OP I also like all of your rigs.
Thanks! Yeah I plan to keep this one for awhile...there isn't anything else I could need in a truck other than going to a diesel.........hmmm. Haha.

When I added the Bilsteins and set them at the highest setting (2.8), I made sure I got aftermarket beefy control arms.

Also, I need to update all my info....thanks for reminding me...I'm in RI now, Warwick to be precise.
I used to work at the Hearst chemical plant in Warwick every summer for two weeks when I was 18, with my father.
They would rehab everything during those two weeks. Tough place to work!
First time I saw a man die. Apparently something didn't mix and he got blown out of a manhole. That was something to see...

That's just it!....I really don't want to...I mean eventually I wouldn't mind it but I would like to enjoy a fairly normal truck for once.
I can't count how many times I have said this. It won't last. It's a disease that has no known cure.

Nice truck. The rams are great trucks, they really have turned themselves around. That 8 speed is an awesome transmission!

But most importantly you have the 6.2! I love the 6.2. It is an awesome engine. Tuned it is even better!

That's exactly what I was thinking...I remember back in the day seeing your truck and hoping to get one as nice and I think I've come close! Haha.

Thanks! Yeah I have nothing bad to say about them other than you can't haul much in the bed without sag because of the coil springs( but you can fix that with add-ons)(also the ride is really nice with rear coils) and the exhaust manifold design is junk as you will need them replaced before you hit 50k miles.

I have a good amount to learn about the 6.2 but from my limited research I did before buying, I knew that I wanted the 6.2 motor. That was one of my selling points for sure. I am going to have to look into the tuning aspect of it....I had a Gryphon on my old truck with a custom tune but I need to do some research. Would you recommend a tune/tuner? I know of MPT but other than that I'm out of date.

The biggest thing I noticed so far is how easy it looks like it will be to change my oil...finally a design that makes sense! The Hemi was miserableeeee to do...oil got everywhere and was in a ridiculous place.
