My first Dodge and I love it! It really is a great all around truck with the ability to Tow, race, and tackle mild off-road trails while getting great gas mileage(for an 8200 lb truck). I know this really isnt tech but i thought dodge people might like it..... so here are some pics!

When I got it!

Looks tits man, love it!

That ARB looks great! And the 37s look great leveled!

best part is the 37s dropped my rpm's to roughly 1600 at highway speed so I end up getting over 20 mpg consistently at 70 mph!

Badass man... I really want a Cummins ;/

I'm not positive on the Road Armor, but I'm pretty sure I love it!

The ARB on the other hand, well, all their bumpers seem to look the same to me; ugly.

Cool pics though...freakin thing seems to flex WAY better than I would expect a 4 ton truck to flex! :smokin:

u got 4.10's in the axles?

With the torque of a Cummins it don't matter what ratio you have!

nope just 3.73s.... but I have a programmer which I only have set on Tow/Economy so it makes up for the lack of gearing. I think if I were to go to 4.10s my in town mileage might slightly go up but my highway would drop significantly. Does anyone know if they make a 3.42 for the rear 10.5? I know they do for the front 9.25.

Get yourself some guages and then a Smarty programmer and the truck will run even better.........

Welcome to the CTD club!

Truck looks really good with those bumpers!

If they would have ever put a cummins in the Power Waggon I would have already been in the club!

you SRW guys make me jealous. Not easy to put 37s on a dually to make my 4.10s not suck down the fuel at cruise.

i believe you have an 11.5" rear same as the duramax and yes there is a 3.42 gear available as well as a locker. randy's r&p has an arb locker and grizzly locker as well as the 3.42 gears.
