My Ram's story/build thread.

Well, since my love lady bought herself a nice used '06 Charger R/T to drive I've been busy making room in the garage. This beast won't sit outside.

Still I started on the engine. This was brought about by an issue I've had for years with the throttle cable sticking. The pic shows why. Nice.

Also completed stage 1 of the engine re detail. Looks like an easy job but it was a total pain. The look is unique.

Stage two will be relocating the heater hoses and building plug wire retainers to clear headers. Stage three will be a set of OBS shorties.

Looking good! That cable was a disaster waiting to happen!

Hey, we're gonna keep this thread alive to try and help this forum.

So here's 2015's rundown...

Lined the bed floor and tailgate. May do the sides in '16

Changed the front springs out to fix the lean. Finally installed the front Bilsteins. Removed one arm, welded the zerk hole shut and drilled and tapped a new hole. Now I can finally grease the the bushing.

For 2016, I'd planned on replacing the crunched nerf bars and adding either headers or an electric fan setup.
