2004 Dodge Ram - Lowered and Cammed w/ KRC 218

[securtis24]

What a waste of a pickup.

[jordan21210]

@securtis24 What a waste of your time to comment on something you don't like. FYI, I don't have the truck anymore. Now f*ck off.

[kingpayne61]

I have the same truck. what's your engine/exhaust setup, I want mine to sound like that.

[JoseMor13]

Nice bro

[817speedy]

sound gudd...wat brand of cam u got on it Bro..

[MrShanoruski]

What lowering kit you have?  U run 6.1valves and springs

[jordan21210]

@MrShanoruski McGaughy's 2/4 econo drop and yes, it has 6.1 springs and pushrods.

[GetToDaChoppa50]

hey I got a McGaughy's on my 04 1500, never got it aligned and now that I do a ton of drivin for my current job the insides of my front tires got chewed up. I went to belle tire to get it aligned but they said they couldnt do it because its lowered. did you get any extra parts to allow alignment? or did you have to get extra work done? idk what to do.

[jordan21210]

@GetToDaChoppa50 Sounds like the lied to you man. I brought it over to a friend of mine's shop and they aligned it. I mean, he told me they couldn't get it perfect because of the lowering kit, but they got it as close as they could.

[GetToDaChoppa50]

@jordan21210 ah, probably didnt want any liability or whatever. I did call McGaughy's and the guy I spoke with said just to take it to a different shop since I got the whole kit with springs it should be able to be aligned, I tried some other places but they are all so busy I'll keep trying thanks for the reply sweet truck

[jordan21210]

@GetToDaChoppa50 Yeah, most likely. Like they said, try another shop. And no problem man, I enjoy helping others even though I don't have the truck anymore. Most people with these vids never respond to comments.

[GetToDaChoppa50]

@jordan21210 yeah I'm about to go to a shop that specializes in big tires and custom suspension hopefully it'll be a wrap after I visit them. amen to responding, thanks again I just didnt know if I would need extra parts or not.

[77wall77]

how much does it cost to get those wheels powdercoated i want mine done?

[jordan21210]

@77wall77 Ran me about $450 for all four.

[77wall77]

@jordan21210 ok thats alot cheaper then new ones n looks good do u have a full lowering kit or just tha rear drop

[jordan21210]

@77wall77 Full kit. It's a McGaughy's Econo 2/4 kit. Comes with 2" drop coils for up front and a 4" flip kit for the rear.

[musicaddict333]

whats the gear ratio? cause ive heard people have had to upgrade theres when they installed there 268's?

[jordan21210]

@musicaddict333 I had a KRC218 cam (too big, fyi). The Comp 268 is a great cam, and you are correct...it helps to up the gear ratio. I went from a 3.92 to 4.56s. With a 268 though, I would at least get 4.10s...I actually think that is the best option for that cam.

[LeadSlinger89]

sounds damn good! you gonna cam your new one?

[jordan21210]

@LeadSlinger89 Thanks man. Wish I could, but these new Eagle Hemi engines are harder to cam with the VVT and all. Plus I will probably be trading my dad my new 2011 Ram for his 2009 SRT8 Challenger. So I'll get to play with a car instead lol.

[ukellisbeltran832]

Sounds clean with the cut outs open

[fuckricerss]

is it a hemi or 4.8?

[jordan21210]

@fuckricerss Hemi.

[jsmarch52]

@jordan21210 what wheels and tires do you have and where did you get em

[jordan21210]

@jsmarch52 2006-2008 OEM 20" rims powdercoated black on 285/50/20 Toyo Proxes stII's, got the tires from a local shop.

[mcazteck]

it sounds like a beast how many hp it has???

[arcticcatmaniac]

Does putting a bigger cam in burn more gas?

[gwoodieg]

@arcticcatmaniac Usually! Depends on size of cam!

[harleyguy89]

Sounds wicked. I have a 97 Ram SST that im workin on right now. Do you know if a rearend off a newer Ram can be installed on my truck? 

[jordan21210]

@harleyguy89 It should fit. I'd check in some forums first though.

[Houstonkiller713]

how much do you run 0-60 or quarter mile

[jordan21210]

@Houstonkiller713 Cam was too big so it never ran too fast. Best time was a 14.7 in the 1.4 with a cutout, headers, tuner, intake, and 3.92 gears. Not sure about 0-60.

[range455]

i got the same truck bro whats the name of that paint?and how much did it cost to get it painted?thanx man:D

[jordan21210]

@range455 It's the stock paint, called Graphite Metallic and was only available on 2003 and 2004 Rams. They changed it to Mineral Grey in 2005. Mineral Grey is a bit lighter in color compared to Graphite.

[raminjd]

How did it drive with the cam in it? what tune did you have on it? Love the truck man!

[jordan21210]

@raminjd It drove ok with the cam. Once the tune was decent (done by Hemifever, aka Sean Powell, using SCT handheld) it drove much better. At first it would stall a good bit, but after it drove relatively normal. I had a very big cam though, it was actually too big and was the root of a lot of my problems. If you go with something, say like a 216/220 or anything smaller...you won't have any issues with drivability. My cam was a 219/224.

[rmindydotcom]

some decent lope there, sounds/looks good!

[gokartsRfun]

how much were the exhaust cut outs? ive wanted to do it for like a year

[jordan21210]

@gokartsRfun cutouts run around 350 brand new for a dual setup. a little cheaper for a single setup.

[rodolfoc21]

what exhaust is in it? i have a comp 268

[jordan21210]

@rodolfoc21 It had AEM longtube headers, no cats, dual 2.5" electric cutouts, dual in/out 2.5" pypes performance muffler dumped in front of the rear axle.

[mallullas]

nice truck man! wat u runnin with this setup???

[carfreak59750]

loving the cut outs bud

[bored693]

this truck is really nice, im quite jealous..

[20warrior03]

nice ride! what kind of lowering kit are you using? thats about what i was looking to be at on mine.

[jordan21210]

@20warrior03 thanks. it's a McGaughy's 2/4.5 drop.

[spauley22]

@Jordan21210 thanks man, yeah I'll probably hold off on the cam then and just try other stuff like cold air and I think I can use the supership now on my truck. I like your ride though man it's nice!

[spauley22]

How expensive is it to have a cam put in a 4.7? I wanna do it to mine for performance and that sick idle!

[jordan21210]

@spauley22 just depends man. cams for the 4.7 are a little harder to come by and are a little more expensive because the 4.7 is OHC. but i've heard 4.7 cams are easier to install than 5.7 cams. if you can do the install yourself, or have someone help you...you could probably install them for anywhere from 600-1000.

[gerardoqaz]

dude i love your truck.........ill trade you!!lol

[coronadasucks]

man you have a badass truck!!!

[rider60raider]

that truck is fuckin sick

[01transamguy]

Are you running the stock heads?

[jordan21210]

@01transamguy yep. some big valves are planned for the late winter/spring

[renrivas123]

What's the drop size? 2/4?

[jordan21210]

@renrivas123 yes. 2/4

[bigenginesismythang]

that truck is awsome!!!

[01transamguy]

Is that krc cam run good?

[jordan21210]

@01transamguy yeah so far so good...it sounds amazing. no good track numbers yet, but i just put in a stall and gears. so some times should be coming up in the winter.

[blue1957green1998]
