I have a 87 Ramcharger and think they look good,and the older stepside dodges like my 74 are ok,but I always thought the regular trucks were'nt to good looking......but this is the most beautiful ram I have seen,it shines like new money,the bright red paint,.....it's nice man,what is the exhaust?
ill have to check that out than. it sucks but its worth it when you have something kinda rare thats pretty nice lol. i was googling stuff and found that jet performance sells in line performace chips for our trucks too. they are kinda pricy but they advertise 25 whp i was thinking about picking one up, my dad put the supercharger idea in my head also but i cant even find one its lame haha
oh wow thats crazy man, its nice to see there are older dodge fans out there. it sucks trying to find parts though. im missing my rear passenger side brake like chrome trim and i cant find it anywhere. and i need interior trim also but no one makes anything for these trucks really.
@ethan706 0- yeah, parts are hard to find. I got a pair of new tail lights for mine off ebay... interior stuff is hard to come by. some of the plastic trim is broken in mine and I cant find good pieces anywhere.
@ethan706 - Ive heard that Kenne Belle builds a supercharger setup for the 94 and up Rams that are suppose to be easy to retrofit to the 93 and earler magnum engines. never researched it any though.
i have the same truck same red and everything haha i bought it last march and love it.whats all done to your truck? everything is original on my truck, and i tried doing that with my 31x10.5 r15 all terrain ta's and it sure didnt burn like that
@ethan706 - all it has it a K&N air filter with a chrome air cleaner, I eliminated the cat, a vortex muffler with dual outlets... tires are 31x1050R15 Yokohama Geolandar ATII's. other than that, it's bone stock
Keep in mind, its a stock 318. also keep in mind, the other set of marks right next to the one I made in this vid are mine also... both tires, just as long, all the way up to the rev limiter
hey come and check out mine tell me what you think stay tune in the video i got an exhuast clip in it to. what gear ratio do you have on urs i need more info ur truck
dunno. Id prefer mine be a little quieter, it is just the way it turned out. I dont really like the sound of a straight pipe. sounds like a derby car or something.
it should fit but without cats i got just like this on on with true duals and both exhuat go out thru pass side and out on front of the wheel with flows and sound amazing
I'm re-doing an 89 D100...and I need to know where you bought your exhaust system. And are you running true duals? or through 1 muffler and dual out of the muffler?
The exhaust is a "cat back" setup. I eliminated the converter, put in a 3" pipe and attached a Vortex muffler (cherry bomb). it is a single 3" inlet, dual 2.5" outlets. really woke up the truck. From there I had the two tailpipes bent at an exhaust shop and capped them off with a pair of stainless Gibson tips
mine is just straight 2 1/4 pipes from the manifold and 2 cherry bomb glasspacks. but the system is rusted out so im pulling it all off and starting from ground zero on it.
my 81 has pretty much the same exhaust as yours, I think the glass packs were Blue Knights... dunno who made them. it sounds pretty good, definitely cackles at wide open throttle.
thanx. actually have no idea what it runs in the quarter. never ran it, though Ive always been curious, it seems to be a bit faster than most truck like it. I did run 2 truck my brother owns, one was a 2001 with a 360, the other was his 2001 with the 24 valve cummins and an Edge chip in it. I beat a fella with a chevy pickup who ran mid 15s with his, but he was an idiot and sat there and spun his tires for quite a while off the line.
start with exhaust. it definitely woke mine up, and the sound is much more appealing than stock. oh, and first gen dakotas nearly always need upper ball joints right away. sorry, man
thats bullshit. it helps alot, something that isnt that expensive only 80-95 dollars. it gained me 22hp and 26lbs ft of tq. street performance and electronics - HELIX throttle body spacer.. its new technology, its good but it wrissles when you accelerates, sounds nice if u like that
At first I thought it was a bit loud, I was going for a little mellower tone, but it really helped the power alot and with the pipes running straight out the back, you dont even hear it running down the highway in overdrive. Pretty happy with it now.
Hell yeah love those old Rams, we have 6 in our family, 2 are power wagons along with other old mopar muscle. Check out my buddies old ram 2wd (on my videos) Nice job on your truck, nice smokie too lol
Hey thanx for the remarks. Loved the Ram movie. I have the one in the vid, plus an 81 ram. Also have a 74 Dart Swinger, which I havent gotten a chance to video yet (online anyway) And of course, finally a 98 Neon, which wont be doing any burnouts, but its still pretty cool. Sorry to hear about your Scamp. My bro has one, its a 76. He put a Dart front clip on it and is waiting for time to get it all painted. Should be a nice project when he's done. Take care, have a great day
I owned a truck similar to yours. An 1988 Dodge W150. Mine was absolutely stripped except for an automatic and AC. Like yours it had a 5.2 V8 and four wheel drive. Unfortunatly, it didn't have the Magnum engine, for that came out in 1990 and that upped the horsepower rating from a respectable 180 to 230. Though, torque figures stayed similar. Do you happen to know if the fuel filter is located in the tank? Usually they are located in the engine compartment, but, I couldn't find it.
Fuel filter should be on the frame rail on the left side of the truck, forward of the tank. pretty much any fuel injected engine will be located there. fuel pump is in the tank.
Hi thanx for the comment on the truck. NOt the original owner, yeah, its got the 5.2 mag. also it is a 4 x 4 with auto/overdrive trans. LE model, loaded, power everything. I run a K&N aircleaner/filter and a vortex muffler with a single 3" inlet and dual 2 1/2" outlets. 3.50 gears in the diffs. if you look closely at the video, there is a really long posi burnout right where I did this one, thats mine too!! Dunno how I pulled that one off, cuz the rear diff is open, no limited slip.
That was sick!!

Hey, thanx. The tips only stick out 2 or 3 inches beyond the bumper, just enough where you can read the "Gibson" on the end of them
moparnutalways 2 years ago
i have the same Gibson tips as you do, and mine are about 4.5" to 5" and stick out 3" past my bumper. I just have to keep them in mind when i back up

with K&N airchager 63 series and helix throtte body spacer..

Does the spacer help out much? I have thought about using one, but have heard it kills low end torque, and 318's need all they can get.

yea i have a 2005 dakota 4.7L V8, and i have the vortex v-baffle exhaust. i think it sounds the best on the dodge trucks
