2012 Arrington Ram 1500 R/t- 392 Srt Engine, Coilovers, 4.56 Gears And More! on 2040-cars
New Windsor, New York, United States
|
For those of you whom wished that the SRT division would bring back a modified Ram, this one's for you. A 392 crate motor for an SRT Challenger was dropped into the engine bay along with custom shorty headers and an 87mm throttle body. The rear end was then converted to an Eaton POSI along with a 4.56 final drive. There's now a fan assisted external transmission cooler and a water cooled oil filter assembly. The entire dyno tune and adjust was handled by the absolute best in the country, Josh at HHP and AJ of Arrington. The result? How about 404/438 at the wheels of smooth, pure power. No check engine lights, no error codes, no drama. No expense was spared and the results are amazing. This truck eats stock SRT vehicles and the Viper Ram trucks.
With the engine, tuning and driveline sorted, it was time to turn the attention to the suspension. Custom engineered RideTech coilovers with complete adjustability were added to each corner. They were adjusted via corner weighting and optimized for balance and smooth ride. To get the lowered stance but not lose any of the ride, we turned to MCG drop spindles in the front and an adjustable panhard bar in the back. The alignment is spot on and the truck rides on rails yet handles bumps like a dream. This is a $2000 suspension in shocks alone, and the feel and quality of the ride is its reward. Finishing off the handling side is a set of 22" SRT chrome truck rims with staggered tires sized at 285/45 and 305/45 in Goodyear Fortera SL. The tires are practically spotless with no abnormal wear, plugs or other drama. Now on to the fun stuff: Cosmetics and bolt ons. We added the full fender flares and painted them to match the truck. The rear tail lamps are LED units lightly smoked and the front lights are Euro spec light smoke. There's an S&B intake, Solo Catback Exhaust, Custom Y-Pipe, Full Bed Rug and the best of class tonneau, the Undercover Lux painted the factory Mopar black. And for the true aficionado, you'll notice that this is a three seater. How is that you say? The Ram R/T's only came with the center console. Well, a local Dodge dealer performed the swap over including the seat belts, column shifter and revised center dash cupholder. The result: The ability to safely bring two other people along for the ride with absolutely no cutting, welding or other nonsense. Nothing but factory Mopar parts all around and the interior is like it rolled off the assembly line that way. So why you ask is such a truck for sale? Because my six month labor of love needs to find a new home. Recent events have left my business in need of the cash and my pride and joy will have to go. My hope is that she finds her way to someone that appreciates the level of difficulty it takes to build a truck like this one the right way. Anybody can cram a big motor into something but making it operate like it is from the factory, well that takes time, money and most importantly, only the best tuners and installers. This Ram has just under $35K to make her complete and the buy in from the dealer was around $30K. My rationale: A $65K truck that can do all this, and the only one in the United States with this setup, is a bargain compared to other SRT vehicles. So rest assured that you're buying the best from a guy that cares and has a perfect record here on Ebay. I don't sell garbage and I do what needs to be done to make the sale right for both of us. **Feel free to shoot me offers as I'm highly motivated yet cautiously looking for the right buyer as well.** **Trades will also be considered** |

FCA plants skipping summer shutdown to keep up with demand
Thu, May 14 2015Hopefully, some FCA US factory employees don't have big plans for the usual summer shutdown, because the automaker is keeping several plants running this year. Demand is so high that the company wants to keep models rolling off the assembly lines. Four FCA US assembly plants, all the engine factories, and some locations that build transmissions are staying open throughout the summer, according to the Detroit Free Press. Usually, these sites would see a two-week shutdown for the company to retool and perform repairs. This year, factories are staying open for FCA to support its strong sales. The lines that remaining humming through the summer show an inclination toward the automaker's popular SUV's and crossovers. They include the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Michigan that builds the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango; Saltillo Van Assembly in Mexico that constructs the Ram ProMaster; Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio that produces the Cherokee and Wrangler; and Toluca Assembly in Mexico that makes the Dodge Journey and Fiat 500.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Ram boss says not to expect midsize pickup in America
Mon, Apr 6 2015Remember that mysterious midsize four-door pickup FCA was spotted testing recently? It may be sold as a Fiat in markets overseas, but don't expect it to join the Ram lineup in North America. At least not according to the latest word from the truck brand's new boss. Speaking with Automotive News at the New York Auto Show, Ram CEO Bob Hegbloom outlined four criteria for a successful midsize pickup, particularly in the North American marketplace: they have less capability than a fullsize truck, but return with a more compact form, lower price and considerably higher fuel economy. "I've been able to develop a strategy to come up with three of the four," said Hegbloom, but "I haven't seen anyone who can deliver on all four." Smaller and less capable are easy, but getting both the price and the fuel consumption down at the same time is where it gets tricky. As it is, a Ram 1500 with the diesel engine and rear-wheel drive delivers 29 miles per gallon on the highway, which is already more than the 27-mpg rating on the midsize Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. But Hegbloom figures that in order to justify a midsize pickup, American buyers would expect at least 35 mpg on the highway, and in order to do so, FCA would have to employ some trick tech, which would in turn raise the price beyond an attractive level. The last time Chrysler offered a midsize truck in America was with the Dakota that was discontinued in 2011. Ford similarly ceased offering the Ranger in North America in 2012, leaving the new Colorado and Canyon to take on the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier in the compact/midsize pickup market in the US. With the prospect of a Ram version apparently off the table, then, Fiat's midsize four-door pickup is likely take on the likes of the Volkswagen Amarok, Mitsubishi Triton and Toyota Hilux in markets like Europe and South America. But like those trucks, it will likely never see the inside of an American showroom.
