4.88

Yes

You need to CALM down

My truck will probably get the same treatment.

Dang..y'all wanna hear some v10s scream at 75 doncha

Yes



My truck will probably get the same treatment.

The ford v10's love gears. My wife's excursion has the factory 4.30's and stock 265's and it rocks. Pulled the rig to harlan last 4th loaded with tools and gear and averaged 10.5 hand calculated for the entire trip.

Looking like 4.10 or 4.56 will be the route i go, 4.88 maybe too deep

So 2nd gen dodge interiors suck, plain and simple. The cup holders in mine broke a long time ago and before they broke they weren’t what I would call sturdy.

I read about swapping in a 4th gen center console that would give me cup holders there instead of in the dash. I found a used one and picked it up. My first intention was to just swap the top part and not the bottom seat part. Well i could not for the life of me get the 2nd gen top off, so I decided to just swap the whole thing.

The bolt holes do not line up exact, you can mount the front two or you can mount the back two. First i mounted the front two holes, but decided that out the lid too far back. Now my plan is to mount the back two and make a small bracket for the front. That to come soon.

Very nice. I need to update the interior in mine for sure.

I added this one to mine: '98-'02 Dodge Ram Center Console Cup Holder as it was the only one I could find that guaranteed to allow the shifter to not interfere.

I actually didn’t know that existed, probably could have solved my problem a long time ago.

That’s great Clay. Now you’ll have a place to keep your spit bottle in YOUR truck instead of mine

Man, I have done 2 go fast mods this week. I must be over 450hp now. Big Red will be screaming down the road now!

 

[BigClay]

I like that generation Dodges. I had a 2000 2500 with the V10 and that thing didn't care how I drove it and or how much weight it got 8.9 mpgs. Also..... Don't do burnouts from 1st through 4th.... The trans tends to explode...

yep, 8-9 MPGs no matter how I drive it, so I just hammer down all the time

Holy leafs!

yep, it will bounce the rear tires off the ground unloaded going over a speed bump, so far only lost a couple fillings
