My 2018 RAM Longhorn

[polara71]

. They do it because they can, it's a rolling billboard, even though most of the nameplates look ridiculous.
I would NOT buy a truck that had that stupid RAM on the grille and/or tailgate.

 

[1978 NYB]

In my opinion.....which means nothing.

The other choice is that outdated crossbar grill which looks cheap and is hideous. Makes the truck look like a Hyundai!

I wouldn't go as far as a Hyundai.... a Chrysler 300 perhaps.

 

[polara71]

Hyundai ? Not sure I've ever seen a resemblance, certainly not like the Catfish ...

Plenty.....

I'm looking at a Diablo Tuner and a Supercharger now.

 

[1978 NYB]

And maybe a Sport Hood for clearance....

I had to go back and look at the pics. I thought it already had that hood. Not too observant, I guess.

You gotta problem....

The Diablo T2 Tuner with a custom tune alone will cut 6 tenths off the 1/4 mile ET.

I went out for a sunrise drive in the truck this morning. Return route heading north on I-95 (no traffic in that direction) and I know a safe one mile stretch that never has any police and vision is clear for almost 2 miles just before my exit. I have a 1/4 mile marked. I have 1,000 miles on the truck so why not make a quick run. I was able to come to a complete stop and let her rip for a 1/4 mile. Completely stock and it has plenty of balls with the 3.92 axle. Wow!

...on I-95.

No traffic North bound early in the morning....everybody heading South to Baltimore to work. Big gaps early in the morning.

 

[1978 NYB]

I was heading Southbound on I-95 yesterday (same mile marker) and had a rock fly up and crack the damn windshield on the RAM. It's a small crack about 1/2". Only can do glass claims on the Geico website. I couldn't believe they were at my house in less than an hour on a Saturday afternoon and had it fixed in 40 minutes. Unless you know where the crack was....you wouldn't be able to see the repair.

Just finished going through the whole thread, great looking truck Bob. Sounds like your enjoying it. Love the supercharger idea also.

Love the truck.

The supercharger and the tune will get the truck in the mid 12's on the 1/4 mile.

Just playing devils advocate here Bob...but won't that void the warranty?

I don't think so. The supercharger is a bolt on just like a catback that doesn't void the warranty.

Maybe Graham can provide some wisdom on that issue.

I gotta think it's more than a catback. You're raising all the pressures on the intake side and pushing the horsepower waaaaaaay up therefore putting a lot more strain on the internals, possibly exceeding their mechanical limits, warranty wise anyway. A catback on the other hand is merely working on the exhaust side allowing the engine to breath easier on the output side.
I could be all wet, but I would use some caution before taking that kinda leap. Very expensive up front for the kit, and even more so if you detonate the engine and they give you a ration of **** for doing something that is considered to void the warranty.
If the truck wasn't brand new and it was out of warranty I would be more inclined to play around. But you've got some serious money tied up in that thing, hate to see you endure any huge problems.
Please don't shoot the messenger, just trying to help out.

Supercharger = voided warranty end of story

Any modifications not performed by a FCA tech using Mopar parts will also be considered as non-warranty items however it becomes a judgement call by the tech if he feels the mods created a problem. Catback is not considered harmful generally and is not a concern. Some asshat Dealers will void a vehicle warranty that has mods just to be jerks. @cantflip can chime in with his experiences on this matter.
