Hey Onyx! Glad you got back to the good ol USA safe!! I really like my Ram, no complaints or regrets what so ever. It's a preasure to drive the truck!! I think the 150 hour break in thing is a crock! Well maybe not too! I noticed that after I got back from camping, about an 8 hr, 400 mile round trip that the truck seemed to have more power and I was over the 150 hour mark. At first I thought it was just the feeling of driving an empty truck again after a week of being loaded with camping gear. However, I did a couple 0-60 runs and they were about .2 seconds quicker than normall and the truck seem to spin the tires fairly easy, but that soon went away. I'm not sure if it was a fluke tank of gas or the weather, it's heated up here and we've been in the 90's for some time now. I'm really going to try and get to the track tomorrow night, going to Infineon Raceway in Sonoma (use to be Sears Point) and see what it'll do. My old Silverado with an FIPK, exhaust and HPP did 15.50 and 15.33 it's first time to the track. So I can see how the Ram compares with only intake and exhaust for mods. I think maybe mid to low 15's, nothing special but I didn't buy the Ram because it hauled ***. I won't have any excuses and I won't give any, the truck has over 5K miles now so I can't say it's not broken in yet. Well, the only excuse I could have is the weather and my shitting driving, we'll see. LOL! I'll let you know how it does and I'm glad you checked in, take care!

sweet.. sounds good... keep me informed!!! i'm trying to get up that way in october or so....

 

Keep us all informed with your times, I want to find out how the programmers will help you guys out.

 

If you do come up this way, PM me, we can try and hook up for that beer I said I would buy you for watching our backs while you were deployed.

Yep, I'll post my times, good or bad for all to see. My truck doesn't have a programmer yet, the 03 Hemi guys are just now are getting theirs from Superchips. Superchips said it probably won't be until early 2005 before they get one for the 04 Hemi's, totally different PCM from the 03 trucks. Figures!

i heard the 04's are better anyway....

 

Back form the wednesday night drags yet? I'd also like to see how that truck runs.
