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** |

Ram goes all-in on SAE J2807 tow ratings [w/video]
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Thanks to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), when car shoppers look at horsepower and torque figures on vehicles, they know that all the automakers are calculating them the same way. However, that isn't the case when it comes to truck buyers and max towing capacity ratings because each company figures the value differently. That practice finally changes with the SAE's standardized J2807 system, though, and Ram Truck is the first one to apply the new test procedure to its entire light- and heavy-duty pickup range.
All models of the Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 use the new, standardized rating for the 2015 model year, but buyers might not notice too much difference. According to the company, in 99 percent of cases the max towing weights are unchanged or even improve slightly from last year. That's a strong result compared to the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra that are seeing few increases but mostly decreases under the new testing procedure.
"For too long, an uneven playing field existed and towing capacities went unchecked. We're happy to be the only pickup truck manufacturer to align with the SAE J2807 towing standard across our pickup truck lineup," said Mike Cairns, director of Ram Truck engineering, in the company's announcement of the new specs.
Ram 1500 wins Consumer Reports fullsize truck test
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Vehicles that perform well in road tests by some of the most popular automotive publications, such as Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Automobile, don't always score well in in Consumer Reports' more regimented, practical test procedures, so the Ram 1500's climb to the top of CR's scoreboard is a boon for the well-received pickup truck, which CR also put on its "recommended" list.
To start off with, the freshened 2013 Ram 1500 has a lighter, stiffer chassis than before, and the four-wheel-drive Crew Cab that CR bought and tested performed flawlessly and achieved class-leading fuel economy (15 miles per gallon) with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 - the most popular engine choice for the 1500 - and the new eight-speed automatic transmission. The unique-in-its-class rear coil spring setup endowed the truck with "one of the best rides of any pickup," CR reports. That helped it earn its class-leading road-test score of 78, well ahead of the nearest competition still in production, the Toyota Tundra (69) and the Ford F-150 (68). It's worth noting, however, that the Chevrolet Avalanche outscores the 1500 by two points (80), but production of that vehicle ends after the current 2013 model year.
About the only things the publication could find wrong with the truck were a heavy tailgate and a high step up into the cabin. Get ready for the next round later this summer when CR is finished testing the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, which is doing well so far in the publication's tests.
Ram's newest Power Wagon looks even more outlandish for 2014 [w/video]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014The newest Ram Power Wagon is arguably the most imposing vehicle to be shown at the 2014 New York Auto Show, boasting a number of new aesthetic features, as well as a new graphics package.
Ram added a 6.4-liter V8 as an optional engine for 2014, but in the Power Wagon, it's the sole powerplant, boasting 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. An equally robust six-speed automatic backs up the brawny engine, while 4.10 gearing, an 11.5-inch rear axle and electronically locking front and rear diffs come standard.
A new five-link coil rear suspension and Bilstein monotube shocks should deliver a pretty comfortable ride, while the Power Wagon's off-road ability is complemented by the new Articulink system on the front suspension, which offers electronic sway-bar disconnect. 33-inch Goodyear rubber comes standard.
