I ran 37:13:50r17 Toyo mt’s my stock 3:42 gears caused the trans to downshit all the time. The 4:30’s brought the truck back to stock. Maby the new tuning and 3:73’s will not be so noticeable.

the new HO motor with 420hp and 1075lb ft and the 3.73s should be great. You had a ‘17 correct?

Sweet car, what series do you race in?

No specific series, I do a lot of instructing and a lot of HPDE events. I will probably do a few NASA and GRIDLIFE events this year. Made a ton of changes to the car and want to make sure its sorted.

I thought your user icon looked familiar, did you have a couple of sweet white Duramax trucks before getting this ram?

Yes that would be me I've had 6 Duramax pickups and one Ford SD(yuck) prior to the RAM.

Just catching back up. BUT I did figure out my fuel mileage on the total round-trip (1110 miles) I got 7.96 miles per gallon running into the wind and running 75-80 mph I didn’t think that was too bad. We hit an awful storm on the way home and it was no so fun.

After a lot of melting and cleaning and scrubbing.
