Badging on the tailgate (04 has "DODGE"; 05 does not).
Was UConnect available in the 04's? I can never remember.
Donzi26zx said:Thanks, the reason I ask is my friend has a 04 and has complete exhaust, lontubes, no cats, and corsa mufflers, computer tune, thermostat, and volant cold air. We raced the other day back to back 3 times and he only beat me by a little over a car length each time. It must be the gears, because my truck is stock for now or mybe he cant drive?
Two different trucks. Two different drivers. Waaay too many variables.ViperTruck2933 said:Prolly not many here who will agree with me....BUT I think the gear change to 4.56 is a wash. :dontknow:
Ran side by side with my neighbors 05. Almost identical mods. He was quicker off the line but I pulled harder after the 1/8 mile. For running a 1/4 mile I think it washes out, maybe even an advantage to the 04 if you're running for more than a 1/4 mile.
JMHO.
Not really....think about it. Both drivers have their right feet planted to the floor at the same time in 2nd gear and 4.56 truck barely pulls on the 4.10 truck.Hamrhead said:Two different trucks. Two different drivers. Waaay too many variables.
Put 4.56's/4.88's in YOUR truck and you WILL feel the difference!:rock:
