would you trade?

[viperhauler]

what do you you need to tow, and what mileage did you expect?

i carried my buddy's race car for a whole season when his truck went down, my trailer is about 5k lbs... hell, half my miles are probably pulling that trailer

 

[YoungMedic23]

To tow my 5000lb jeep to the races in an enclosed trailer....may get an open trailer....haven't decided

Also diesel is a new untouched realm for me

 

[viperhauler]

for mileage sake, yeah, you won't do better than a diesel...

but up to 6k lbs., i'd rather use my 10...

Dan,here is my .02,even though I'm an asshat apparently. I have an 09 Jeep with a fair amount done. I love it and wouldn't trade it for much,but if i were you,keep your truck. Pay it off and get the Jeep,of get another payment now,but don't get rid of the Ram.

I love the Viper trucks,have driven a modded one and It's a totally different animal.
More involved,like a sports car I guess with the 6 speed and Rwd. The Jeep is everything the RAM is not. The RAM is everything the Jeep is not.

To settle this there is only one option,have both. I'm pretty sure you would he sore without your truck,just as I would be sore without my Jeep. Both are beasts in their own right. Hopefully you can figure a way to enjoy both.
Also,if you go with a Jeep,09's are the best year Lol,J/k but seriously the 08-10 were a lot nicer in the inside and offered a bunch of improvements over the 06-07. But in any case you won't regret owning one. I have 24k trouble free miles on mine. Go for it!

How does the motor an the rest of the drivetrain handle that power? Is a motor or trans build necessary to boost one and run low 11's like you have?

It's held up fine so far,which has been a year and a half.Been in 8 psi the whole time,that's about the limit as far as running a safe amount of boost. But if course,its all in the tune as well. I have different shift solenoids in the tranny,they bump up the line pressure and that's supposed to give the tranny some more life. Basically It's a bandaid,and if I keep beating on it the tranny will take a dump at some point. At this power level,no issue with the transfer case or differentials. Some have broke the rear end with a little more power than me using drag radials though.

Also have an Edge 3200 stall convertor. Which TC are ya running?

 

[98spyder]

[hankthetank]

I really like the Jeeps, and plan on getting one as a DD. YoungMedic23, that thing is pure badass:rock: I've watched it over time as you've modded it... congrats on getting it to where it is now.


With that said... YoungMedic23, you are a total douche lol:elefant:
