I plan to PTM the bumper cap, probably be one of the first things I do. I would also like to level it out some it really sits nose-down. Other than that, I probably won't do to many major mods to it, at least until I start getting bored.........hopefully that is a long time down the road.

Diablosport predator tuner is the way to go with the rams too. I don't know of anybody that does custom mail order tuning like BB does for GM's but with the predator there are shops that will do a custom dynotune for you using the predator.

SCT tuner and theres a guy on dodge talk (hemifever) that does custom tunes for just about every modded hemi on the forum not really a need for that unless he decides to do headers, cam etc...

I don't really plan on doing major mods or a custom tune on this one. The HEMI has plenty of power as is, and from what I can tell, Dodge got the programming right on this one. The engine has PLENTY of power as is, and although you can feel some torque management in the transmission, it is not obtrusive at all. The MDS is seamless, if it wasn't for the light on the dash, I would never know it was working. The transmission programming is also VERY good on this one, especially compared to the GM vehicles I have had. With the cruise set at 78 on the interstate, it will run up and down some pretty significant hills and never kick out of 5th gear. One area I went through yesterday, I have to downshift my F350 work truck one or sometimes 2 gears to make it to the top of the hill at >70mph, the Dodge never even kicked out of 5th. With the cruise set, it will also downshift on a steep downhill portion to keep you from coasting way faster than the set speed. Surprisingly, the MDS stays activated when it does this.

I also don't want to mess with warranty issues. I asked the dealership what their view was on mods, and he said that they really don't mind things like intakes, exhausts, lifts (as long as it is not extreme), etc., but that the one thing he had seen warranty work declined for was computer modifications. I don't think I will take the risk that he is kidding.
