Well folks, we have our first Dodge on the "Truck of the Day"! Congrats, Joe Hicks! Today's Dodge is a 2002 2500 SLT Laramie RAM. Joe purchased his 2002 Dodge in Spokane, Washington. "It died while on a test drive.... the injector pump failed! After it was towed back to the dealer and $1300 repair later I bought it. It's got the 5.9 Cummins, auto, 4x4, leather and every other option I can think of. This truck has along with it a Dana 70 out back with the Dana 60 up front with limited slip 3.55 gears."
Under the hood as he said we have a 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel, fueled by an Edge Juice with the Attitude Monitor. Other performance modifications include a FASS 150 series fuel pump system and a MBRP 4" Stainless exhaust. Before the FASS System was installed, the fuel pressure was 6psi at cruising speeds and "0" when given any kind of throttle. SCARY! After Joe installed the FASS 150 Pump with the help of his dad, he now gets a consistant 15 to 18psi all the time.
On the outside there are stainless steel running boards, a Delta Pro Tool Box and Turbo Liner to protect the bed. This truck used to have a "patched in" pair of 5" stacks coming out of the bed behind the cab. Joe says, "...they went bye bye."
To the interior Joe added a Garmin GPS system (for which his wife is extremely thankful). As you can see, this is a well put together truck. Great color, great accessory combination and totally ready to work and play all while getting 18-21+MPG!
Thanks Joe for sharing your truck with us! If anyone would like to see their truck on Truck Profile's "Truck of the Day", please click the button below and fill out the form with as much information as possible.
