Finally got our - new to us - Ram to the drag strip. We had a 02 Dakota that spent most of its life doing winter driving (Nov.- Mar.) here in "upstate" NY so the rust was extreme. The rest of the year - rain or shine- I was on my Victory Motorcycle. There is info on the site about it. I believe the Ram is also here but just in case: 2016 Ram Tradesman, Reg. cab, 8 ft box, 5.7, 6 Spd. auto, 3.55's BUT only one leg (no sure grip), 32-gallon tank that was @ 1/4, I'll put up 2 time slips (both are test & tune) the one that says win was a solo run the other was not a "race" so the clocks are programed to say winner. Have done a few mods that have nothing to do with performance, (added DRIVING LIGHTS -Diode Dynamics LED assemblies R110925, back up camera and additional reverse lamp Morimoto boost bar plate light, and changed the headlamp bulbs - 5000k color still Halogen, has just basic 265/70rR17's The only performance stuff, put on an MBRP XP series cat back single tail pipe exhaust (quietest one I could find), and a K&N cold air kit 63-1561
So for a vehicle that weighs over 5000Lbs. I got it to hook up on the first pass, but it came out on the 2nd pass with the one tire spinning for about 3 truck lengths! My buddy that I went with said from the stands it looked like it broke!
