As for my 2002 Ram 1500..Well, unlike alot of the cool rides on here, mine is simple & bare bones. I have owned a few vehicles with lots of toys, and it all breaks eventually. I specifically hunted down a truck with EXACTLY what this one has. The color was the only item I was willing to negotiate on.

I have always been a Dodge fan, but this was only my second foray into the Ram world. My first was a simple 2001 1500 Patriot Blue. The only options were the automatic transmission and the cloth 40/20/40 seats.

I added a soft tonneau cover, Herculiner Bed liner, and eventually Mopar Performance molded running boards, and an AIRAID kit. The only other mod was to remove the badges and put on vinyl 1500 decals from a Sport Ram. Over all I was very happy, except that I felt the 3.9 V6 lacked the power I really wanted (at the time of purchase fuel econeomy was an issue).

Fast forward a year...the new Rams are out, and the same day I looked at them, an idiot flattened the left side of my Ram with his Tacoma. I took it as a sign that I needed to buy a new Ram.

On to my 2002 Ram 1500 ST standard cab.
4.7 Liter V8, 545RFE transmission, 3.55 gears, and cloth bucket seats. The color is Atlantic Blue.

Left is the truck when I first got it. Right it is pictured after I tinted the windows, and removed the emblems.

Also, I installed a Kenwood MP3 Player and a Prestige Alarm. The junk Champion spark plugs got scraped for some good Autolites. Herculiner got put to use once again for my bedliner.

When I bought this rig there was nothing available in the aftermarket for it. So the next major undertaking was the fabrication of a cold air kit.

A nylon elbow and 3.25" Rubber joint from Home Depot.

Next, an hour of cutting and fitting cardboard templates. We used these templates to get 3" exhaust pipe bent at a local shop. After that was the fabrication (through cardboard trial and error) of a shield. On the end of the pipe is a K&N 8" filter.

The system does very well, even though the pipe uses compression bends. Mandrel bent 3.25 would be nice, but the task was to try to do it ourselves. I won't claim it makes any more power, but the engine RPMs climb MUCh faster. Plus the system gives the truck a real aggressive rumble up at 2700+ RPMs.
My plan is to wrap the pipe in header tape to keep the heat OUT of the pipe.
