    Is it worth procharging a 2016 ram 5.7? +140hp. Not sure if it would be any more fun
    For sure. Hemis love the boost.

    Awesome, I think I’m going to do it. Can’t justify the spend on a TRX and still love my truck for what it is, just a bit more power would be nice.

    Any good upgrades to suggest for suspension?

    For the gram or a specific use case? Bilstein 5100/6112 for a lift setup, or go all-in with a set of Icon or King’s. Some will say Fox 2.0 but I found they were very stiff.

    Specific use ha ha..

    Happy with the ride height, just would like better ride quality. I’ll look into the icon or kings but don’t want some massive lifted truck either

    RIP gas mileage. I've thought about it on my last few trucks but everyone I've spoken with complains about 10mpg or worse even when you stay out of the throttle

    Does your 2016 have the 8spd trans? If not, you might have issues finding a place to install that Procharger on a 6spd trans.

    This is very important. The 6-speed is the same piece of garbage 4-speed from a 1999 Jeep, just with different software.

    I went the other way with my last Dodge. Lowered with Caltracks and airbags.

    I think it’s anything newer than 2014 requires a new PCM as they are encrypted and locked on the newer ones. So plan for that additional tuning expense to go with the supercharger.

    It is the 8speed trans. Understandably the gas mileage will go to shit.

    Thanks gents

    Just needs to be sent out to HP or Diablo for the hardware unlock service.

    Didn't you just about need to scrap this truck because you can't buy a steering rack? I love the idea of adding power, but imagine spending the money on it and having something similar happen that you can't get around.
