Hemi Ram... what year 03 or 04?

Post by ACRucrazy »

Im wanting a 2wd standard cab, short box Hemi Ram.

What year should I get and why? I know theres some differences with the years, but unsure of what exactly. IIRC its something with the computer and exhaust?

And being they type of guy I am, I couldnt leave it alone, it would get cam, exhaust, intake and computer ugrades.

So with that, what year would be easier to mod/tune?

Thanks

The 03's fuel pump is rated at 49 psi, 04's and above are 58psi. Correct me if I am wrong the injectors maybe to rated different too

Post by rjmyer »

03' emissions are more strict than 04'so i was told by a mopar performance tech.i have an 03' and my modifications would be alot more emissions friendly if i had an 04' so i was told.
