David Belcarz
Flat Rock, Michigan
'03 Dodge Ram
268 Horsepower
Like we said before, there were a lot of trucks that participated in this year's showdown, This '03 Ram was a s cool as any of them. David is an oil refinery field operator, and for a "roughneck", his truck looked pretty clean and detailed.
Like some of our other competitors, David came to the showdown planning to have a good time, and his stock Ram didn't disappoint him. Ok, maybe the OBX headers, Dynomax exhaust and Vararam air cleaner assembly might have made it a little more fun.
The '03 Ram is notorious for not accepting a "tune" very well, so David makes do. Rounding out the heavy hauler is the stock 545RFE transmission, and a 9-1/4 rear with a 3.92 gear set, and a "limited slip" differential.
Although Dave might not have won our AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Numbers Don't Lie Shootout, He made a great showing, and if you want to see video of his Ram on the dyno, check out our video page at www.moparmuscle.com
