RAM 2500

101 – THE BASICS

The big brother to the Ram 1500,  the 2500 Heavy Duty is the most powerful, most capable pickup in the range with a max braked towing capacity of up to 8 Tonnes.  At ECC, we have experience with both the mammoth 276kw / 1152nM torque Cummins engine found in the 2500, as well as the 6.4 Hemi engine found in the Power Wagon.

Since its initial introduction to the Australian market via the grey importes and SSM vehicle builders, the Dodge Ram 2500, whilst a less popular offering and rarer sight to see, is still a formidable truck to see on road. With the locally delivered ones only being available with the Cummins engine, and then the rarer imported ones available with the 6.4L v8 petrol, there is ample choice out there for those in need of a true BIG truck.

At ECC, we specialize in providing comprehensive tuning support, engine enhancements, and exhaust modifications tailored specifically for the v8 Hemi equipped models, with basic support also available for the Cummins diesel. Our deep understanding of the Dodge/Chrysler/FCA ecosystem ensures that modifications are approached with precision and expertise, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

When modifying this platform, it is crucial to choose a workshop that is experienced with the Dodge / Chrsyler / FCA network and infrastructure, as many workshops who think they can modifyand tune these things “just like an LS” have caused more problems than solutions for most. Luckily, ECC has been at the forefront of modifications on this platform for over a decade, tuning some of the first forced induction Hemi’s in the country, and and regularly called upon to assist, fix, andtune vehicles all around the country from others that have tried and failed.

Whether you’re looking to increase power output, improve towing capabilities, enhance handling dynamics, or personalize your Ram 2500 with custom exhaust notes and aesthetic upgrades, ECC stands ready to elevate your driving experience for your Ram truck.

In summary, the Dodge Ram 1500 DS and DT models stand as icons of American automotive excellence, and are going to be a main stay on Aussie roads for the foreseeable future. As ECC continues to support Ram enthusiasts with tailored solutions and upgrades, we invite you to explore the unmatched performance and versatility of the Dodge Ram 2500 with one of Australia’s foremost experts in modifying these legendary trucks.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN MODIFYING THIS PLATFORM

  • Whilst it seems to be a bit of an industry standard, to look at modification paths for a car based on bundles of modification, commonly referred to as “stages”. We have found at ECC that this isn’t always the case, with all builds being different in their own right, and comparing “stages” is generally not a great like for like comparison when there is no regulation between what a workshop will include in said stages.

    For this reason, why have put together this basic modification and upgrade guide, which should walk you through the basics of what you need to know when modifying this platform. Specifically, the best ways to go about things and more importsntly, what NOT to do, toensure you dont make expensive or costly mistakes when commencing this journey.
