Hey guys, just wanted to tell you that we had our biggest Dodge Ram meeting in all time here in Finland last weekend.

We had total of 14 Dodge Rams all over from Finland, It's a lot when considering that they never imported Rams here and every single one is illegal in stock condition.
If interested why, you can read more HERE

We rented three cabins and we spent the whole weekend there.

We had some cruising,mild off-roading and off-course a dyno day!

I think I got the second place with numbers 343.51hp/1240nm(915lb-ft) at crankshaft. It was 305hp/1180nm(870lb-ft) at wheels.
I have only TST PM3 stacked with Hypertech level 3. Without TST PM3 I got 240hp/860nm(634lb-ft) at crankshaft.

The winner was 99 2500 with Hx40 and Jammer 5 with edge comp stacked with another edge or something. He got 450hp/1650nm(1217 lb-ft) at crankshaft. Wheelpower was 411hp(can't remember the torque) with 37" swampers. I had 37" tires too.

The most interesting part was that stock well maintaced 1995 8L V-10 2wd got only 265hp/560nm(413lb-ft) at crankshaft! He had perfect working automatic with turbine lock on.

Here's few links to the pictures. We had a really great time there and the local s were shocked, you really don't see this kind of queue everyday here!

I was rescueing people with my pretty high Dodge. And off-course just having fun. I know, it's just so wrong to have a big lifted truck in here, they are so dangerous.

 

Looks like a great time thanks for the cool pics and videos

 

That looks like fun, nice little convoy you had there

 

Yeah thanks guys. It was fun!

I think we are going to have same meeting in next year too, so you can take part there too if you like.

Just drive through Alaska and Russia and you're here.

 

Alaska, Russia. IM there dude!!! j/k Look like a great time man. Thanks for the pictures and videos. That was a pretty sweet black single cab. Is it emissions that make them illegal or what?

 

Black single cab? Where did you saw that one?

I posted a link to my topic where I tried to tell why us vehicles are illegal here.

You can read it here:

Oooops got to typing to fast, I meant the maroon/grey single cab with the black truck in the video.

 

Oh yeah. You mean that video were I was climbing the sand hill at the same time on the background?

 

Great Pictures, Just a chance I might get over to you if you had this meet again next year, not quite so far to come from UK. We have a great show here in England, called Americana International, and held at Newark in Nottinghamshire,
http://www.americana-international.co.uk quite a few Rams get there, but in fairness most are gas/petrol with I guess about 8 diesels.
Best Regards.

 

All ya gotta do now is start a chapter.
That will be cool with the first European DTR chapter!

 

We had our "annual" meeting again in Kalajoki on last august.

Here's a small video that I made.

Total of 18 cummins powered trucks showed up there, we spent the whole weekend (8-10 of August) there in our rent cabins, what a great weekend, really, this meeting is truly the best thing in my year! Haha.

Questions and comments are appreciated as always

 

Thats awesome, Im sure 18 Cummins all hanging out had to be a sight to see over there.

 

Oh yes it is and was.

Plus, when we arrived in our meeting area, the abc station near by, we came in about 12 cummins dodge convoy there.

When we shut down our trucks a one guy came to us and said proudly "Now it seems that you are the guys who can help us! My U.S imported motorhome(very rare in Finland!) just shut down and won't start. It has 5.9 12v cummins on it."

Hahaha. That guy had a luck like an lottery winner. 3 minutes and that motorhome was running again. Shut down solenoid was wasted.

How often do you see 12 cummins Rams in a station at once when your cummins powered motorhome has quit working?

 

Great post and a bunch of good looking trucks!

 

Thanks! We are now considering a winter meeting as well. Let see what happens...

At least I'll keep you guys posted!
