As for drivetrain it features and Cadillac 500ci V8, TH400 tranny, and Spicer 20 T-Case feeding power to the Dana 44 front and Sterling 10.25 rear axles.

“Blizzard of 2011” Made for some Great Video
Well we survived the so-called “Blizzard of 2011” up here in Coldwater, MI. While we did get plenty of snow and windy conditions, the results of the storm made for some nice snow wheeling. We had a new 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 in the R&D Shop for test fitment of the BDS 6” Lift Kit and couldn’t pass on the opportunity to test out the 4WD capabilities once the traction control was turned off. Check out the video and others posted on You Tube.
