Video summary
The video showcases an impressive feat of automotive engineering featuring a 2015 lifted RAM truck that defies conventional wisdom about power limits. Despite initial skepticism regarding the durability of a 65-RFE transmission under extreme stress, this vehicle successfully generates a staggering 922 wheel horsepower and 848 foot-pounds of torque while maintaining stock engine displacement. The build is meticulously crafted with high-quality components, including forged internals and an FRP Flying Ryan Tomahawk camshaft, all housed within the reliable 5.7-liter V8 motor that serves as the foundation for this powerhouse.
Beyond the engine bay, the truck features a custom remote mount turbo setup designed and assembled by the builder himself, ensuring every part works in perfect harmony to produce its signature sounds and performance. The powertrain is fueled by E85 ethanol, often referred to as "pimp juice," which allows the engine to breathe freely and deliver maximum output through a professionally built transmission with assistance from Burn Auto and Performance in Las Vegas. This combination of stock displacement and massive forced induction results in a vehicle that is not only fast but also represents the true definition of being custom-built rather than simply purchased.
The sheer acceleration and speed of this lifted RAM are so significant that the narrator claims it could easily make a modern TRX look like "Little Foot," a reference to the slow-moving character from the movie *Kung Fu Panda*. The driver's enthusiasm is palpable as he describes how the truck blows his mind every time he gets behind the wheel, noting that he rarely needs to downshift because the power delivery is so overwhelming. The build successfully merges aggressive aesthetics with raw mechanical capability, creating a machine that sounds incredible and performs beyond expectations.
Ultimately, this project stands as a testament to what can be achieved through dedication and custom fabrication in the world of diesel and gasoline truck modification. The builder's humor and passion shine through in the presentation, highlighting a vehicle that is both a functional daily driver and a serious performance monster. For enthusiasts looking for inspiration, the video serves as a celebration of home-built power, proving that with the right parts and expertise, even older platforms can be transformed into legends on the road.

They said a 65-RFE transmission
wouldn't hold power.
>> [laughter]
>> You know what I said?
I'm your huckleberry.
Not me, not today.
Holy crap. That's it for me, going home.
Poop my pants again, that's great.
>> Oh, Billy.

>> My dude built a 2015
lifted RAM truck making 922
wheel horsepower
and 848
foot-pounds of torque through an RFE
transmission. That is ridonkulous.
And he did it with stock displacement.
Yes, this is still a 57345
with all the good stuff stuffed inside
that motor. We got forged internals and
an FRP Flying Ryan Tomahawk camshaft,
and we all know that dude works.
Along with that nasty looking highly
high ram, this motor looks sweet. And
let's not forget about the fuel system.
This thing's running on that good old
pimp juice E85.
Oh, yeah, we got the pimp juice in this
truck. And all this masculine power's
going through a built 65 RFE
with the good help of Burn Auto and
Performance out of Las Vegas help Joey
put this truck together and make 922
wheel horsepower. Get some. On top of
all this cool stuff,
Joey himself built the remote mount
turbo setup that is on this truck. He
put it together. He made it work. And
boy, let me tell you right now, it makes
all the good sounds that your first
girlfriend made. You know what I mean,
fellas?
Dude, this truck is stupid fast. And it
is the true definition of built, not
bought.
And I'm going to go ahead and say it,
this truck would slap smoke a TRX and
turn it into Little Foot. What more can
you ask for? You got a lifted truck that
goes fast. It makes all the cool sounds.
And it was built.
So, go check out my dude. His link to
his channels and all of his stuff is in
the video description below.
Go give him a follow. He's a straight-up
dude and he's funny as hell.
Until next time,
check out the footage.
>> Wow.
Gosh, dude.
It blows my gourd every time I drive it.
Watch. Watch. I don't even downshift
like other 6-speed dudes.
Woo!
>> Jesus Christ.
>> Why, Johnny Ringo.
You look like somebody just walked over
your grave.
