Mopar® Magazine dedicates the cover story of the May/June issue to the Mopar Nation. What does it mean to be a Mopar enthusiast? It isn’t just about the cars. It’s about what you do with the cars—and it’s all about the people you meet while doing it. Mopar enthusiasm takes place at car club meetings and events, at car shows, cruises, drag races, circle track races, anyplace you can run a car and share the passion with other Mopar enthusiasts.
We’ll give you a feel for the Mopar way of life beginning on page 10, with a collage of photography depicting different facets of life in the Mopar Nation. We’ll show you where to find Mopar clubs, Web sites, magazines, auctions and much more.
In this issue, we’ll take the wraps off of a “new crew” of commercial grade work trucks: the 2010 Dodge Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs. Led by an all-new crew cab, this line of trucks is built on a proven chassis and engineered for maximum uptime, optimum performance and enhanced commercial capability.
On the competition front, it’s “Time to Shine” with exclusive coverage of J&J Racing and Bobby Martin. Be sure to read all about Mopar’s 2009 Drag Racing Contingency Program for grassroots racers on page 35.
Turning to performance parts, our own Tech Insider, Larry Shepard, discusses Mopar high-performance cylinder heads for several Chrysler engine families. As usual he lets you know his insights about what works best with certain high-performance product applications and any additional parts that may be needed.
