Ram’s Rumble Bee trucks are already getting rowdier, even before you can buy one. The company has wasted no time expanding its Mopar Direct Connection catalog to support the upcoming Ram 1500 lineup. This includes the base 5.7-liter model, the 6.4-liter 392 variant, and the SRT version. While deliveries are set to begin at the end of the year, performance parts are already available for order.
The centerpiece of the availability list is a supercharger kit designed for every vehicle. The unit utilizes a 3.0-liter twin-screw blower core.
Regardless of the engine configuration, the setup aims to maximize output. Ram estimates the new blower will boost the 5.7-liter trucks to roughly 600 horsepower.
The 6.4-liter models should exceed 700 hp. For the SRT model, which houses a 6.2-liter Hellcat engine, the standard 2.4-liter supercharger is swapped for the larger unit.
This change is expected to push output above 900 hp. The MSRP for the complete blower kit sits at $10,995.

Supercharger Kits and Warranty
If a customer utilizes an ASE-certified Mopar technician for the installation, Direct Connection will honor the truck’s original five-year/60,000-mile warranty. This coverage extends to the factory powertrain and drivetrain components. The kit also includes bespoke badging. The supercharger logos are color-specific to match the powertrain of the vehicle.
Performance parts arriving before sales begin is significant. In previous decades, performance catalogs often lagged behind vehicle launches, leaving buyers to purchase aftermarket parts immediately upon ownership, which sometimes complicated warranty claims or fitment issues. By pairing the hardware with a warranty guarantee before the vehicle is even sold, Ram is attempting to solve the common friction point between factory coverage and enthusiast modification. The move implies deep integration with the tuning community and confidence in the durability of its hardware.
Suspension and Exhaust Options
Beyond forced induction, a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system is offered. This is a full stainless-steel setup that includes an X-pipe and a 5-inch exhaust tip.
Direct Connection branding appears on the tip. The exhaust is available as part of the blower kit or as a standalone upgrade.
Pricing for the exhaust varies by model. The 5.7-liter trucks are priced at $1,599. The 392s cost $2,299, and the SRT model is $2,399.

A suspension package is available for the coil-sprung Rumble Bee and Rumble Bee 392 variants. It features Ridetech hardware, including HQ-series coilovers with 24-way adjustable damping and high-tensile steel springs.
The front geometry utilizes tubular control arms to maintain the factory structure. The goal of this setup is a 1-inch drop in the front and a 3-inch drop in the rear.
Ram states this reduction should improve performance in the corners. The package is priced at $4,590 before installation, backed by a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty.
Parts are slated to arrive alongside the vehicles.
The Rumble Bee is scheduled for late 2026. The Rumble Bee 392 and SRT models follow in the first half of 2027. This window allows customers ample time to contact their local ASE-certified technician to finalize their build plans.
