This stuff is great. A little messy, but I prepped the area good enough that it was a not a problem.

Yup. I disconnected the battery terminal. I got in the habit of doing that with the Durango.

Time to do the front end on this. Ended up picking up these items this weekend as a package deal due to the guy selling his truck before the install:

2 Upper A Frames With upper ball joints Duralast
2 Lower ball joints Moogs
2 Outer tie rods Moogs
2 Polyurethane bushings Moogs for swaybar
Leveling Kit puck style
Set of extended shocks Pro Comps

This set will raise the front end almost level with the rear. I'll need to get a set of rear shocks and inner tie rods before I start. Anyone see other missing items??

Well, I haven't installed any of the other goodies yet, but I did pick up a used SC 3815. I'll plug it in after work and see how the truck responds. Anyone else have one of these for their 03?

I have a 3865, it is noticeable on the 91 setting.

Thanks. What are your settings for the rev limiter and shift points?

Stock, there is no trans control for the 03. You can change the shift points, but you have to shift manually to take advantage of it. If you leave it in D it will use the stock shift points (5700 rpm).

I wasn't able to change shift points. I saw a vid on utube and it showed that option, but mine only had the mph, rev limiter and tire size. I measured the tire and with my stock 20's, it's 31". I maxed out the mph and rev limiter.


I updated the tuner too, so I should have the latest software. It's been raining past 2 days, so haven't been able to tell anything.

Be careful with the speed limiter, granted it would take some time and distance to get up to those speeds, but be mindful of the speed rating on your tires. The reason the 105 governor is on there is because the OEM tires (at least mine) were only rated to 112mph.
