12-Memory stand by power lost, usually comes up anytime you have another code or have disconnected the battery recently
22-Coolant temp sensor circuit..., usually throws when the coolant temp sensor is faulty or is disconnected
33-a/c clutch cut out relay circuit..., same as above, often throws on truck/cars w/o a/c, don't ask it's wierd

For the products, haven't heard anything pro or con on the tablets, I personally am a skeptic and wouldn't pay to try them. For the magnetic fuel savers, haven't heard any real positve results, and for the tornado, all I've heard and seen on friends vehicles is that it's a $50-60 dollar paper weight that makes cool noises when you hit the gas.

Thank you for the explanation codydacota!.So from what you tell me. it means that from those 3 codes i only should put attention to the #22?
Hello Crazy. I dont have a problem on spendinga couple of hundredsin more reliable parts.The mopar computer says that they are not recommended for towing (what do you thing about "jet computer modules"?) I'm jest curios about what is out there, and what is mine best choice, I'm may be not looking in the right places; but i been having no look finding the parts for my application; specially onthe Larger Throttle body, body injectors, camshafts and fuel injectors (i dont know ifa performance pulley willhelp?). These is my first truck and i just will like to have it to its best.

Well the mopar comp. will give more horsepower. I have one, Im guessing they say that because it might start pinging on some hard situations while towing. Just go to a colder spark plug and that will take care of it. I tow quite a bit and no problems. Its deffintly better than if I didnt have it. The jet chips are junk too. They can screw up your pins.(thats what happend to mine) To burn up. There was a post where others have had problems with them. You can do a search for a full list of problems. For larger throttle bodys you can go to fastmans.com, or any of these for any parts. Ebay.com summitracing.com jegs.com Moparperformance.com
Some stuff will not be listed under the truck. Rams and durangos have the same engine. You can try for them. Or just do a search by engine size and make. For injectors they are all pretty much universal. Do some research and find out what flow rate stock is and go up one or two. You mentioned body injectors. Im not to sure what that is. A typo? You can get colder plugs. The platnums dont do go with our engines. Use autolights 3223 some thing like that the site below has it. You can get Msd coil and wires and cap and rotor. You can get a 180 degree thromostat. Performance pullys will help but lower your alt. power at idle as well as cooling. Becafull if you buy some. A lot out there are 6 ribs while stock is 7. There are a few small cheep stuff you can do. Like a kegging the intake, which is basicly opening up the intake on the inside. Do a search for more details. Here is a good site for tips http://www.v8performance.com/tipsandtricks.htm
One more thing you can do to get more power is change your rear end ratio. Go lower (numaricly Higher) gears. That will give you more torque, which is good if your going to tow.
Then there is the enigne stuff like cams, 1.7 rockers,flat top pistons, You can deck the heads and block, and bore out the engine.
The exhast. Get headers.Doa seach to find them. Get abetter muffler larger pipes high flow cat.
Hope all this helps.
And be best of all a turbo system OR A SUPER CHARGER. Or do an engine swap. Bad96 did a 3.9 to 5.2 and he did a great post on it.
There are tranny stuff like shift kits.
Try to stay away from anthing that adds stuff. Stick to replacing and upgrading existing parts.

I was just wondering why you say that platinum plugs dont work. I did a tune-up when i bought my truck about 4 months ago and put platinums in it and its been running fine. Do I need to take them out and replace them with a different kind?

Platinums will work but not for thebest performance. I had bosh platums +4. Just for fun I when to the others and I did fell a better reponse. For a better explation on it do a search on here for it. There are a ton of posts on spark plugs.
