Also magic just realized your in minneapolis minnesota as well!!! Maybe we live close to each other? I'm in North East minneapolis. Blaine now just up highway 65!

 

With you being 18 and making minimum wage isn't any better than me making 40k a year while owing a home mortage and supporting a wife and 2 kids. If you really want something, you have to save up and plan for it. So if you really want to transform your ride, start planning ahead of time and save up every penny you have. Once you get your candy, you will be really really satisfied and glad that all that work and sweat to save up was worth it!

I am just really happy I paid off my Durango after a 5 year loan. I just hope wifey will approve for my big candy upgrade for my Durango!

 

Changing exhaust is re-directing the Torque and HP curves and it does add both, but at a moderate level. Mainly a complete different curve that's adds the power you feel and mileage that can be obtained it you keep your foot out of it maybe .5 mpg

 

I understand about being just out of school. Since you are in Minnesota, check out FASTMAN he is in Minneapolis area and will take care of you. Check out his site, see what he has.

Again the cheapest mods are starting with the basics. spark plugs....NOT PLATINUM, new air filter, tune up etc...

I'll keep that in mind and start saving some money from now on! Hopefully i will be happy with the upgrades!

I'll look him now since i'm already on the comp. Also yeah i'm plannin on changin my platinum bosch plugs out this weekend which is ending today lol so probably tonight i will. And the tuner I'm gonna save up for it lol

It sucks because before i do ANY of those mods i need to get new tires and a new fuel pump first. Those are both pricey things to do you know? the fuel pump wil lcost around 500 bucks and the tires are atleast 700 bucks if i go with a cheaper nice regular tire.

 

YEP, Thats the way it goes, you got to get the functional stuff first. I havent had the fuel pump go yet, but in 2007 my tires cost about $500 for Michelin X-rads

Just remember, certain areas of the vehicle you don't want to skimp on and ires are one of them. Make sure you get a 4 wheel alignment after the tires to get a good baseline of tire wear. I am not sure of your finances but check the web for tires, also Sunday paper. there should be sales today.

DO NOT GO TO PEPBOYS!!!

 

Well my truck only had about 72,000 miles on it when my fuel pump started giving me problems. I have low pressure is all. So i just need to cycle it a few times then it starts right up. As for the tires i spent about 776 dollars on goodyear fortera' silent armor. They gave me about 25000 miles and may see another 5000. They were warrentied at 70,000 so i'm 40,000 short. Since the truck was my moms at the time no one had it seviced for tire rotations and allignments. I figure that hurt it. But not 40,000 miles worth!

Well hopefully if i am lucky i will get some money back for the tire. At leas thtats what discount tire told me. They said 8 times out of 10 goodyear will refund a partial amount of money. so i may get back 350-400 bucks if i'm lucky!!!

I've never been to pepboys. So i probably wont sart now!
