I just got a 99 Dakota 3.9L. I am looking for any mileage programmers that work. I do have a 300HP srt4 for fun, so I am not looking for any go fast bits, It does have CAI and throttle spacer.

a tb spacer WILL NOT help any vehicle that is multi-port injection, on a carbeurated engine, and possibly on a throttle body injection engine, all it can do is give a little more space for the air/fuel mixture to "mix" before it gets combusted.

i rather see $40 go towards a tank of gas or $$ towards something for my truck. and that something will not be a throttle body spacer.
