i am new to the forum and just wanted to thank those who have helped me. i have a 2000 dakota 2wd 3.9 5 speed slt reg cab. with 130,000 the truck is loaded tow pak and all that. i have owned the truck since it was new its been great with hardly any problem. just paid it off and am in the process of upgrading somethings so far i have done cap,plugs,muffler,180 thermostat,cai and plug wires.

i also own a 17 ft bass boat that i tow with the truck and last year on a long trip i noticed some power issues going up hill on the interstates and it was a rough ride at those high speed the roads are through the hills of KY and the drive was kinda rough. i plan on going on another trip this year and with the power issue i think partly dealt with i want to get some opinions in what way i should go with the truck. the clutch and ball joints seem fine still. would adjustable shocks be a benifit? i am open to suggestionesthanks

 

handheld tuners can help a ton with towing. I would look into them. Some other guys on here have them and maybe they can chime in here...

 

superchips tuner defiantly helped my v6, i love the damn thing.

 

power loss? maybe its cuz you have a V6 haha j/k yeah maybe exhaust and tuner would help... that and V8 tb

 

yeah its only at higher speed 65 mph++ that i have any trouble.. what about the clutch and ball joints should i worry about those before i make the trip??

 

No,.. The clutch is not slipping, don't worry about it.
If you don't know how to check your ball-joints out to
see if they are in need of replacement, take it to a mechanic
to have the entire front-end gone over. Free up the exhaust,..
Free-up the intake of air,.. Get a chip for the truck also.
You'll be fine on your road-trip.

 

i have a v8 but i also love my superchips...im really thinking of selling it though so i can get a snowboard but i'm setting the price high so that i dont have to get rid of it lol and if someone is willing to pay it then it will be worth getting rid of...

 

i would take it off your hands but for that much money i would get the 3815 instead.

 

u also pretty much stole it from ebay toobanana.gif
