hey guys im looking to drop sum cash into my truck, well because i finally have sum, and was wondering what would be the best bang for my buck. i know headers dont add much power but better sound, but is it worth $450?? Ive heard good thing about programmers and just wanted sum advice on what i should do, and if anyone has a 5.9 throttle body they wana sell me thatd be nice too

thanks

so do you have a 3.9, 4.7, or 5.9? That might help a lil and depending one which engine i'd say superchips.

 

lol sorry bud, i hav the 3.slow and yea i think im going with the programmer but idk any input would be appreciated

 

superchips

 

My old Dak had the 3.9 but it was too old to take advantage of the plug-n-play tuners.....it was a '95 model. But the Superchips does include the 3.9 in its list of engines that it will program. If you are going to go with the tuner I would recomend the Superchips model 3815. It's a flashpaq and it's internet updatable. Like TheePlaymaker and magnethead said.....Superchips is the way to go as far as a Dak is concerned. Also from what have read...the V-8 TB on the 3.9 does help.

 

yea im probably gettin that before headers, im having a hard time finding a 5.2/5.9 throttle body though mostly cuz all the junkyards around here have 4.7s motors in them, i just dont know if i need to grind the intake to match the bigger opening, i would imagine that i would have to get the full effect of the bigger tb

 

4.7 is a COMPLETELY different deisgn. 1 68mm blade versus 2 48-50mm blades....

 

yea i know those wont work, im looking, and i just read the thread that rtdakota2001 posted about grinding it down and boreing it out i think im guna try that too whenever i find one cuz he said he got a big boost in throttle response on his 5.9 so the 3.9 should get an even bigger boost, hopefully

 

you need the V8 throttle cable FYI.

I'll probably do a complete step-by-step + pictures + FAQ when i do mine, since we seriously need one for a sticky.

 

sweet, now if i could just find one....
