Default 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport help...

I have a couple of questions...

I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport 3.9L V-6, 2WD.

I just got it not too long ago, it has almost 40,000 miles and I still have the warrenty for another 55K miles or, 55 months. I want to get some upgrades but I'm not sure what I can do without it voiding the warrenty.. I got tint, Cd deck, subs and amp, and Rhino Liner. I want low profile tires, but I think I would have to get bigger rims for that to not completely screw up my speedometer. I was wondering what is some upgrades I can do to it for kinda cheap, and some not.. Maybe some links, that would be nice.

Also, lately it has been sputtering... I am hoping that it is just water in the gas tank, so I put some Heet in it, but it still does it... So I'm going to let this tank go, and if it stops then I wont have to worry about it. What might it be if it's not the bad gas? I got it looked at and he said a my spark plug 1&3 isn't firing. [:-] I dont know what to do... Please Comment.

Thanks for all your help.

First things I would do if it isnt the gas is put a new cap and rotor in the truck, new wires, and new plugs. That will most likely fix your problem of the plugs not firing.

Well, I guess I forgot to mention that I just got a new Rotor cap, new wires, new Dist. Cap. I just had it checked on... It hasnt done it lately so.. Maybe it was the gas.. We will find out. Any other ideas if that stuff isnt it? [&o]

The injectors could be dirty, buy a bottle of seafoam and throw half of it in the gas tank.
