Default Just venting, Lil

Sorry, Lil, I was venting toward you. Guess it was the "I need to get a lawyer to help me with the ticket the stupid cop gave me for crashing into that stupid tourist" that pushed my button. I worked the graveyard shift (11p-7a) a lot when I was a deputy and saw way too many accidents where young adults lives were changed forever, or ended, because of poor decisions about speed, drinking, and so on. I promise to be less preachy in the future. BTW that what I sleep in story was way TMI!!! [sm=yikesomg.gif]

Default RE: Just venting, Lil

............. i love how these qeustions become littel personal story boards there quite ammusing. But any how if you wana go threw the trouble of swapping your 3.7 out for the big power juicey 5.9 then your first going to need the engine of cource new tranny as im sure the 3.7 has a diffrent bell housing and wont fit up right plus the 5.9 would probely over power the poor v-6 tranny and severly limit its life span then your going to need the computer for the engine control and then the engine mounts to moun it to the fram and what ever else the engine didnt come with....per say water pump, alternator,headers, fluids, ect ect. Then you need to pay some 1 with the experince and no how to do this unless you no how to do it and walla theres about 10k Personly id just bye a r/t for like 15k and get the lowered r/t performance suspsion the rims and low profile tires and all the other cool r/t addons you dont get on a reg. dakota.
