RE: To many miles?
Oh, not everything is finished yet, I can tell you that I had high flow cat and when I went to Catless it improved greatly, Ya, JBA and Gibson sell headers for around 380 online... sucks but on Ebay they sell high flow headers for 200.. but for V8 only... OH man the Glass packs sound awesome! I like em so much I had them put on with my straight pipes, they make it sound like its not a V6, even with the Cat and stock headers. Now with straight pipes, TB, headers, it sounds so freaking nice, its so loud and intense sounding, its really nice, i'll tell you everything about it once everything is done
I don't know about Camshafts... Did you find some? prices? cause im looking for some right now

RE: To many miles?
Man I was thinking about going True Duals. But my truck is loud now. And all the racing i do i dont wanna attract attention. See my problem with going catless is i dont have a welder. So i have to take it to someone and everyone around here doesnt wanna touch and exhaust if it doesnt have a cat. Idk why b/c i dont have to have emissions. O yea man my exhaust sounds wounderful I hardly drive w/ my radio on. When i let off the gas it has that bubbling sound like on a mustang. Wow i love it i turn heads ever where i go. No ive bin looking for cam-shafts but it hasnt really bin the top of my research at this moment. Im saving to get the Fastman t/b and headers after that im going with the cams. I was looking at like the average price for cams for cars and it was around 200-350. Ill go talk to my auto tech teacher about the cams and see if he can find me some.. B/c he gets discounts on all his stuff..Send me some vids of ur accel so i can compare with me now

lol vids of me acceling? i'll try...I like the Catless sound better, sounds like a monster..lol the first shop I called in town was like bring it and i'll do catless true dual exhaust.
FastMan TB? what MM? Dont get it, get the TB off of a Dodge Dakota/Durango 360 V8! its 50MM, and junk yards have them for like 50-200$$
Ya, im seaching hard for a shop that sells them for the prices that I see on V8 headers on EbayMotors. i mean 380 bucks when V8 headers r 200?? man there hasta be somone out there sellin em for around that price....... lol man the 360V8 TB sounds so nice, improved accel.
But DEFF use the Sea Foam soon to see if it helps
oh an dont look at other cars parts prices to compare with the dakota.. cause the V6 wasn't as popular and harder to find parts, so parts are worth more $$... too bad the prices arent like civic performance parts prices

What is our engine code? http://www.thefastman.com/Throttlebodies5x.asp their is the link for the T/B thinking about going with the 53mm but o yea ive most deff thought about getting one out of a junkyard. Im going to call tomm to find 1. I was trying to find like pacessetter headers but they only make em for the v-8's. or atleast thats all ive seen b/c those are like 250 bucks. Yea i was going to go get seafoam maybe this weekend and fix some of my problems hopefully

RE: To many miles?
Wanted to thank you for the info on the sea form. I have never heard of it and will be looking into it. I baby my truck because she gots 133 on her and want her to last me a other couple years. With some luck I can get 300.000 out of her. I change the oil every 3000 miles and change the trans every 3rd oil change.
ORIGINAL: DakotaSport
hmm, go to Auto zone or O' Rielys and buy "Sea foam" or somthing like that, buy a couple or three, 1 bottle you suck thrue your Vacumn hose, let run for a min once sucked thrue, then sit for how long the bottle tells you, 2nd, the instructions tell you how to, just put it in your oil, you know, the big oil cap on the right side when your looking at the engine from the front, for the 3rd bottle, put in your gas tank
now for number one, you need a partner to give the truck gas when sucking in the sea fome, so it dousn't die. I did it to my truck and idleled better, for number 1 after you wait a 5-10 minutes startup and give it gas till all the smoke from exhaust comes out
I'm going to do that to my truck soon again too once all this high flow stuff is on my truck, right now I have 2.5" exhaust to Glasspacks and cold air, im putting headers and True dual catless straight piping on it this or next week.
well, if the sea foam dousn't work u just needa have it checked, it could be your fuel pump
ya, we should keep n touch

Ya, 133K? Sea Foam just cleares up the engine, BTW if you run it thrue the vacumn hose and after u let it sit then start it up, depending on how much combustion is in your engine it will create a cloud of smoke(Thats the bad stuff that the sea foam eats up). And I think here its like 5 bucks a can.
DUDE! a 53mm?? thats crazy man, I think thats too big, lol you'd hafta need chargers and some internal work. But, for 250$ ima look into that... lol our MPG would go down big time... But that might suck in to much air and gas for the engine. I think ima stick with a used 5.9 TB. I'm gunna call around today to find one too
