I understand the 4.7L club, but what is the 'peg leg' club?

Haha, oh yeah, that.....

That started as a joke in the 3rd Gen section between another member and I. We were talking about how much we hate our One-Tire-Fire open diffs, haha. We were talking about making a club, and someone else suggested that name, so I threw it in the sig. Not really a club, since Im sure Im the only member, lol. Just something stupid/funny

BTW.... is that mod list for your 'Rango?!?! If so, thats bada$$!! Do you have the 'awd', or..... Id love to see some video/soundclips of that thing in action!! I really wanna do some mods to the 'Rango, I know it'll be more beneficial than modding my 4-7, but I just don't know how well this awd drivetrain will hold up..... (secretly, I wanna spray it a little, but its the wifes ride, so I better leave that be )

I lost to a 4.7 5spd DAK (QC) every single race at the track last year. Always got a tenth or two on me, that was quite depressing, lol......

Yes, Those are most of my modifications as well as a 90mm throttle body. I am installing a ATI Procharger in the spring once I can drive one of my other Dodges and the snow clears. It is AWD with the 4lock, 4low option,

Man, thats really cool dude. I would love to see that setup. Ive only seen one other s/c setup, he was running 4.56's......low 13's I think. Didnt get to see pics, just posts on Dragtimes. Im interested in seeing how you're gonna stuff that Procharger under that hood, mighty tight in there. Do you have any plans on beefing up the drivetrain? Like I said, thats my main concern. With the AWD setups anyways (I have the same as yours)...

OT, but...... Do you have any special advice on the plug changes in these things? I know the Hemis in the Rams are tight, but nothing like these D's. I know it needs it something fierce, 70k miles. Im not the original owner, but I doubt the truck has been properly maintained I believe simple things, starting with a tuneup, would make it a stronger running truck, stronger than a 10.44 @ 68mph (1/8)

Sorry to barage you with all these questions about random topics, I just don't make it in the D section too often, as the few times I have, there was little-to-no activity in there. I just reference my Hemi ?'s to the 3rd Gen Rammers, but advice on the D's is greatly appreciated partner!!

I would use Champion copper or iridium sparkplugs. I use iridium and have not had a problem with them,

FF- I preciate that, but I knew what plugs to go with, just didn't know if you knew any hat-tricks to make the job easier...? I have plenty of extensions/adapters/swivels/plug sockets, as I've had to work on some PITA's before, just trying to get some experienced input on these D's,

Thanks again FF

The last ones in the back are hard to reach on the Hemi, not sure about the 4.7l though,
