Drove the Ram to The Old Coupland Dance Hall last night. Wife and I went to see the Belamy Brothers. We haven't been out like that since her dad came to live with us in June 2008. (Coupland population 308)

Had a number of people stopping to look at it on their way in and out. That was fine, except the WILCO SO car sitting next to it as we were getting ready to leave...How many beers did I drink?????

Just tuned my truck with that SCT Tuner I received for my 18th birthday on well April 18th! I noticed a huge difference! All I need now are a new set of tires, new lower ball joints, a new head gasket because it's starting to leak a little bit of coolant.

I think I'll replace the plenum, replace the intake manifold with a Hughes F1 model, and some Harland Sharp 1.7 RR's!! I just changed the water pump too.

Don't forget you probably need new cat and O2 sensor from plenum failure.

The o2 sensor's just fine, I've changed it twice. Haha and even though I have true dual exhaust, the cat on the driver side blew out because it wasn't high flow haha occasionally I would drive and I would hear rattling, then it would stop and a piece of it would fly out!

did the plenum gasket yesterday only to find out that the manifold might be cracked. it squirts out coolant like a geyser. the car gods give me the worst luck...

found my "driveline" vibration issue yesterday. it isnt driveline related at all. the driver side LT is hitting the frame rail under torque. time for some solid motor mounts, or at least poly(energy suspension).

Pulled my muffler off for no reason other than to sound obnoxious while driving back and forth to class The loudness also hides the horrendous grinding noise the truck has coming from who knows where. Muffler is pretty rusty, might look into getting a stainless magnaflow. Probably one that's a bit quieter than my current super 44.

And I finally found a new job(s) at a temp agency so hopefully after paying a few bills and such I can get another intake manifold, preferably one that doesn't eat oil. Not sure if I should get a used replacement for <$100 or an M1 for $500+
