Bought a new fan clutch for the old girl, should be here on wed. Im running 70 psi in my tires front and back, but then again i have 10 plys. It not only helps the tire last longer but helps ever so slightly with gas mileage.

dropped it off at the local dodge dealer to get the tranny fluid/filter replaced and the bands adjusted. Im also getting the recall on the trailer hitch part taken care of since its there.
Uhh, yeah. Did I state otherwise? lol
I think rockers might actually be easier to install as you don't have to re-do half the exhaust system. lmao
Hey, you said in another thread that you're running 36 psi in your tires. If they can support the higher pressure, run 45 in the front and 40 in the back. It makes a huge difference in the way my rig behaves on the street.

I run 36 psi so my mud tires wear evenly though. If I run higher, my tires will only wear in the middle then.

The canned tunes will work fine, but the rockers are just like using a mild cam,. Therefore your valves are staying open longer which means you can run a more aggressive tune and really take advantage of the longer duration.
Yeah that may be the case with mud tires.

But wouldn't headers and rockers be pretty much under the bolt on upgrade category?
I know rockers aren't the easiest things to install but still. I might have to get a custom tune if it would help. Horsepower adds up.
I need a few extra ponies to pull them 33s since I still have stock gearing...

Finally did something on my RAM today!
Installed light in cup holder, and cranked it up. Has not been started in probably 5 or 6 weeks. Busted right off!
Thanks, Zman!

I got the truck on thursday and since then i have given it a total tune up and changed out the ball joints and welded the rear shock bracket that was shattered and not connected, i have shown the truck and some of the repairs

I let my Daughter drive my truck tonight. lol She was scared by the size of it, rolled it into the ditch (did not hurt it). I put it in 4 low and drove right out. She was really shook up but, I made her drive it home. She made it without issue after that.
