and about the trackbar, how do you know when they're toast? I just greased and checked mine yesterday. It seems good and tight, but my buddy with an 01 2500 replaced his a few months ago and he was also told that they go bad about once a year.... I haven't changed mine since I've had it, and god knows if it's EVER been changed
I would say no go on the red ones. The factory face as a green filter on it and white bulbs. Could always try it and see how it looks, my lights were under $10 for the 194s.

hard to understand, but unfortunately it sounds like your fuel pump is the culprit, as it should maintain a steady 30+psi throughout the entire rpm range.

its not hard to do, check the DIY section, and make sure you have less than an 1/8 of a tank of gas otherwise its a P.I.T.A to do.

though the almighty chrysler gods made the filter, pump, and sending unit all one piece, and it doesnt come cheap. ~$240.00USD

the reason it runs like crap when hot could be because when an electrical motor is cold it has less resistance to electricity, the warmer it get the more resistance it has, thus a weak pump will have trouble keeping up the fuel pressure causing your vehicle to surge/stumble and miss as well.

hope this helps some.

I made a sacrifice to these "all mighty chrysler gods" today. $80 for a tank of 93 oct. Runs good but when will they smite me once more?
