Do it! I guarantee a 50hp gain, atleast! lol.

Thanks for the positive comments, guys. I woke up this morning and just hand the overwhelming urge to paint a stripe on something. The dog wouldn't hold still long enough for a stripe, so I went with the Ram.

Did the zip-tie-throttle-cable-mod Friday.
Damn, it gave it a lot of response back with only one tie.


Which is where I am going to leave it.

Stripe looks good.....even though it isn't blue!

Saving money on tape is not really saving money. For a good clean edge, the green 3M automotive masking tape is worth the cost. It will give a good clean edge. Even the tan masking tape (3M) for automotive is different and therefore better for painting as it does not leave the residue that plain masking tape may leave. I discovered this in the begiinnig stages of my paint work on my Ram.

I used the lime green tape for my paint job I did about a month ago, and it came out nice and clean.

Got the parts back today. Finished installing the bumper, re-installed the tailgate and rear flares. Had the body shop paint match the bumper and fix the tailgate and flares. Everything looks great, but the bumper has a bend to it we couldn't fix. It came that way and the only way to fix it would have been to cut it back apart and re-weld it.
