hey guys im new to forum and to dodge lol (raised ford family) I have a 96 dodge 1500 5.2 4x4 auto I purchased the truck knowing it had trans problems so its in the shop being rebuilt right now I went ahead and had the trans go jr kit installed what should be my next step my trucks see a lot of pulling and mud from farming. I was think cold air or maybe a cat back any input would help thanks guys have a great day. Oh and i forgot the truck is all stock to my knowledge.

 

I'd say get your plenum fixed first, forget the CAI and just get a drop in filter, either cut your cat off if emissions allow(if not get a highflow), and if the wallet goes that far I'd say a SCT tuner. That's my input. BTW the search button will help you find out more

 

yeah thanks for the input. Im on duty tonight so I will have time to search the forum better .

 

Trans go kit is a good idea, but make sure they installa BW gove solenoid instead of reusing the original. The BW is better than OEM.

 

ok thanks im planing on doing alot to this truck lol its paid for and we had to buy a new tractor this year its going to be a long road but in my mind there the best looking trucks on the road

 

Check the sticky on the plenum to make sure it is good. Also you can download the service and parts manuals in the FAQ/DIY section here. It will come in handy.

 

man o man i about forgot yes its a cut & past sorry. __________________
after you clean the trans. add this to your*chrysler*trans. an external fluid filter
1. go to auto-zone. get 2210, its called a power steering filter, but it is for transs to. it is for 3/8 tubing. by (magna-fine) be sure to use high pressure hose. Reff:http://www.magnafilter.com.au/magna-fine.html*
2. for other sizes wix 58964 5/16 tube size reff:http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlook...sionfilter.asp
3. most chrysler trans are 3/8 tubing. but check yours

 

Transfer Case saver. Plenum. Tune-up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor) if you don't know that it was done recently. Full fluid flush and replacement everywhere. Check brakes and front end/steering components. After all that is taken care of....

3" single exhaust with high flow or no cat. DIY E-fans. DIY Throttle body mod. Don't bother with a cold air intake, just make sure you have a good filter, maybe a cloth drop in. Double roller timing chain. SCT tuner. That's the (relatively) cheap stuff.

Gears if you want any tires bigger than about a 31".

 

,,,,,,broken links....

 

Ok thanks everybody for the input. The truck should be done the first of the week so as soon as I get it back im going to do the tune up while im at the parts house i will grab a good drop in.
