hi i have a 96 dodge ram 1500 v10 that i just bought knowing it needed some work done on it. Had both head gaskets blown, gasket for the belly pan for the intake was blown, water pump was shot. But it did have a newly redone transmission, a mopar performance computer, and an aftermarket throttle body, and headers, now im just looking for a quick mod here or there to up my power reasonably cheap, im looking to delete the fan that is atached to the water pump and rig up an electric fan, im also gonna take out the cats and get rid of the old exhaust system and put in true dual exhausts on it now if anyone has any suggestions the would be greatly appreciated .

 

Welcome to DF! Moving this to the 2nd gen Ram section.

 

Huh? Didn't think V10's had the plenum problem.....

An SCT Tuner would help, but then again you have Mopar Performance Computer, so not sure what the SCT would give you...

Check local laws before you remove the cats...

 

Also didn't think 1500's came with a V10, unless its been swapped in there at some point in time...has to be a V8 either 5.2 or 5.9

 

^^ I didn't even catch it was a 1500.....

 

I think our new member has a case of "fat fingers" when it comes to writing his posts.



Welcome to DF. We may seem harsh, but stick around and you'll become one of us.

 

yea im sorry i was in the middle of a couple of things when i was typing this its is a 5.9 v8

 

By New head castings when you replace headgaskets. Don't bother putting the crack prone stickers back on.

 

in that case the blown plenum makes sense....hell since you're gonna have it off anyway might as well put an m1 or hughes airgap on that thing hehe although neither one of those is cheap. I'd say other than the sct, some harland sharp roller rockers are the best bang for your buck...check them out http://www.summitracing.com/parts/csp-s70037

 

any tips on easy way to put in dual exhausts, and to wire up electric fans to get rid of the pulley driven one
