eh, its ok. I guess i have to wait and see. It feels dogish. It burns out so gimply. It feels slightly torquier but theres a noticable lack of performance imo. The throttle responce is greatly improved though.
this is the main benifit to the 52mm TB on a 5.9 motor... how did it lay rubber before? what other mods do you have? when I put mine on, I didnt reset the pcm and noticed more power from the get go. I never did change much after the initial drive, even after resetting the pcm.

are you sure there's a 5.9 in there? (the CID is stamped on the block above the starter) if you have a 5.2 in there for some reason you would get less than expected results.

i think you will see more of a gain from the TB after you open your exhaust and either mod and port your intake or go with the M1....

Most of the driving I do in my Ram is on an interstate at 2000rpm. I need more torque to go up hills without coming out of overdrive. Would the 52mm TBincrease thetorque at 2000rpm?

Oh its a beast now. I definately notice a diffrence, its been like 350 mi since i put it on. Crusin on the hwy doesnt take any effort, and accelerating up to speed is seamless and easy now. Burnin rubber was always easy, i havent tried it, but i did spin from like a 5mph roll when i wot'd last night.

I'd still go with the 52mm for the 360... you can control the torque with other mods.
