Default Update on my truck

Well for those who dont knowI took the time to cut my own runners down about 1 1/2 maybe 2 inches and smoothed them out. I put my truck back together and it ran really rough like it was surging back and forth at mild acceleration around 25 to 35 mph. I looked it over and saw there was a coolant leak so i was like F*** it. I took it to the shop. They said i left 2 things unplugged and i didnt tighten down my thermostat housing bolts tight enough (hence the coolant leak) So i was like cool. Easy fix. Well he test drove it about 7 miles and then he said my truck just shut down out of nowhere. When he stopped he said he turned the key over and nothing.... All there telling me is its either a fuel delivery (injectors) problem or electrical. But if anyone has any ideas please share cause im worried i screwed up my truck..... [&:]

BTW cops are *********. i got pulled over in my dads mustang doing 6mph over. So he wrote me up a $94 dollar ticket. Then writes at the bottom comments 60 ina 35 (Racing) so i would get in even more trouble. But he made a bad move and called my dad and told him 53 in a 35.. So it didnt add up. But i still cant believe he wrote me up doin 6 over. Its just a waste of my time and money... Ahg im not gonna bitch anymore. Thnx guyz!

Don't know about the truck, but, your math isn't adding up. Or I'm missing something. How does 53 or 60 in a 35 zone = 6 mph over the limit? OK, I only went to public school but still!?

Summitracing.com i believe. They were pretty cheap and it made a little noticable gain. For under 150 bucks i think it was well worth it.....

Thanks.Do you have thepart number by any chance? If not, i'll just look for them online. I also have a98 ram, but mine's a sport. So i'm sure they'll fit.

Well I just looked on the summit racing website and it doesnt have the pacesetter headers for 149.95 anymore it just shows the summit headers for that price but i sure it would work just as fine.
Part number is - SUM-G9045
And Flowtech is - BIG-91945FLT

Thanks. That's one cool truck by the way. I plan on doing those stripes on mine too but in white (my truck is red), and putting those head lights you have, but in chrome.
