I use the truck plug and like them(you will see a lot of opinions on this). As far as the cap goes get brass and buy a quality set of wires, a lot of peeps here go with 8mm but a good quality set of 7's will be fine, and do a search for the TSB regarding the routing of them. Don't forget pcv valve , air cleaner and oil change. Also check your plenum gasket while you change the AF.

Guess i need to change my sig. i no longer have my 01 silver ram,traded it in along with the wifes 02 town and country for a 05 durango limited 5.7 hemi.I also plan a 3-5 inch lift,new tires and rims and gears>the first thing i did when i got it home was put a flowmaster 40 on it,I had it laying around,cause i swithched it out to super 44 on my old ram
