You're better off getting an SCT tuner anyway if you want a programmer. They work on 96 and up trucks, and they're better than superchips. So give it some thought.

 

ya I'll have to think about that.

 

step bars.
check out nasta brand. all stainless, no chrome to rust.

I dont think superchips works for my truck 1998+ I think.
you are correct. hypertech does have a '97 product.
beware SCT is very expensive.
hypertech and superchips are a very mild timing improvement designed for pure stock engines. if you can buy it cheap, you can always sell it later.

death flash?
look on the pcm, passenger side firewall, for any stickers that say 'authorized software update'.

I was thinking of doing the 14x3 round.
its sort of noisy.

 

Not if you use a dremel and a set of files to make the top of the TB flat. Doing this cuts down on the sucking noise a lot.

 

thanks for the link.

you have to use the dremel on the stock tb but isn't the fastman flat?


Just a question is there a gasket between the stock air box and the stock tb?

 

Yes, there should be one and without it your truck will be noisy and your air filter is almost useless. FYI:You also need one whether your truck is stock or not.
In the parts business we called it the forgotten gasket. :0

 

death flash is what dodge did to try to fix the dreaded plenum leak, by doing so they lower the air/fuel ratio which kills mpg and performance. by getting a tuner it cures the flash and you get even more power. its a day and night diffrence

i bet the 5.2 with the death flash runs like a dog , wake that bitch up hehe

sct is good if your going to do lots of motor work , superchips and hypertech is good for bolt ons and minor stuff.

 

Guess I gotta one of those gaskets.

I just checked and I dont have the death flash.

 

You do. Look at my pics. It will lead the way.

 

mine only has the sticker with the model # and a barcode.
