5ft long arms would be nice!
I installed HS 1.7 RR this weekend and having 5ft long arms would have made the job alot easier. 
6ft long arms would be nice to change the dist cap.
Working on valve covers, spark plugs, dist cap and basically anything on top of the engine was just plain easy on my Dakota and now on my Durango.
Tip: I found it was easier to reach the back of the engine by jacking up the rear of the truck so the rear wheels were about 1ft off the ground. This lowered the front so I could do most of the work without standing on my toolbox.

I post valuable, never before seen info on dodgeforum about the upper accumulator piston spring and got no replies. 
Now I post about 5ft long arms and get instant replies. It's interesting that some threads get good mileage and others die instantly. I'm not complaining and don't take this too seriously. just an observation.
1.7 RR? Well,.....uh.....I'm not jumping to a conclusion yet, because I've only driven it one time. And yea I know I have to let the PCM relearn and yes I disconnected the battery to reset it but....
at this point it was a waste of time and money.
I'm done with mods. period. Someday I'll do a thread about everything I've tried and my results. I was planning to apply the mods done to my Ram to my Durango.
Nope, the only thing for my Durango is the Superchips that I just bought for $135. No Sonnax, no RR, no intake, no cam, no ram air. Sorry for the sarcasm - I have wasted countless hours when I could have been doing other things.
I think I just hijacked my own thread.
