I would say trade that truck in for a post '96 2nd gen ram. The best two years where 2000
and 2001. Honestly other than that I wouldn't even bother. A non-OBDII fuel injected motor
IMO just isn't worth the money.

i bought this truck brand new in oct 94 for just under 14000. i have been driving this truck ever since. never had to do anything other than standard maintenance. this truck has never let me down...has never broke down on me...has never left me stranded...and has always pulled/hauled/towed for me.

i would say it is WELL worth the money.

Sounds to me like you should leave it alone then. Works great and is a trusty steed in the
stable. Have you thought of maybe picking up another truck to toy with? I only say this
because you can bolt on headers, intakes, throttle bodies, new heads, cams, etc, etc but
I just don't know how your going to get the truck dialed in unless you go to a stand alone
engine management unit like F.A.S.T. or equivalent. If you can't get the tuning right in the
end their really is no point in starting. I'm done. that's my 2 cents, take it or leave it.

That's about the last thing on my list of worries when purchasing a vehicle.

highflo or gutted cat

headers

underdrive pulley

electric fan

roller rockers

hopefully will have all of this finished in the next week or so...depends on how long this crap takes to get here.
Electric fans can be a pain in the ***....I'm just talking from experience with them in my vette....damn temp sensors and relays to fail....not worht the small performance boost unless your racing in my opinion but then again, What do I know?
Plenum is also on my list athough mine seems fine right now, but I may not know what I'm missing right?
