Low on power?

Well, I thought I was imagining things...but when the tranny fluid was up to the right level, I thought she was more spunky.
I got a little mirror, and plan on checking the Plenum. I need to get the air filter body out anyhow to check the filter. I am going to have the truck in for inspection and an alignment at the Stealership...should I ask them to take care of the death flash? Who do you go to for that?

they will look at you like you're stupid if you say death flash.
if you show them the tsb that is the death flash and explain how it retards the timing and screws you out of the engines full potential. then explain how it was dodge's way of saving a boatload of labor by doing a pcm flash instead of fixing the plenum gasket then they will tell you that there isn't a problem and the flash was what should have been done.

All you can do for the said "death flash" is get a tuner, such as SCT or Superchips, or find a PCM that does not have the death flash.
One way you can find out whether or not you have the death flash is by looking at the PCM. It's all the way in the back of the engine compartment, on the passenger side. It's silver metal with black plastic and has three large sets of wires on it. If there's a sticker on the metal part that says something like "Chrysler Authorized Software Update," then you have the death flash.
Even if you don't have the death flash, a tuner will still help.
