Lt. Looney
This is my first major project I'm going to be doing. My dad passed away and I got his truck. It's a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 w/5.9L V8. So in memory of him the project will be "Lt. Looney" In the coming days/months/years I will be working on it. I'm not gonna do anything crazy.
Projects, no specific order.
These are just a few of the things I'm gonna change. I'll be starting with a tune up and a new K&N air cleaner kit, E3 sparkplug/wire upgrade. Switch from regular oil to mobil 1 synthetic.

Any comments or advice welcome.
Will keep updated

Dang it I knew I forgot some. I definitely want to do the plenum gasket. The high flow cat is going with the exhaust. Timing chain/water pump for sure. And the hubs and u joints for sure. As for the aluminum belly pan, not to sure what that is. Enlighten me.

Aluminum belly pan lit (hughes sells them) solves the problem of the new plenum gasket failing because the steel pan expanded and contracted at a different rate than the rest of the manifold(cast aluminum) causing the seal to break and blow out the gasket...
