Aside from my tranny drain and fill, I will be doing this:

Swapping Fuel Injectors
Stockers will get the 24# 4 hole Dodge motorsport injectors i had on my 1996 5.2. I think the 4 holes will really help performance and mileage. Right now I get 8.9 city miles per gallon (12.5 hwy). I only drive to and from work, and to wallmart/autozone no highway and no more than 400 feet before I hit a light or stopsign. So that is why the city MPG is really bad.

4 weeks later, I will be installing my MSD ignition (also that was in the 1996) and a performance coil.

I will see how well the injectors helped the performance and mileage, then I will put the MSD in and see if that helps even more.

I used to have 16 average MPG on my 1996 5.2, and my 2001 5.9 is a darn pig. I hardly drive it, but I am getting really bored on the weekends and the weather is getting nice in Arkansas.

Where did you get those injectors at?

 

BTW, anyone have any tips on how to solder wires? Or should I just twist them and use shrink tube like I did the last time. I just keep hearing people say "YOu gotta solder the wires." But the injector wires are so thin.

Thoughts?

They do not have a price, but they are 385 for a set of 8. Bruce gave me a set of the EV1 connectors for free. Just call him. Actually, if you do a search on that part number, it will redirect you to another page that has a price...they are the same injectors.

They also sell direct replacements for our rams, but they are only 22#. My truck runs at 49-50 PSI, so these injectors actually run 25.5 lb/hr in my truck. DO NOT BELIEVE THE 43PSI that the manual tells you. Both my dodge rams have 49 PSI at idle

 

THese are the stage 1 upgrades for our trucks:

80 dollars cheaper, but they are only 22lb/hr. The only thing different is they have 4 holes instead of 1 like ours.

I would get the blue tops in case you ever go F-1/cam/1.7s. I don't know if you ever had a carb engine, but people used to say "It is not a MOD unless you have to get bigger jets."

It gives you that leeway to get the best from your mods.

 

Well, I have 1.7 roller rockers, so I'm thinking about the first set. Thanks!

 

Where were you when I was selling them..about 1 month ago? I was gonna let them go for half price, with connectors.

But now I just can't resist to mod my 2001. Screw the fact that i have a warranty to 2011. That is only 1 year away and I am really bored.

 

family here in arkansas?

 

Yeah, Fort smith. We probably live close to eachother. How bout another creepy thing, i will be moving to Indiana in 2012 because I will be attending grad school at UI Bloomington....I will be in purple territory.

 

wait, to explain more. I do not have family here. Me and my family are in Ft Smith. i am in the Army, and my assignment is Army Recruiting Company Commander. So the HQ is in Fort Smith.

So yeah, a Jersey boy is transplanted in Arkansas.
