and the lagging and popping would be form something being wrong with the truck....not because its stock....if he wants power and performance he should have got a v8 or v10...v6 in a full size dodge truck is well.....you cant polish a t... I guess it depends on what he needs it for...think of the positives...good gas mileage?

lol pretty much, i had a 4.3 vortec in my fullsize GMC and it was slower than hell, traded it in for the same truck with a 350 and i loved it.

V6's should never be put in a fullsize truck there is a reason why our v8's run past 200k. They'er built for the stress, the v6's arent
