Me too. I think that NAPA had a few, but you had to make sure that you picked up the right size. as they come in a few different diameters.

but you could get a adjustable switch for the fans so that they will not kick on unless it hits 190 or so which would allow it to run a bit warmer.

i could, thing is though they dont even run, i was running it pretty hard today up and down some hills hauling a bunch of crap in the bed and they never came on, i think it gets enough air through the radiator just going down the road

So the timing chain and cover were done when I has a timing chain gasket leak. Are lifters hard to do and what kind of performance increase does it get me, if any? Or is it more of a preventive maintenance thing? I plan on doing the catalytic converter when I replace my exhaust in January, however it may meet a demise sooner, accidentally....

No increase whatsoever replacing the lifters, but you are right there and are ez to do so maintainance thing, around $110 for a set of Mopar performance ones.

Magnum roller lifters Mopar part number P5249862
