yeah it is... I was too lazy to put it on. It will throw a code but not the CE light.

Glad to hear it made it. The MSD website will have the install instructions... if you need any help or have any questions, let me know.

 

not to jack your thread steve... LOL

but to comment on the tach adapter... i got the code now for the coil and im gonna do a test on the tach adapter to see if it is really needed or not... as far as hp or mpg effectivness

ill let chopper know when i find out

 

I spent a while searching through the MSD websites tech forum. There was a specific question for my year model range and the tech said no. Then again time will tell. Not sure if there are any changes from 97 to 2001.

 

Unfortunately, they are not all toys. Three of them are work vans. I still like to tinker with them though. K&N drop ins, 180* stats and such. 12 was actually a good deal. The driveway is huge.

What motor does the Dakota have? I sold one about six month ago. It had the 4.7 in it. That thing was pretty fast with only a K&N drop in. I miss it

 

the wifes has the 3.9L in it. it is pretty slow to accelerate but holds the speed ok I guess. Irks her that I get better milage than her in the new truck

the tach adapter will not affect milage or performance, it is there to "fix" the tach signal only. that's 1 reason why I never was too motivated to install it. It's more of a nusiance (sp?) than anything...

again, it does not light the CE light...

Steve - Do you happen to have info on the leveling kit? Before and After pics? I joined you on the dark side.... traded the '98 gasser in on a '06 CTD 3 days ago. Man, the difference in power. A bit sooner than expected, but will work better for towing the Jeeps.

Here are the pics of my truck right after getting it... I havent gone back to take some after leveling kit shots because of the weather... I can within the next day or two though and I'll post them here...

looks much better after the kit was installed...

forgot to mention... I think the kit was a revtech?? cost about $150 otd and took me about 3.5~4.0 hours to install. the install instructions tell you to disconnect the tracbar which is crap... I did it w/o having to do that. I used a couple of jacks to push the axle up/down to get the clearance I needed to fit the spring back in...

 

OK, check that... found a camera here @ work and it is clear enough for pics... I should have them up in a couple of hours...

 

man i wanna come to the dark side... you guys suck!

any takers yet on your 2gen yet steve?

 

Wow! I didn't think it could get much better than the 2000 that you have now but I have to say the new truck looks awesome too! I noticed in one of the other threads that you were planning to sell the 2000, how much do you think you will be able to get for it? I sure hate to see you let that thing go, it is such a nice truck.
