I tried but can't seem to make it work.

Here's the pic in question:


I don't really like it, if I did a guage pod I'd want one in the A-pillar.

 

Ya, thats what Rory has...

Said when driving he can't see 0 - 20 or 100 - 120....

 

Why would he need to see 100-120?

 

Hey now those are very important speeds, gotta see those

 

IDK my needle is always past those anyway... :-P

 

I'm new to this forum, so forgive me if this was already mentioned, but I have a 3.7L '06 Dakota, and want to increase the hp. I plan on installing a K&N 63 intake and dual exaust, i'm leaning towards the MBRP split side cat back exhaust. Has anyone ever used MBRP or heard good/bad things about them? After that I want to put in a JET Chip, I was thinking Stage I because I can still use 87 gas instead of 91, but if Stage II has more noticeable hp and there are some sort of increase in mpg with the better fuel, than it may be worth it. I'm not looking to make my dakota into a race truck, I just want there to be some more power when i give it some gas, I have a standard so I can shift at higher rpms to get up to speed, but I'd still like the engine beefed up a little. I'm on a tight budget right now so I'm going to have to do these three things in stages, but I want to make sure I'm going to get the most hp gain I can between these three mods. Let me know what you guys think and which brands you think I should go with for the CIA and Cat-Back exhaust. Thanks!

I went with a custom jobby on my exhaust with a Magnaflow muffler and tips. Sounds great and I had some great power gains from it.

I also went with the Airaid intake. It's cheaper than the K&N and you get the same gains on paper.

 

I went with the K&N 77series and I love it... although it is more "showy" than the 63 series the heat transfer through the Chrome intake is negligable... and I as well had my exhaust done at an exhaust shop... but I had a Goerlich Xclerator muffler put on ... same design as a magnaflow but not as loud... also my exhaust is 2.5" so I didn't change the diameter...

If your looking for more HP another mod you might want to consider is a new Throttle Body... don't even consider a Throttle Body Spacer... they do nothing... you wanta whole new Throttle body ... Lots of ppl on this forum will recommend www.thefastman.com ... :-D

Hope this helps

 

Here's what I got so far styling wise, the prices are all approximate from what I can remember:

DODGE 4-fold Hard Tonneau Cover - $800
Westin Bull Bar - $400
Tinted Front Windows - $100
Chrome Door Handles and Tailgate Handles - $100
Chrome Fule Door - $75
Window Visors - $50
Bling Fog Lights - $50
Silvania Silver Star H13 - $30
LED Reverse Bulbs - $25
Trailer Ball - $5

I'm not adding anything else to the outside until I save up some more money and complete what I want to do performance wise to my dakota, the 3.7L isn't really powerful enough for me right now, but I have a standard so with a few mods I think I can get it where I need it to be. Right now i'm thinking K&N 63 intake, Fastman TB, MBRP cat back split side exhaust. Then maybe a 180 T-stat, Jet Stage II, and hopefully JBA makes some headers for the 3.7L Dakota, if I was located near them I'd definitly give them my truck for two weeks to work on. Anyone in here have a 3.7 and live near JBA, they're looking for 05-07 Daks with a 3.7 to test headers on? Might be cool to check out.
