thermostats stick open when they fail...
as for the list, it looks good.
I Would probably pass on the jet chip, since you can pick a superchips tuner up for a hundred more... then you can move the rev limiter, shift points...

Ifn' it were me, I'd do the ultimate upgrade - it's called trade it in on a full size with a Hemi 
!!!
Oops! Did I just stick my nose in the "Itty bitty truck section" and start some sh*t again?

Weight to Hp Ratio
Ram w/ hemi 6700lb/345hp=19.40 lb/hp
Dakota w/ 4.7 4700lb/305hp=15.40 lb/hp
hmmm my mind made up on top of the better fuel economy then a hemi Why pull the extra weight?

Curb weight of my QC 1500 Hemi 4x4 was 6350 lbs. off the lot. Even with a suspension lift, 35" tires and a winch on the front, mine weighs in just a shade over 7000 lbs. with me in it on a land fill scale!
What did you do, weigh a Hemi truck with your sister sitting in it or sumthin'???
My bad, I corrected it...I was off by a bit, the new ones are 6700lb gross, when I pulled the first numbers I glanced at em, it was the towing capacity I mistaked them for... , but still we kick ***
haha, OUCH... man you go for the throat... No my sister doesnt weigh that much maybe 135 but shes like 5'9" to 5"10"

alright, i got the green light from my wife, it only cost me 2 coach bags.
I am going to order the gibson exhaust and header's, SC cortex programmer and the jet stat. I will not be adding the HO cams, at least not anytime soon, perhaps next christmas. Is this a good setup for the SC cortex scanner?
I am really glad she did not ask minor details such as the total cost. I guess I will be doing my part for the economy also.
