Oh, just a couple things I'd like to note, my truck has 40k miles. At 38k miles I had to change the front driver balljoint, steering shaft and steering pump. This was before I hit the curb.

390? Is that the flashpaq (oh, SCT)? It cost 379 at www.superchips.com,
Why can't you just return it? Either way, you're going to have to ship it somewhere.

Default tstat

get a180 t stat for a 99 dakota rt from napa. drill 2 8th in. holes antwhere on the inside diameter, this keeps the cooling system from air locking, use a file and file a small u shape notch for gasket. it will take you longer to drain and refill system than it will too replace t stat. You also may want to look into a superchips or sct tuner, youll get much better results, electric fan, ho cams, ask air ram, he is good with these 4.7 motors and gtting your moneys worth. nice truck looks good.

Thanks, I don't get in trouble for the hood, sometimes it gets in the way but you get used to it.
