I just bought an 05 Quad Cab with the 4.7 Magnum and I love it. What are the best mods I can add to improve gas mileage and performance. I would rather have performance over mileage but both would be nice.

They get up to 61 mpg...

Then mod your truck for power...

Then you have best of both worlds...

Welcome to DF, nola24 basically named everything you would want without going extreme.

Dont mind Frenchy, he doesnt know anything, plus if ya road a 250 I would call ya homo... If you are looking for a bike buy a Harley!

That is not helping the Frenchster's street cred.

Thunda, welcome to DF and G3 Dakotas.

Yeah no *** bikes here I own an 04 Road King with a Stage II kit.

Do they make a chip for the 05 Dakota and if so is it worth it?

There ya go! I own a 03 Softail with a Stage I kit right now... its a big improvement

Yes, the best one is actually a tuner, and I say its worth it, I bought one for my truck and it woke it up drastically! Plus all the other options you get! Dont buy the Jet Chip, they suck...

Hahahahaha. A 250? That's a joke, right? At least they finally made them look like a real bike. Now you can roll on one without LOOKING like a girl, but they still sound like a little kiddie toy though so it's gay either way...
