i would to have a stall in mine. maybe once i get a real job.

 

^ I thought you said yours was a manual? Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly...

I bought mine off a member on another forum for $260 can't beat that

Only issue is it won't be going into my truck for awhile, probably a few months at least...

 

no im an auto. its either a stall or sharadon stage 3 VB which i realllllyyy want.

 

Gotcha. Stall would help a lot. The guy I bought this one from said his 0-60 dropped about a second with it.

 

i think it would just cause me even more traction problems.

 

just need to get the proper tires for that You don't want to limit yourself due to thinking you won't get traction...I think I'll also have issues with traction, I have an open differential right now and I usually don't have an issue but sometimes it will spin one tire and I'm sure with the stall I won't have a chance of hooking a 5000lb truck with one AT tire... I'm trying to find an RT axle from a junkyard with 4.10 and LSD...

 

2 words. E. Fan. Less rotating mass = quicker revs = more goodness

 

4th gen rams have an efan and mechanical fan. I will be pulling off my mechanical fan soon and installing a 180 tstat, then using the SC to adjust the efan on temps lower(stock is 222 deg F, as it is only a backup overheating protection in case the mechanical fan can't cool enough/fails. The main purpose of the efan on the 4th gen rams is for the AC condenser, but it can be manipulated with a tuner)

 

With the Dakota line being killed off, and the Pentastar V-6 making similar power, I dont see much aftermarket developed for the 4.7 Dakotas. Even the LA engines had relatively little aftermarket, and most of that has dried up. The way these are optimized from the factory, there is little room for simple bolt-ons to have a big impact.

I'm fairly certain these trucks are absolutely choked by torque management. My 98 had SO much more down low, but you can feel this pulling back. It's a completely different feel than when my 360 was running outta air above 4k. This surges and lets off as the rpms build, until you break about 4500. Then it pulls all out. I think this explains why we have the unlimited powertrain warranty we have. My 98 was 3 year/35k IIRC, which was smart. The LA 360 was pretty torqey, the 46RE was junk. the ungodly long driveline was junk, and the factory LSD was junk.

 

don't think you'll find factory R/T in 4.10. AFAIK, they only came in 3.92. 4.56 was a popular mod for the R/T tho. Since it gets you in od so quickly, it actually helped city mileage for some folks. Powertraxx is an option for LSD, although I've heard mixed reviews on it. Never heard a complaint on the Auburn LSD, except for the price.
