The Tow tune with high octane has much better throttle response, and a lot more messing around town kinda power. I will never switch back to the high performance tune after checking out the tow tune!


EDIT.. When did they start supporting the 2010?

Thanks for the compliments. I love the color also. If I had ordered the truck there's no way I wouold have paid extra for it, cheap bastage that I am.

BTW, love the truck. Wish mine had those wheels.
I had 1/3 of a tank of 87, and added 93, then threw on the 91 tune; Holy crap! The tires smoked from idle, without any powerbraking, then let out a baby chirp on the 1-2 shift. Many smiles per gallon. I threw the tune at my buddies shop. When I left I lit up the tires going past a guy polishing his 70 1/2 Z28, 11 second street car. We BS'd about his car(s) and the Dak for a while.

I've decided on the K&N 63, P/N 63-1546, the Borla #40655 Turbo 19"x4"x9.5", and removing the big resonator. That should be amusing, lol.

I don't know. I had to call them to get the program, it wasn't on the unit as purchased.

I was at the Dodge parts counter earlier today, picking up some Neon parts. The counter guy brought up the computerized Illustrated Parts Breakdown. He printed it out, but it doesn't have the nomenclature attached to the numbers that point to the part. I did call out the numbers to him and he verified the names. Each exhaust manifold has a cat (ovbiously), then under the cab there is #8 which he said is the resonator/piping assembly, followed by #7, the muffler, then #5 the over-the axle pipe and (bullet) resonator. He may be incorrect, but that's what I was told today. The print is: 2010 ND, 011 - Exhaust 110 - Exhaust System 4.7LK [EVE]. If someone knows differently, I'd love to have the info. I plan on removing the muffler and resonator, installing the Borla, and leaving the little bullet resonator.

yes, thats correct. It goes resonator, muffler, resonator. I would remove both resonators if you want the true sound, otherwise the resonator after your new performance muffler will alter the sound. I think someone on here did that and it was too quiet.
