Best HIDs for the Dakota
Magnaflow 40 Series Muffler, gibson headers are on their way, Stainless Steel pipes from Lou's Custom Exhaust. I am trying to find a Hi-Flo Cat, but not having any luck... Also running my Weapon R Air Intake , and a 3" PAG Body Lift 33" BFG R/T's and full synthetic oil of course... got the yellow Dakota, but thats changing in a couple weeks when I get my hands on some "Envy Me Green" paint from Dodge...
How does your Superchips tuner work? Do you notice a difference?

Sounds exciting, maybe we can have a truck meet this summer! What is "envy me green?"..I like it..really noticed an immediate difference in feel of the truck and power gains. From simple things to 30mph hill climbs to 0-60 runs it is really noticeable. I run the tow tune and use 87 octane without any issues. Picked mine up for about $230 and found out on here today that it is a universal OBDII reader and not just limited to vehicles it is capable of tuning. The mods I have plus an e-fan(which I am doing very soon) and maybe a 180 t-stat are all basic mods you can do for decent power and drive-ability gains
OK so I talked to DDM they said I can only run a Lobeam HID kit, not HI/LO that the 06 Dakota will flicker, and the error code eliminator probably wont help either.... can anyone chime in on this and tell me about their experience and what to ACTUALLY order? I dont want to order something that won't work.
Seriously? How do they know your running HID's in the fogs to pull you over in the first place? Pulled over for your exhaust?? What kind of place is this anyway?? What do your local laws say specific to HID's or exhausts?
The exhaust cant be making noise over a certain amount, I forget what the amount is, but I can find out. The HID Fog lights my buddy got pulled over apparently the HID fogs, and the HID Hi/Lo's blind people.... and if theyre over a certain Kelvin theyre illegal... Who knows if thats true, or the cop wanted to write a bogus ticket. We are talking Essex Country in Mass. Ipswich, Byfield, Topsfield, Rowley, Amesbury, Essex. Im always stopped in those towns.... never in Fitchburg though....

I am from Norfolk county and it isn't that harsh around here..I mean who actually follows these laws? If these laws were strictly enforced then you would not see any ricers or, as I like to call them, "spivics" on the roads
