Hi im new here i have a Black 2006 dodge dakota quad cab TRX 4.7L edditon i really love my truck but the only thing is i want ti to be a little faster i was wondering what the difference in a regular 4.7l and a 4.7l ho and do any of yall know how to take the headlight apart i want to paint them black any suggestion will really help thank you

 

For the headlights... take them off the vehicle... preheat an oven to 150 degrees... get an oven pan, put a towel over it, put the lamp in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes... take out, pry apart, the glue will still be kinda stickty...

You NEED NEED NEED to make sure you get all the glue off first though before you reapply. I would suggest using just the cheapest high temp flat black spray paint you can find to do this.

Let me know how it goes, my friend did this in his WRX and it looks amazing.

 

There's a lot of stuff out there that you can go to to get faster parts. Start by changing the intake system and go with a Cold Air Intake. Then, change your exhaust to a catback dual or if you can afford to, you can do a true dual exhaust; you can also put in a Jet Chip Stage I or Stage II. For a Stage II, you'll need a 180 therostat installed. You can also go to Fastman.com and order yourself a new Throttle Body. You should get enough power out of all of those to keep you happy for a little while.

Here are two good sites to go to for more than just what I told you: www.krcperformance.comand www.socaldakota.com. Both of these sites offer a lot more than what you'll see from any other site.

Oh, welcome to the forum too.
