...it's not that hard...just make sure you hav the right tools and the only ones that are really necessary are the chrysler specific harmonic balancer puller (very hard to do with the universal ones), an a air impact gun, inch pound tq wrench an metric tools.. avg time is about 6 hours...add a couple more if you do valve springs...

 

...if you do a search on some of the boards, ther are writeup's on how to doem, I have a buddy that I like to doem with so that we don't miss anything...

 

How does the Dynatech complete header and exhaust system compare with the Pacesetter system as far as quality and performance?

Thanks for your information***

 

are there LTs for the 4.7?

 

Thanks Hammer, I'll look into getting these things coated..

 

Thanks to KRC, who has a database on all kinds of dyno's on different brands, setups, etc. I have seen the dyno's on most major brands. The Dynatech's are KING! Nothing else I've seen beats them for HP gains. However, the Pacesetters are roughly a third the price and not that far off on the dyno's, so that's why I went with them.

Also the Dynatech complete system from headers on back is really awesome. The headers, hi-flow cats, muffler and even tubing diameter and bends are all labdesigned and dyno tested to perform perfectly together. It's just too much $$$ for me...


and MMStar: Have not seen LT's for the 4.7 in a RAM. Just about all the major players make shorty's and I've seen a couple of Mid's. But why you askin? Hell you ain't even got tires yet, and you been asking about tires since your post count was like 2. Just messin' with you...

 

haha, i know your hummor, hammer dont worry about it. well i borrowed some money from my dad when we bought the truck, so ive just been slowly but surely paying that off....and the remaining amount is coming to an end pretty soon. maybe even after tomorrow when i get my pay check. i spend money here and there and on gas and i still have to go out with my girlfriend and all that, so only a portion of my pay check goes to other things. so pretty much from now on...well a few days from now my paychecks will be going to my tires . and i was really just wondering about the headers. i highly doubt id get some. and besides once i get what i want done with this truck....im trying to save for a new truck which was discussed before. but only 1 more year of high school and my graduation present will hopefully be paying for half of the new truck.

 

I live in the Nashville Tennessee area. Moved here about 2 1/2 years from New Orleans

 

Scott, if you are thinking about the 6.1 cam for your truck, it's not really a good cam for a QC 4x4.
It is a very good cam for what it's grind is designed for, which is moderate HP gains in the mid rpm range and very good gains in the upper rpm range. To accomplish this, it gives up a good bit of low end, especially low end torque. It's a pretty good mod for a QC 4x2 that doesn't tow much and a great mod for a SC 4x2. It's the low end torque that you really want to see in a 4x4, especially one with over-size tires.
It's a shame too, because that cam requires nothing else (the 6.1 beefier springs are not a bad idea, but not required). I've read a lot of posts from some 4x4 owners who put them in and really felt the low end torque loss and took them right out, unwilling totrade less low end torque than stock for the mid/upper HP gains. As a matter of fact you can usually find the used cams on ebay for a good deal.
A better fit for you would be a Comp 260, Crane 216 or the KRC 210, cams ground more for better low end "grunt" than racing at the strip. But with these you'd want springs, retainers, rods and maybe even a damper which would bring the price up quite a bit.
It just looked to me like you were showing interest in the 6.1 cam and I figured I'd put my 2 cents in. Take it for what it's worth...

 

Hey i always appreciate opinions. Might save me from doing stupid shyt. Such as...I wish someone would have told me to cut the mufflers off my Wife's charger instead of cutting the resonators. Would have saved me $100 of labor that I could have spent else where.
