also remember that s-10 probally weighs half of what you do. And there is a difference in being quick (Tuner Cars) and being fast (Muscle Cars) he might have been quick but once he is out of speed the fast cars allways catch them and pass.

 

You are very right rebel..i did however catch up with him..he was just ahead of me for a lil bit..but i finally caught up with him..kinda watchin the speed tho too..was goin 80 in a 55 on a major highway lol..so didnt want to get busted..country road id be flooring it..but still i gotta love my 5.9..wish i had a hemi tho ..maybe in the future when this one finally dies if ever haha

 

our motors are known for cracked heads(hence the compression check) and bad plenum gaskets. just take your aircleaner off,hold open the butterflies and look down in with a flashlight. if there is any pooling of oil,you have a bad plenum gasket.

 

So talon..your truck run pretty good then..as for speed and all that? I know these trucks arent that good for speed and more for torque but still..didnt know what lil things i could do to help out the truck..im an ohio man myself by the way..but will have to get a compression test tho..and will have to take a look at too for the plenum gasket..thanks

 

yep,runs pretty good. my neighbor with his hemi couldnt believe it. and i will leave that statement at that,cause i will get flamed.

superchip3815 and the harland sharp 1.7rr's really liven it up.

it really hurt the power though when i took the stock twenties off and put 17's with 35's on it though.

where do you live in ohio? i live close to zanesville.

got any pics of you truck? here's mine.

These are supposed to be one of the best mods for the 5.2/5.9 engine. If I still had my 2nd gen ram they would have been my next mod.

 

Someone could explain to us 3rd gen guys what they do?

 

Where did you get your rr from..and what size are they..and you say it is well worth the money to get those..and how hard are they to change out

 

good looking truck you got there

 

I know of many S-10 with v8 conversion and with 3.8L Turbo engines in them here in N ew Jersey. The bad part is you do not here them at idle but when they hit the gas BAM they are gone in no time. AT ATCO Raceway I have seen them dive in to the track and run between 10.5 sec to 14.0 sec. then drive home.
