The only one I ever got rid of was the DSP. I had a SC and then decided to give up trans control to try the DSP. That was a mistake bc driving around with a stock shift schedule really stinks. Ended up trading the DSP for another Sc, so it all worked out in the end.

I always read on here where everybody puts on programmers, intakes, exhaust, ect. and alot of people say that none of this helped mpgs. My thought is these are "performance" upgrades and yes I know they state that you save gas but they are "supposed" (I use that word strongley) to help you with horsepower. Thahts why I wanted a hemi, because I want to get as much power from it as I can. If you want to save mpgs. get a civic or prius and get out of my way. Opinions are like butholes, everybodys got one and thats mine.

Nothing yet....but thats becasue my truck is mostly stock and going to stay that while for now. Only thing I did was mds light and trans temp gauge. I have learned from past vehicles that I have done to much to and regret every time. I have learned to leave my fingersoff stuff for alittle haha

I had a suspicion it was the right ballast as the bulb would sometimes not turn on the first time i turned the lights on. eventually the bulb gave out. swapped bulbs from the left over to the right, still works. was running cockeyed with one HID and one halogen till alst week when I got my Philips ExtraVision bulbs in (which are f'n sweet). HIDExtra is willing to replace the bulbs, but alls that is going to do is last another 4 months till the warranty is out then blow another bulb, and the radio will have static again.

Thats what im scared of, west virginia has so many restrictions, but not very many cops bother u unless ur truck is just ridiculously lifted with 40's, but then again there is always that one cop! So since i got spacers i hope my tires dont make me get pulled over, because they will stick out

West Virginia has a restriction on how big your tires can be?

Yes and no, the restriction is the front bumper cant be 42 inches off the ground, and the tires cannot stick out past the fenders at all! not even a inch. its stupid... They say their reasoning is that with the roads here they say lifted truck are more prone to rolling over... DUH! so why restrict truck for all the idiots that go 90 mph around kick ur a** turns
