FireFighter; Thanks for your trouble and the notification. I had thought about your goat during the summer in how was it doing after your spring-rod venture last spring. Being you had not posted anything lately I took it all is running to specs.
And thanks to the other Ga goatDriver, Weed, for the source tip to buy the rods&springs from 'here'. The prices I do like.
The rod pic tells there are a slight flat wear spots on each OEM rods. It would be interesting to have a hardness comparison test on the two. Thanks for the info.

There wasn't any noticable wear on the OEM's, it's prolly just a reflection off the flash, they were all still nice and round...to the naked eye at least.

i have read this whole thread and hoping you guys can atleast point me in the right direction. i bought an 04 hemi a couple of months ago and like a dumbass i bought it with all of the after mods done without me doing them myself. This truck has a bigger cam with a cam tuner installed. My question to firefighter is what gave you the idea other than having it happen before that you had a spring broke...im kind of scared bc with this bigger cam i dont know if they changed to bigger springs and when i pull up to stop signs or parking spots the truck dies and the idle at times can be real irregular it is throwing off like 6 codes for random cylinder misfire and TPS and MAF sensor and i have checked all of these...i have taken the TB off and cleaned it and also the EGR and cleaned it...i am out of answers and i know this is an old thread i am just trying to rule out this crap bc your thread was intense...i was sitting here like "oh $hit" what did i just buy other than it dying at stop signs and such...the truck runs like a striped *** ape....i cant even keep back tires on it please help if you guys can

Sounds to me like you need a tune lschones?
What tuner are you using?
What cam is in?
Do you know the answers to any of these questions?
It would really help the guys on here to help you if you do.
