Default 04 4.7 header and 4.56 installed

Last week. tried em out over the weekend.
Nice little gitup now. passing is easier.
have a little hum between 40 and 50mph. rpms went up about 700. lost about 1.5 mpg.

So far i'm happy!!!!!

On a side note.....if you plan on doing any hauling above 1500lbs.....don't go with the 4.56's. I hauled off some concrete my bro-inlaw and i broke up.....the 4.7 had a bit of a hard time starting off. she didn't do to bad once going tho.....until i had to stop:|:|:|:|:|:| right now i'm just glad that trailer didn't rip my bumper off!!!!!!

I am thinking of doing the same thing, do you have 17" or 20" wheels.

17" with 32" Nitto Grapplers.

Trying to decide on 33" Nitto Grapplers or BFG AT's for my next set.

I notice you got a Throttle body from fast man. I was also thinking about getting one of them. Are you happy with it and did you notice any improvement with it. Are you happy with the way you have your truck setup. Does it feel like you have a lot more power then when it was stock.To tell you the truth I would really like to get my truck setup like yours but with the addition of bigger cams.

Everything i have thus far i am happy with, except the jet chip.
Anything major i've had installed, i've had dodge do it. Not because i trust them with my aftermarket parts, but because the installation is warrantied

So you feel the chip was just a waste of money.
