RE: Power Wire.....?
I had one on my truck...but I also had a Hypertech prog. Somebody told me that having both is bad because you could be leaning out the a/f mix. I took it off the day I heard that. I still have it...and the dust pan scoop...you want mine? PM me if you do.

no on his website it says its the same for almost all dodge engines. from the smallest v6 up to the hemi. actually if i had a hemi i would go with a programmer if you have the money. but the 4.7 doesnt have any programmers for it so if you have the 4.7 then id go ahead and get this.

I've had my PW since the ummer and haven't had any soot problems. Seeing I don't drive my Ram much because of work I haven't done the pen-and-paper MPG but I defenitely know it has gone up.
AIR RAM, is there still a 6-week waiting period on the PW? My friend from NJ wants one but heard there was a wait.

Going to get me a power wire. Its a cheap power upgrade and is easy to hook up just unplug temp sensor put power wire on and plug power wire back onto sensor and it ready to go
Have read a lot on this power wire and everyone that has one is happy with the results more power and better mpg .

Sorry in advance if I offend AirRam, but I call bull**** on this. He claims it isn't a resistor, but is sounds exactly like a resistor.

What is this Device? It is a resistor chip that gives out a constant reading of air temperature to your ECU.
Sorry, it isn't. It's a 40ยข resistor that lowers the voltage coming from the sensor. A chip is made of silicon and has many layers of circuitry laid out in it, and it requires a special plug - similar to the chip inside your PC or the ECU in the car.
Will my car accelerate faster with this electronic device? Yes! This is the whole point! It has been dyno proven that this device will add up to 20 HP to your vehicle!
Really? Because the dyno graphs on e-bay are so obviously faked that I'd believe an untrained 3-year-old could do a better job. I'd like to see actual proof of this from a reputable dyno shop.
Will this device damage my car? Absolutely not. Since the altered signal will always stay within the manufacturer's specifications, there is no way for your engine to get damaged in any way.
Yeah - not technically true. You are fooling the engine into thinking it has a cooler air charge, therefore the fueling will be altered beyond the manufacturers specification for the given air temperature, and that could damage your engine.
Like I've said above in this page - if this really worked, why wouldn't the car manufacturers simply re-map their ECUs to perform like this? Or add this resistor to their circuits themselves? Simple - because it does not work.
