Talking Just got my new sport!

Whats up everyone? I just got my new hemi sport yesterday. I love this truck dont know y i waited so long to get one. I put a flowmaster 40 on it and it sound amazing. ordered my air raid intake today will have it on tomorrow and hoping to get the windows tinted as well. i will post some pics as soon as i finish. my question is does anyone know of a good programmer thats out there. Also what does a throttle body spacer do and is it worth the money. any help would be appreciated. another question i have is my truck has the 3.55 gears are the 3.92 gears alot of difference or not they r gonna charge me 2200 to install so havent decided if im gonna do that or not.

Congrats on the awesome ride. What color did you get?

To answer your questions: they suck skip them for now, not worth the money really, you'll notice the difference but forget the dealer and go after market oh and don't forget to add LSD, probably looking at 1000 to 1200 for the swap.

Congrats man. I have mine with 3.92 gears. Big difference over the stock 3.55 in my oppinion. Test drove both and the 3.92 feels a lot stronger off the line.

Bambohunter, I'm thinking $1200 aftermarket is probably for both diffs. You do need to keep the same ratio in the front & rear diffs, but $2200 still sounds really expensive. Unless you are going to run a lot larger tires, or be pulling a trailer all the time, I would hold off on the gears until you are sure you need them. Lot's of other goodies you could buy with $2200! And the gears will always be there if you decide you really want them. Just my opinion though. Jeff.

Ditto! My experience exactly as well.
