So your saying automatics had different axels than manuals? Or the lowest an auto's gearing goes is to 3.73's.

So a ram intake would maybe be better? Considered?

Also on the dodge engineering thing. Yeah they have brilliant guys there and such. But 85% of these things on these rigs especially aftermarket were created by regular people just realizing something needed improvement. Could be wrong on my percentage but never the less I had a teacher in high school. He told us a story how a guy went into colgate. Sold a 1/2 million dollar idea to them so they could improve sales 20-30%. Know what it was? It was make the nozzle on the end of tooth paste bigger so you use more, you use more, you buy more. If you really think that all of the designs on these trucks is purly dodge engineering. I'm sorry. No way. For instance like the plastic races on the front bearings.

 

it wont make a difference IMO... I think what would make a difference is if you could find a way to regulate the intake air temp better. the thing to do would be to put it on a dyno and measure the performance with the IAT's at different temps, that way you'd have data to back up the butt dyno.

OK, I just got done digging thru the manual and the sensor is the one mounted on the airbox... so the actual intake air temp is not measured. if you could measure it at the intake manifold to see the actual intake temp is then you'd know what temp to target. I have a port on my ATS intake that I am planning to someday put a temp sensor there to measure intake temps... not sure when that'll happen but it's on my list of things to do.

 

auto's manuals. . .all 3rd gens have the same axels, 11.5AAM's. now 02 and previous had dana axels.

 

Awesome thanks for the help guys.

 

Yea, I've got an 02 and it has a dana 80 rear and a dana 60 front with the 3.54 gears
