Default Overhead

Anybody now the interval dodge recommends for an overhead? Did mine when it hit 80,000 and recommend to everybody to have it ran at 60,000. Really cuts down on the noise and seems to have a little more power. Definatly worth the hour of work on a weekend.

Had mine checked at 200K. No adjustment needed...............
How hard are they to adjust? When I had mine checked, with no adjustment, they still charged me $200. If it's not to difficult I think the next time I'll just do it myself.

LOL. I thought you were talking about the Overhead Lie o Meter console. Most likely will have mine checked every 75K, cause I am ****.

They are a screw and jam nut setup. As for running the overhead, it is about a 4 on a 1-10 scale if you've never done it before. Something that anyone can do in a day.
