I have the 4.7 5sp manual tranny as well and have no problem with power. I actually need better grip on my tires!

 

The thing that caught my eye in your questions was the damage to the 1/4 panel ????

Are you referring to the box side panel perhaps? If so, ok...a "chip" does not require the replacement of the box side.

Maybe a better description or better yet a digital pic of the damaged area would help.

If you think they are ripping you off (possibility) go to a reputable body shop in your area and get a free estimate of repairs.

I think you might be surprised at what you find out.

 

sounds yalls crapomatics are stealing your power. gotta love manuals, no torque management or rev limiters. whats your left foot doing?

 

I want to get the leveling kit.. Where did you get it and how much did it cost?? Thanks... Same with the exhaust system.. Thanks again.
