Default New to the forum

Hello all, I am new to the forum, I just bought a 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.2 liter sport
4x4. I live in Ohio so I wanted to find one with zero rust, this took me months of hunting
Around and I finally found one from California. I love the truck it only has 91000 miles
And I got it for 6500 hundred it was a great deal in my opinion. I have been reading through
All of the forum threads on ways to increase horsepower and efficiency. I can't wait to hear
Back from everybody, and gain as much knowledge as possible.

Welcome to the forum. First off, we need to know what vehicle you are referring to in order to assist you. Year, model, miles, etc. We can then direct you to the proper technical forum to get answers to your question. Thi section is for new member introductions. There are separate technical sections for specific year/model of Dodge vehicles where you would post questions like this.

You want to tighten them to 72 INCH pounds, not foot pounds.
