amanda, i am planning to purchase a '01 with a 318 in it soon, is fastman still taking orders with the same deal? if so, i'll probably inquire you about getting one of the tb's as soon as i get my truck.

ovek: "...he even helped me with ideas of gaining low end power over high end. thanks for getting us in touch with him! "
i'm curious as to what he had to say about increasing low end torque if you would like to share? if privacy is a concern would you mind sending me an email?

what i have in mind is k&n cai, jba exhaust and headers and possibly this throttle body. wow that's a lot of extra money to spend, but if i get that grunt out of such a heavy truck, it'll be so worth it.

 

Hi Amanda,

I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Is the special buy still open to a new order?

I have a 5.9L Durango R/T that would just love a little more power.....
OK, you got me, I would love the extra power ;-)

Let me know.
Thanks.

Yep, this is still open... both YOU and YOUR DURANGO will love the extra power. Just send me this info at DODGEGIRL19@aol.com

I took a quick look at the Fastman's web site. I didn't see anything about the new 3.7L V6. Does it use the same TB as the 3.9, or does he not offer that one yet? If he needs a "guinea pig" 3.7L TB to work on, maybe I can help him out. I mostly ride my motorcycle in the summer, and might be able to send him my TB to work on.

 

I sent an email to Fastman via his website and got an answer to my own question. He does have TB's for the new 3.7L V6, and quoted me a fantastic price! Great news for all of us buying the new Baby Magnum who want a little more performance.

 

Oooh I'm so sorry, I didn't see your post. I could have told you that. LOL! My bad... I apologize!!

Did you tell him DF sent you? I hope you like your new TB... you can't buy a better one!!

OK. Now I'm trying to understand. I have a 98 Ram 5.2, 2 wheel drive, that has all the power of an old Rambler American 6 cyl that I had years ago, and gets the gas mileage of a grain truck (15 tops). I've got a K&N, a Helix Power Tower, and stock exhaust. Now from what I read there is no increase in MPG, and some increase in performance? What is the point? This truck needs help for sure but I want something that will at least let it keep up with a GM 4.3! I've never been so disappointed in a truck in my life. Looks good, and it's easy to get a look at it 'cause it won't go fast enough for anyone to miss, especially if there is a hill!

 

Well, I have a 1999 5.2L 4x4 in the family, I just drove it over 1,000 miles in two days and it's got loads of power, gets about 12 miles to the gallon in regular city driving. It's got a Mopar Performance Cold Air Intake and Flowmaster Exhaust for mods, along with the TB. We noticed a ton of gain in performance and no loss in gas mileage when we installed the Fastman Throttle Body... THAT'S the point.

Sounds to me there's a deeper underlying problem with your truck's engine if you aren't getting anywhere fast.... cause the 4x4 can haul some ***.

Read through this post, not one disappointed purchase... obviously it's a great addition to any modified engine.

i know this is a little off topic but
ramarado
my truck had the same problem and it was the stock catilitic converter
it broke free from the mount inside and was plugging the exhaust
talk about a performance gain when i changed it lol

sorry to stray

Hello Amanda,

Thanks for the great offer, I talked with Dan about a week ago and purchased mine. I don't remember when he said it would get out. Could you ask him if it's on the way? I can't wait to install it on my durango.
