Slowly coming to terms with the fact that I may have to sell my truck in the next few months, pending a potential job change and PCS across country. Three little kids now, and the new job would have a long commute for a few years that having my 13mpg avg wouldn't be a good thing. Post training I'd be hopping back a Ram, most likely a 2500, preferably a 6.7/6 speed combo. We'll see tho..

Even if I do move and sell, I'll be lurking around here. You guys are just too much fun.

I'll keep y'all posted!

Thanks. I really want to do the new job, cause I'd get to live in Monterey CA for almost 18 months, which is dope. My job might be going away so I'm looking at getting ahead of the ball game here. I'd be sad to sell my truck, but that's life. I'll have a Superchips 3865 for sale if I do! Haha

Haha thanks. It's going to be used to trade in for something with decent gas mileage and four doors. In eyeing a 2007 dodge caliber, 5 speed.

I tried, think you'll like that, a coworker had one, went pretty well with that no shift acceleration.

Got some parts in right before I left on vacation so might have a chance to install them next week. Still can't work but they gave me back use of my thumb and index finger. I got a protective film for my light bar that alters the color as well so I'll put it on.
Hopefully I'll be able to do some of it.

For the caliber...Carefully look at the engine cradle. They just had a recall on engine cradle rot/replacement.

They also eat front lower A arms (puck bushings), and rear upper control arms.

Not bad little econo cars...but we dumped my wifes after i replaced a set of control arms and a month later they were bad again (front and rear). then after it was gone we got the recall notice on the cradle. Thing was probably wobbling itself in half with a split cradle.

Mines the 5.7. I'm not sure, but I think it works for the 4.7. According to another forum it is compatible with the 4.7.
