My truck is stock other than muffler and bullydog. I just ordered the tb, vararam, and catch can. After I do the install do I need to disconnect the negative so the computer resets and recognizes the mods? Also is anybody having problems with the BBK header gaskets? I've heard mixed things about their gaskets and want to make sure I use good quality parts since this is my only vehicle for now. Thanks

Anytime you install a mod that affects airflow, you want to disconnect your negative terminal to reset the computer. It is not something that is necessary for the truck to run properly, but it will reduce the amount of time it takes for your computer to adjust to your new mods so that you feel the power increase sooner.

As for the gaskets...the BBK gaskets are not bad, but the factory metal gaskets are better. The softer BBK gasket will seal better initially, so be sure to re torque the headers a few times in the first 1000 miles if going with the metal Mopar gaskets.
