Why do I feel like my Hemi doesn't run like a Hemi?

ha well im gonna try this now. should i also recalibrate the TPS? The tuneup included changing the air filter, spark plugs, plug wires, oil, (oil filter wasn't changed because mechanic said its in the fuel tank so it doesn't really get dirty). There's different type's of tuneups?

find a new mechanic. your oil filter is attached to the engine and needs changed regularly. perhaps you're thinking of the fuel filter?

Well i would have to agree to disagree with okla...mineral grey is the best color......

its just white that was mixed with black to make it better. but the engineer was looking at maxim and got the proportions off. and thats the story of how mineral grey was born

that little sparkle in the mineral gray comes from the mixer after he gave a little somethin extra into the color mix after looking at the maxim too long.

mike the mineral grey does look good but i have seen very few modded. it seems to be the international color for the non modding class. i see 6 of them every time i go to work, bone stock

Maybe all the mod's are under the hood??? or maybe its because they have those ugly chrome bumpers like mine does...

take the volo thing off and do the pcm reset. there are about 10 different ways so just pick one listed. i do mine every oil change. get a free flow exhaust of your choice and a cia. BFE and vara ram can back their numbers up. look around for what you like but asking us is like asking what the best color ram is. we all know its black but there are a few who live in doubt. these guys are experts in the performance area so feel free to ask for advice or tech support. also check the faqs to see if you get any ideas. good luck --mike


What do you mean by free flow exhaust?? and cia?

sweet i am planning on doing adding exhaust which i forgot to add to my list in my introduction. thanks for reminding me. Whats the difference between all these brands though? power? Sound?

Oh and what did you mean by cia? cai? cold air intake?

^^^ yep. not only will you free up a few ponies, but it'll sound a lot better too. magnaflow is extremely popular with these trucks. dont pick flowmaster -- most people end up ditching it sooner than later for one of the others listed
