    Rebuilding my 5.2, summit offers a 3.940in piston bore size. Is a +.030 OK to overbore? The spacing between bores looks adequate but i was hoping to get input from someone who knows more than i do on this subject.

    HVAC door stuck?

    Just purchased a 2001 Dodge Ram SLT 5.2. One thing I noticed is that the HVAC will not blow out of anything other than the defrost vents. No matter what else I turn it to, it is always there. Any quick suggestions on what to check before I rip out the dash?
