Bought my first dodge and have a lot of questions

[*tim*]

I have always owned chevys but loved the looks of the new dodges so finally bought one. I got a 13 hemi 4x4 qc. My first question is about this catch can I've been reading about, is it really a must and if so are these trucks really that high maintenance? Second question is about performance mods, on all the newer chevys I've owned intake and exhaust mods didn't really give any gains in HP or MPG and handheld tuners didn't do much either. The only real gains were from professional tunes. But all these bolt ones seem pretty popular with the hemi guys.

I'm a reformed Chevy guy too. You have 395 horse power how much more do you want? If you want to feel it, get some 4.56 gears, although your MPG will go down your head will snap back on the line. I don't know first hand but on your list I would say the tuner is the way to go from what I've been reading. BTW, how do you like your new truck?

Welcome to the other side of the world it is fun having people bash your truck ride in it and then say "these are really nice."

I'm a newbie when it comes to the gas burning Hemi. Just bought mine a few months ago. I'm a pro concerning the Cummins. So ill be monitoring this thread for advice on upgrades. The little reading I've done so far it appears "BullyDog Hemi Plus" tuner is the only tuner to crack Hemi codes. Not sure about catch can but I've seen it mentioned a few times.

Diablo also has a tuner, but it allows custom tunes.

I know all the regular bolt ons but with my chevys it seemed like you could spend well over a grand chasing 20hp and maybe 1mpg. How does the hemi react to the regular bolt ons

The hemi reacts great to bolt ons. Especially moes throttle body.

This I installed my 85mm TB from Moes and my truck went from awesome quick to SWEET this is INcredible Awesome quick.

I would invest in a catch can. After about 40k miles the back side of the throttle body will be gunked up and you'll start loosing a little performance and economy. Second a 87mm throttle body from moes. You'll notice a big difference in throttle response just from that. CAI, exhaust (whether full replacement or just muffler/most will say magnaflow sounds the best, and I will agree) right now I don't believe there is a tuner available for the 13's. Then to pull everything together a set of ARH Long Tube Headers.

This is a link to Moe's Performance, and he is a member on here who sells the catch cans and in the description of what it is and does should help answer some questions. You could as pm him and he will tell you everything you need to know.

Another question, how do I tell if I have limited slip rear end? I looked on my build sheet and didn't see any "anti slip" it has 3.55 gears and will spin both tires on dirt roads but did a quick burnout in my driveway and only one black mark. Is there a tag or something on the axle?

My 13 cc has 3.55 gears and the sticker said anti spin rear end for another couple hundred $

A couple searches told me that was what to look for and I dint have it but it spins both wheels equally on dirt. I might of got both wheels to spin in the driveway but didn't want to tear up the driveway or my new dires

If it doesn't say it as an option on your window sticker, you don't have it.

Did a burnout today on cement and two black marks. Is it possible it got left off the window sticker

Always possible stickers can be wrong.
