- 3.9l v6 magnum
I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 regular cab, short bed, with the 3.9l V6 magnum engine. Now that I have given you some information, I'm gonna ask for you guys to share some of the expert knowledge you possess. I'm going to list a few plans I have for the truck and questions concerning said plans.<br />
1. I want to replace my dash first and foremost. but after I replace it will it just crack again? Are there alternatives to the original dashes( as I expect it will just crack again)? And if not what can I do to prevent cracking?<br />
2. Now performance. There aren't many aftermarket upgrades for the 3.9l v6. So should I swap it for a 5.2 or a 5.9 from the same year model? Will it bolt directly? Will it even fit? Will I need to swap the drive shaft?<br />
The exauhst will either be a thrush or simple straight pipe.<br />
3. Lifts. can you give me some quality manufacturers and advice about tire size?<br />

Thank a veteran every chance you get.<br/>
