alaskanzx5 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 this is just one of the places i know that sell the parts to do it. its spectra parts mostly but they hold up. could use any filter you want on it. as long as the tubing doesnt melt and is of the same shape/design as other name brand companies you will see similar results as the higher end companies. and a link to parts. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Performance/Intake-Tube/_/N-25n3 video's to show what people did to do a diy cai. https://www.google.com/?safe=active#q=spectra+diy+cold+air+intake&safe=active&tbm=vid and an extra link for info https://www.google.com/?safe=active#q=how+to+homemade+cold+air+intake+97+dakota&safe=active t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Quiet Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 If you have a MPG gauge, keep an eye on it as you drive, learn to slowly accelerate. Let off the throttle twice as far from red lights and stop signs as you normally would. You're gonna stop anyway, why waste fuel getting there? If you have tiptronic/shifttronic or a manual, shift earlier. Find the route to work that has the flattest terrain with the fewest stops. Even if it's 20% farther you could save fuel. the tornado is bullshit. Get LT or even passenger car tires for your truck if you can find them. Off-road tires are meant for off road and aren't very efficient on the highway. Get rid of dead weight. get a emergency inflator kit and skip the spare. Get rid of the carpet in your trunk. Build sub enclosures out of Birch instead of MDF. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanzx5 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 bad wheels bearings can be an issue to. could look at doing light weight pulleys instead of an electric fan. still reduces rotating mass. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

alaskanzx5 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Oh yeah, losing gas for sure there. Od is the gas saver and slipping is a loss of gas. Every time it slips it's just burning up gas with out moving the truck anywhere. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

oldsoundguy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I had a 99 dodge diesel with an auto. The trans are fine but the torque converters suck. I did a stock rebuild kit, aftermarket valve body and a billet converter. Ran perfect and handled a lot of torque. I did the work myself do it was around 1800 but if I would of had a shop do it I was looking at 3000. 80prs Arc Audio Xdi 1200.6 (using active crossovers) Freaking awesome amplifier Incriminator IA 10.1 Focal PS 130v 5.25 (doors) 4" Faital pro Neo (kick panels) 3" Faital pro Neo and focal tweets( dash) DC Audio level 3 12" custom box designed by joex built by me AGM front, XS 750SE batteries rear DC 180 alt 99 Toyota Tacoma extra cab http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/179476-my-small-build-turned-into-the-ongoing-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiKaZz74 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 the trans rebuild was like 700 but that was also 10 years ago... hopefully i can get it in and have the bands tightened. whatever that means. a few of the teachers at my school in the auto shop were telling me about it. i just want better response and gears to shift nicely and not clunk and try to find the right one. im not into the more advanced engine and trans work so ill let a shop do that crap My SPL to SQ Build Log Vehicle:1997 Dodge Dakota Ext Cab 4x4 2009 Dodge Journey SXT5.2L V8 Magnum 3.5L V6 Stock AltEquipment: Headunit- Alpine CDE-147BT Mids/Highs Amp- JL Audio G6600 Class AB 6 Channel Sub Amp- Hifonics BRZ1700.1D @ 2 Ohms Taramps DSP3000.1D Sub- Hertz Hi Energy 12" HX300D SounDrive SDA3 12 Tweeters- Rockford Fosgate Power Series Silk Domes Hertz Hi-Energy Mids- Dayton Audio Reference 4" Full Range Drivers Midbass- Silver Flute 6.5" Hertz Hi-Energy 6.5" Processor- MiniDSP 2x4 RCA- 6 channels of SounDrive HF series Wire- EB Flex 2/0 -Member of Team SounDrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
