oldsoundguy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Only problem with the rebuild is they don't replace the torque converter.

ParDeus Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Birch is heavier than mdf. Google it if you don't believe me. Get the trans fixed and put a lower rear gear in it, electric fan, etc and problems solved. Btw, it is very, very hard to collect reliable fuel mileage data. If your compression ratio doesn't require 93 (it doesn't), it is a waste and you will get WORSE mileage. It has less energy density, and worse vaporization characteristics. Always use the lowest octane that prevents detonation. 93 also will want more timing which will mean more pumping losses/negative torque. Use the standard, cheap plugs.

hammiethebasshead Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 buying a toyota. yes get a late 80's rebuild the engine. mine got as good or better mileage than my car i think it was around 25-30 mpg. In a 4x4 truck but seriously listen to the guy above me he knows his stuff once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem. You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiKaZz74 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 so as of now i will do the trans repair anyways. ill look into a lower gearing. by lower u mean a higher number or a lower number? i think its like 3.73 now. so go up to like 4.10 or down to like 2.xx. am i understanding that right? the fan ill look into a bit more. and the higher octane gas i was gonna do evry few oil changes just run a tank and a can of seafoam through right before a change. the gas i use is atleast 15% ethanol because thats all there is in iowa where we fill up unless i wanna get raped and pay 30 or more cents/gal to get the no ethanol version. so id run down to e fill up with a good tank of like vpower and seafoam it then change oil and go back to normal gas. it seems like a good idea to me to clean everything out but it might not be. so as i said. Trans fix look into gear change ( will it affect my towing? ) look into electric fan stay with normal gas and the one ill be working on this summer is GET A NEWER VEHICLE! i have a few in mind so far that are repo or used vehicles locally. truck will become the show vehicle and winter/tow truck. that all sound good? thanks everyone for helping and being patient with me 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...
KiKaZz74 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 how about plugs? and how often should a tune up be done? also get a k&n filter. not gonna worry about a cai at this time 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...
justin0943 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 how about plugs? and how often should a tune up be done? also get a k&n filter. not gonna worry about a cai at this time get e3,Bosch, or ngk as for changing every 90k miles or once a month just check the plugs to make sure their not gung up and make sure their their nice an clean. and for the air filter do this the same thing that I did to mine 02 dodge ram 1500 reg cab 3rd gen 2 sundown sd-2 d4 soundstream rub1.2500 amp all sky high car audio-fuse,fuse holder,wire,ring lugs and rca flex tech box design by Joe X supension-mcgaughys 2in drop spindal ,western chassis 6in flip kit,buddy custom c-notch 04 5.7l hemi motor swap and made it an slt eletric everthing youtube channel-http://www.youtube.c...43?feature=mhee http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/190882-02-dodge-ram-1500-3rd-gen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParDeus Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Go to 3.07 or a 2.73. It will suck towing, nut it'll still get it done. Just get cheap, regular plugs. Grind the ground strap back until it unshrouds the electrode. Like I said, 1oz of acetone per 10-15gal will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Go to 3.07 or a 2.73. It will suck towing, nut it'll still get it done. Just get cheap, regular plugs. Grind the ground strap back until it unshrouds the electrode. Like I said, 1oz of acetone per 10-15gal will help. It's a 4x4 so re-gearing will cost double. But as you stated, 3.07/3.08 would be great. Had 3.08's in my Silverado, hated them at first but there's something sweet about doing 70 in 2nd gear...and barely turning 2 grand with cruise at 75 in 4th/OD.

KiKaZz74 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 So regearing will I just have to do back? Rately sees 4wd but front are cv joints not solid acle if that makes a difference. Rough cost of what it will vost to regear? And justin can you link to that? That would be perfect to get a second bat up front in airbox spot 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...
