Clearing any code .... is for those that are persistent. Having no codes at all... priceless. No wild vents... priceless. No rattles, no rust, everything works... youre golden.
I have the 5.2 in my truck and I’m not gonna lie to you,I’ve matted it more than I’d like to admit onto the redline with 230,000 on it and it hasn’t had a hiccup yet knock on wood
I have a 97 1500 with a 5.9\ 360 Magnum. I did shorties (headers) going to a 3 inch exhaust pipe. Cat delete to 2 super 44s. Its true dual exhaust. It runs good and its nice and loud. Gas mileage will suck the more you do, but the torque and HP will go up the more you do. I also did my spark plugs and wires all at the same time with a whole tune up.
Everything you listed should in theory improve your mileage. Most cars, but particularly these old trucks from back in the day really benefit from breathing better. Old exhaust systems were extremely restrictive.
I thought most of these trucks had a factory CAI on them. My '96 360 has one. P.S. Long tube headers will flatten out your Fuel/Air curve nicely. I will be long tube true duel cat deleting mine this spring.
Just let everybody know a stock5.9l Magnum normally comes with 290 horsepower with 365 torque but you can go buy a jegs crate performance motor that will do 310 in horsepower and 410 and torque and all they do is bore the cylinders over and put bigger pistons in I will remind you you will have to replace the timing covers so keep your old stock one just replace the seal in it I have done it after Jegs said it couldn't be done and it wouldn't work in my truck well I prove them wrong
Think if its your daily "work" truck.... beat it as if it's your money maker. If it's your restored perfect baby... drive it like your Grammy 90% of the time.... and 10% like you've robbed a bank.
You're 100% right about carburetors and TBI. That's where these will really shine. I'm going to have to beg to differ about them doing nothing for a MPI, though. You're certainly not going to realize the economy, horsepower, or torque gains you're going to experience with a carburetor or TBI, but I installed one on my 1996 Dodge Ram 5.9 Magnum and I could tell a slight difference. I'm excellent at telling a difference in mods when I'm familiar with a vehicle. It really helped when I started to pump some HHO into it, after that, but that can certainly be expected. Check this video of a 5.3 LS engine. There's a slight gain noticed. You are 100% right about your real gains coming from an addition to a carburetor or TBI, though. Most people probably wouldn't notice the gains on TBI. I'm just ry good at noticing differences between mods on vehicles I'm familiar with. Check this out. ua-cam.com/video/kKircA5kUQk/v-deo.html

Make sure your CV cable and Throttle cable are both tight, sounds like you aren't getting all the beans! Nice truck!

Nothing like toms refurb
I was thinking that the base 318, and 360 non sport off road package trucks mostly got the 3.55 gear sets but I could be wrong..
I would love to get into auto hauling with my 5 .9
Was your truck shifting weird or have any weird rpm ticks before you swapped the transmission??
Did it get better fuel mileage the same or worse
You need to adjust your kick down cable. It should kick down a gear and it didn’t
Damn I’m selling my wrx to get a 5.9 gas bc I need a truck and your 0-40 is the same as my 0-60 lmao
What exhaust system do you have on the truck?
Flowmaster Super 44s
Is the sound too loud or overwhelming when you're driving in a cab?@@truckshaw
Watch puttin headers on i put shorty headers on my 1999 ram 1500 sport the studs r gonna be a pain in the ass

Most companies will tell you that just so you spend your money with them. It's the oldest trick in the book.
no it doesn't
Not driving it right, Cool truck not going to hurt that 5.9 engine I have one beat the piss out of it
Same here, I drive the heck out of it. Been a daily driver for the pass 4 years and not a single problem with it.

You wasted your money on a throttle body spacer they do nothing for an mpi system would have to have a carb or TBI to see any effect
