OK, I know that's an oxymoron but you get the drift.
It's the '07 in my sig. She is almost touching 99k on the ticker and...knock on wood, she hasn't had anything major go wrong. I should leave well enough alone.
I have retired the girl from DD to Sunday goin' to meetin' and towing. I have a 31 foot tt, a 16' flatbed, a 16 stock trailer and a 12k dump trailer. I am wanting to make her more of a tow monster than what she already is, and have some guts too for when the dodge boys show up at church, lol.
Right now I am gathering up the usual array of parts. egr delete, head studs, and all of the associated gaskets, hardware, and up graded parts to go along. My mileage has been suffering for some time now (has dropped 3-4 mpg), probably a couple of years at least so I am going to do what I can with the tunes and ficm tuning but if my heads prove to be OK, I am thinking of sending the sticks to Warren to have them massaged.
My questions are; Should I go with the 155/30s or would the money be better spent on 155/stock with the upgraded solenoid? Which will yield the best power, mileage, and egts? Will the stock compressor be enough? If not, would a Wicked Wheel or PDR billet wheel be enough to lower egts and clean them up or would I be better served to save up for a Powermax, Barder, or KC turbo?
I am hoping to get the ball rolling this month but if I can't get it done in an expeditious manner it may have to wait til fall. Anyway, I am trying to get a plan together and not go at it half...baked we'll say.
Thanks in advance,
