Took the Dak to work because it's that time of the month for the CRX (she gets fatal electrical problems). After selling a couple oil companies to fill the truck with gas, I took her out to an...

My fuel economy beater is a CRX, so I have involuntarily learned a lot about Hondas lately. With the EG Civic/del Sol there's two basic motors he could be running.
First is the D engine. This is...
That driver's door was the Dakota informing me in no uncertain terms that my minivan driving days were over. I had the truck for less than a month, thought I'd be a boss and come out of some corners...
As much as I'd like to make fun of my buddy for having a hard time keeping the headlights pointed forward, it was genuinely tricky to keep the thing balanced. My differential, which is limited-slip...
This may or may not be relevant, but in a previous life when I drove a Ford minivan, at one point one of the exhaust manifolds found its way too close to a piece of subframe (you know, the recall...
Shyit, that's about a second faster than my truck, and that's with the passenger seat and tailgate chilling in the pits. I suspect my motor's a bit tired. :(
Could be worse, at least it's in a...
At this point, I would just like to play the 426 card, and let this conversation continue in the comfort of its shadow.
:jerry:
I have Raptors on the truck already, 255/50 in the back and 235/55 in the front. My balljoints have been hurting for a while (just got my new Moog Problem Solver's in the mail from RockAuto at a...
So, here's a question I've heard mixed answers about. On a fuel injected vehicle, is there any disadvantage to going with a throttle body that's "too big"? I imagine it would make tip-in more...
My truck is actually white, it only LOOKS red because of the Doppler Shift.
Frankly, if I had a throttle body spacer for a Dakota that I wanted to sell, I'd stand outside the local Wal-Mart and offer it to passing people before I posted it here. TB spacers seem to be in the...
About at what point does a 4bbl make more sense than a 2bbl? That's something I've been wondering about for my "eventually" build.
So, I've been reading about small-block Mopars for some time now, trying to gain as much knowledge as possible before I do something stupid to the Dakota. One thing that didn't sink in until, like,...
I just remembered something to fan the flames here a little bit. I read that the small-block Mopars have a funny pushrod angle, supposedly caused by their lineage from the old poly-head A blocks. ...
I always kind of wanted a Ram R/T since they started selling them, but I've always been WAY too poor for that kind of thing. I have a hard enough time affording the Dakota (yes, that means gas). ...
God dammit, now you guys have me wanting to throw away my 360 and get a 340! :D
D/A when I made my 15.181 run was -256ft. That was around 9:00pm in October though.
So, this is something I've been wondering about. Of course we know the basics, like that the Chev is super common, the Ford is super compact, etc. I want to hear your guys' opinions on which is the...
Hey guys. So I was watching some superstock videos today on YouTube, because I've been having trouble with asthma and can't do anything else. I guess now I know how my truck feels with all that...
"R/T? That's a 4.7, right?"
"No, 5.9"
"That thing's got a 360?! Jesus!"
I also witnessed two gas station attendants (welcome to Oregon) arguing about whether my Dakota would be faster than a...
On the subject, how difficult would it be to drop in an XIV-2220? :jester:
If you already have a tuner, then it's $250 for unlimited stage 1 custom tunes (stage 1 being recommended for N/A builds, stage 2 for forced induction.) $365 gets you the device and the tunes.
My TV died a few weeks ago, so yesterday I went onto Craigslist and found a used one for $20. When I got there, I was glad we decided to take the Dakota instead of my buddy's Saturn, because this...
Okay, so here's another question. How important would an ignition upgrade be, given the rest of the engine mods here?
The way my dad always described it, a Mopar should always sound like "Plymouth-Plymouth-Plymouth-Plymouth" at idle. And when you stomp it, it keeps saying "Plymouth," just really fast until it's an...
