I just bought a 97 V10 Regular Cab 5Speed with 104000 miles on it. It's completly stock and i'm looking to do some work to it. Can anyone recomend a
performance module for it? I plan on putting an exhuast on it along with a throttle body spacer and maybe a intake system? Has anyone else done this and did it
seem to make a diffrence? Also has anyone installed a limited slip or posi in their dana 80 as I'm sure you know without one its pretty helpless in two
wheel drive in the rain or snow?

Don't waste your money on a throttle body spacer, they can actually hurt performance. If your catalytic convertor hasn't been replaced, check into that
are deleting it altogether if you don't have smog inspection. Maybe a set of headers, low restriction large single exhaust a cold air intake can help, but
i think a home made setup can be made for much less and may even work better.If you can locate a mopar performance pcm, I'd use that or ge ta SCT tuner as
a few people have had good results with them. There is another thread on here where a guy is going to post dyno results, so stay tuned (no pun intended lol).

I had a Detroit locker in the rear of my last Ram and was very happy with it. I plan to just put another one in this truck at some point. It is an autolocker
so it locks up when you need it to and rarely gives you any problems on the highway. One time I had it fail to unlock while I was making a sharp turn (low
speed) and then when it did unlock, it sounded like a grenade went off in my rear axle. It doesn't hurt anything, but it sure will get everybody's
attention. Anyway, that only happened once and I did drive in rain/snow/ice without any issues. The Detroit is basically bulletproof. I highly recommend it for
the rear axle.
And then I agree with everything Captain Camel Toe said. -Danny Gaston

Thanks for your reply. I was wondering where you can find any information on those computer modifications? Thanks
