pullin toy hauler
 

Just bought 97 dodge with an automatic tranny and truck drives just fine. When i hooked up my 23' toy hauler the truck seemed powerless. running 55 mph until i hit the hills and then 35 is the max speed. I have put a K&N air filter :U:, new fuel filter and lift pump. The EGR pipe does have a crack in it could this be a problem for that much power loss:humm:? i want to cap this off since it is only a california regulation. the truck is stock:booo:.

streight pipe and do some forum searching for cheep pump mods. like plate, wastgate, afc and timing

Any crack in the intake or exhaust will hurt the trucks performace to some degree. Like you said block it off and get a different plate and boost elbow and you should gain about 100ish hp for free if you do the mods yourself.

Good to go. I plan on cutting out the muffler and sticking a straight pipe in its place. I have heard and studied up on these automatic transmissions and they dont hold up to the torque. i just bought this truck for cheap so i could steal the motor and put it in my 89 GMC.:U:

AND IF YOU DO MUCH MORE THAN STATED YOU DEFINATELY NEED TO GET GAUGES PYRO,TRANNY,BOOST GOOD LLUCK:U:
