Just be careful, they have a habit of killing auto trannies. See if you can talk him into a new converter & valve body(good aftermarket ones).

Ya I know Dodge doesn't have the best auto trannies. Wish it was a manual, but I will definitely talk to him before I do anything to it.

If you have a 1st gen. truck (up to 1993) turning up your fuel pump will chew up your Getrag G360 manual transmission (I am on my second tranny now, and my truck is stock.)
Just a warning if you have an early ram with a cummins.

A little trick for the Getrags is to overfill them by 1qt.
It's supposed to help them live longer.

thanks for the info guys but the boss turned me down, he wasn't ready to start messing with one of his work trucks, he said the stack was enough. But I will keep working on him
