I've got a one week old '00 Dakota CC SLT+ 4.7L 3.92 with Anti-Spin Diff

Now I have Questions!

Here goes:

1. What kind of Differential would this have? People talk about 8 1/4's
alot. Would this truck still have an 8 1/4 diff? The axles tubes are
larger than my passenger car 8 1/4's.

2. What Auto trans is this? A-500? A-518? I've seen posts about dual
second gears and such... What's up with that?

3. What is the exhaust pipe diameter coming out of the Cat?

4. I've got wheel hop when I fry the rear hides. Never had this with a
Mopar leaf spring setup before. Is that why people talk about using spring
clamps? Whats up with that?

5. How do you change the gauge face, I've seen the white gauge faces and
such advertised, but how hard is it to swap the face sheet out?

6. Do the 4.7L have a different air intake than the 5.2's or 5.9's? That
is can I use the same fresh air, ram air, K&N, type setups?

Okay, that's enough for tonight... I'm sure I'll think of more tomorrow.
