Unrelated answer: BG 44K (In the gas tank) and BG FI Cleaning (Needs the
tool for it though). Does a VERY nice job on cleaning the combustion
chamber, fuel system, injectors, and piston tops (use it at work almost
every day).
Haven't looked at the V6 engines that closely, but the older LA gaskets fit
the newer Magnum V8's. Might be worth a look on the V6 gaskets. On the
intake bolts, latest TSB from DC is to reuse them, but we still ask for new
bolts. Reason being is that the old ones corrode and sometimes snap on
reuse. Get a new set of intake bolts to be safe.
On the trans fluid: Mopar uses ATF+3 or ATF+4. If you're going to flush
out the old trans and put new fluid in it, use ATF+4.

Subject: DML: Intake/Belly Pan Gaskets
Might dive in and do these this weekend, have a few quick questions. 1. Do
the magnum and pre-magnum engines use the same intake to head gasket? I
have a set laying around I would like to use. 2. Is it best to just use a
gasket maker on the belly pan, or just the gasket itself, or a combination
of both? 3. Intake bolts; is it really necessary to replace them, and if it
is, any problems using hardware store bolts? That'd be a lot cheaper!
Unrelated question: is there any better product out there for cleaning out
the top end of a motor than the GM Top End Cleaner? Sea Foam maybe?
Another unrelated question: saw someone mention something about the
transmission fluid types, Dextron 3 vs 4. I've seen both stated as the
reccomended fluid. Which is right? I used 3...
Unrelated note: Duals are on, sounds great, looks awesome!
