Hello all:
I'm new to DML also and have enjoyed the enthusiasume displayed by the
members. Anyway my thought is that you have gotten some throttle body
problems and maybe your thermostat is to low, 180 is best. I have a 97 5.2l
CC with 3.55 gears with ONLY a K&N air filter replacement for the stock
unit. I eat all stock 5.9l Rams and most modified chevy's and fords. Love My
DAK!!!!!
Good luck too ya!
Michael N.
