I was wondering how if any of you still have stock Dodge's.. I have an "01" Dodge 3/4 ton, Quad Cab, 4x4, Auto, 3.55's,Diesel. What I am wondering is- - My dodge doesnt get off the line fast at all.. really doggy. once I get up to about 20 or so it then seems to come to life somewhat.. Is this just normal till one does mod's to the rig.. Or do you think I may have another issue to tackle first? Looking for you thoughts..

 

I have an '02 3500 and it felt like the biggest slug on the planet until I got it upgraded... ;D <br><br>Tony

 

inefficient torque convertor and gearing

 

HERE YOU LOUD AND CLEAR...my 98.5 is the same truck and gears w/ auto...the truck is a dog off the line, really difficult to merge on highways too... (has 60k miles). i first thought something was wrong but all is OK...i'm ordering a fueling box within the next couple of weeks to combat this though.

 

yeah mine was a real slug off the bottom untill about 1800 rpm, then it picked right up ......deffinatly did not have the throttle reponse of my buddies 94 12 valver .........<br><br>but I got a comp and 275's and it's more like it should be now <br>..............<br>

 

My 2001.5 quad w/auto-3.55's was too, until I put the EZ on. Now will run like my old PSD did (reg. cab and 4.10's - about 1000 lbs lighter).

 

Thanks all.. Guess I will have to live with it for a while till I get some cash for upgrades..

 

Crappy TC+high (numerically low) gearing+turbo lag= Crappy off line<br><br>Crappy TC+high (numerically low) gearing+turbo lag+Comp= ;D

 

same boat as u r! got a 99 with 4:10's its a dog off the line put 275's in and its still a dog off the line but about 20ft she starts to come alive! but its still a big slow dodge! :P

 

I've got a '99 that's stock 'cept for the comp with no wire (an EZ+), and with a little power braking will break the tires loose.<br>On damp pavement it'll get sideways reeeeal quick.

 

shovelhead urs is a dually right? that is kewl if u get them to break loose!! its not a prob to get mine to take off its a problem to get me to stop!! lol just slow off the line i want my head to to be in the back seat like my dads old car i used to drive around 69 dodge dart swinger 340 450 little ponies 4:10 posi 4spd hurst shifter oh i could go on and on! maybe ill get mad and just got get a loan for 15K and c what i could do to my truck with that? any suggestions? ;D

 

I want to do the &quot;Tranny Thing&quot; and drop some DD2s in it.
Then &quot;I'll be finished&quot; : yeah.....riiiiiight.
I'm &quot;just&quot; looking for around 300-325 HP.
I DYNOed at 231 hp /468 torque with the &quot;EZ+&quot; and a K&amp;N.
My old 440 6-pack Cuda was 400hp 490tq.
It's amazing to get close to that with a 6 cyl. diesel in a 7000+# truck.
Coming home tonight through DC traffic, I came around the corner of 18th and H, jumped on it and was Dirt-Tracking half way down the block in a dually. ;D
I don't think the Goverment office drones approved.

 

My 99 is stock and it hauls ***-even w/camper. Its not gonna beat a muscle car off the line but it'l do70-80 on a hi-way merge......And thats here at altitude 6000ft plus.

 

what really amazes me is the 7000lbs truck!! thats alot of weight going 100mph and faster!! to what u said about thats all the farther u want to go LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sure!!!!!!!!!!!! ive got the bug!! big time just no money to do it with! heck i dont know how everyone does all this stuff with there trucks and still has any money for rent or house payment and so on! lol i dont even have a house yet!! :P

 

When I first put my EZ box on mine the first thing I did was a quick smoky powerbrake! ;D I did it at work and people couldn't believe it! I only did it once though since I know that dry pavement PBs kill a transmission. And if I remember correctly, I've heard that these transmissions don't hold up to well with more than stock power. I don't feel like buying a new trans yet!! I've got to tell you though, I see some people on here making huge power and I start to think how cool it would be............. 8)<br><br>Where does it end...............
