First, I own a '99 Ram 1500 with a 3.9. I know the 3.9 is definitely not the best engine on the market, but it what I've got. Second, I know this is a Dakota page, and I apologize for bringing a Ram into it.
Getting right to the point, I want a little more power, at least enough for 5th gear to get me down the road. 2 mods that will probably be in my future are a K&N Aircharger and a hotter coil. I live in the sticks, so the Aircharger won't cause any trouble. I want pulleys, but I don't know which ones to get, and I would really like a 3 pulley kit (crank, alternator and water pump) if possible. Any suggestions?
I've heard that putting a V8 throttle body on the V6 can do wonderful things, but I've also heard that it can kill torque. Which is it?
I've got about 110K miles on my engine and it's been through a lot, so major mods without a rebuild are out. Do the options about sound about right, or am I just spitting into the wind? And are there any other mods I might be able to consider, without rebuilding the engine?
