1999 Dodge Dakoda 4x4 5.2 Automatic
Between idle and 3000 rpms it's a pig.
It's been like this since new.
Dodge told me this is how it's suposed to perform.
Does anyone know if this is true?
Is there anything I can do to get better performance from idle to 3000 rpm?
Thanks

get some 4.56 gears and that will put your truck in a much higher RPM range all the time thus giving you more power.

Gears really wont solve your problem. They'll give you low end power but freeway speeds with only 31's your RPM would be way too high. Try the bolt ons i.e. airintake, throttle body spacers, new exhaust etc.
