noobie here.....

just baught this Dodge Truck as it is it has a VA box on it i do not plan on modifying this truck in any way (i said the same thing about my stock Jeep 4 years ago (now it is sittin on 42&quot; tires with a custom designed suspendion by me)
anyway the truck has 74,000 miles on it with a recently replaced tranny from the *********** under warranty. i am planning on adding the fuel pressure gauge because of the horror stories ive read about on this BB. i am using this truck as a daily driver and to haul my Jeep arround (8-9K trailer) to wheel.

a) should i leave the VA box on it i dont want to f-up the tranny... i can hardly take off from a stoplight without spinning the rear pass side tire (which is balding more and more everyday)

b) it appears that the boost incerase out of the VA box has the wrong plug on it and is not hooked up what gives ?

c) can i get a 3 gauge pod for the pillar if i have an exhisting speaker there

d) i am getting right at 500 miles per tank (27 gal at fill up) is this bad - avg - good - great ??

A) The VA should be fine for your tranny. If you add any injectors, you may be in trouble...
B)Sounds like it might possibly be a VA for a different year truck? ???
C) Yep, lots of vendors sell them for trucks with tweeters. I got mine from Piers Diesel.
D) Sounds good to me, especially for an Auto! ;D That's 18.5mpg!
