Great Scott fellers!!! Don't you realize this would be a perfectly normal and highly informative thread over at the Fode Dismal site?
I found my spark plugs. All 16 of them.

I would have responded earlier, but was on hold with Direct TV cancelling my subscription to the comedy channel.

As you all know (almost all of you), I am looking for new tires. I can see right now that all the Dodge Dealers you all are going to do NOT know anything about the new technology out there. At most of the tire shops I went to, they use helium in the tires. The reason they do this is because on the heavy trucks (like ours), it reduces the curb weight by 3000#. For dually's it reduces curb weight of the truck by 4500# (This is with 265-75 R16 tire size. It will be more or less for other sizes). In turn, this increases the fuel mileage that we will see by 60-85%, depending on what position your power seat is in. For those of you without power seats, your increase will be 50-75%. They could not tell me why the difference between the 2.
Keep in mind, they only do this for trucks that weigh 6800# or more. Otherwise, they will be too light, and traction becomes an issue. No matter how aggressive your tire tread is.

Thread from the dead!!! (laughs)

Keep it going guys, surely there is more... tips and tricks unbeknoweth to the general public. For instance, I went to specially made ceramic muffler bearings and gained 150 ft/lb of torque due to less drag.

Be sure to purge the summer air in the engine to winter air or you'll get condensate in your oil!

I bought a Cummins Lic. plate for my front bumper. I can't wait for it to get here.
What kind of added performance should I expect from this mod.

my dealer told me to run extra helium in the spare tire to help with my front wheel drive diesel ram. he told me it will improve traction during hard launches.
