well i opened the throttle up all teh way but cant really see any sensor therewhich side of the truck would i be looking towards to see it pretty close but actually a little safer for the man-made components. just make sure the engine is not running as you initially spray it in the throttle body. use a good amount then look for the sensor inside the manifold area; this is where you want to direct the next part. start the engine. *** dont get over enthusiastic with this part*****then only use very short bursts. youll notice the engine stall and black smoke will come out the tailpipe. if you spray it full out you can damage the o2 sensors. the cheapest o2 sensor is $73 so short bursts are in order. wait for the engine to smooth out between shots. after a dozen or so shots to the throttle body with the engine running shut it down and look for the sensor i told you about earlier. it should look clean. if not you can clean it some more or take it to a shop...... hope this helps joe howdy all i have a couple of strange questions/problems with my 3.9 dakota 2001 model... starting-it seems to take 4-7 seconds of cranking to starti have a ranger that starts within 2-3 seconds of turning the key.is this just the norm with the 3.9 engine i am just used to things turning over quicker.i changed the plugs and wires yesterdaywhich were quite worn hoping it would fix the problem but its still the samei really dont know if its a problem or if i am just impatient and used to other vehicles. another thingin reversewhen backing up slowlythe engine seems to run rough and even has stalled a few times.doesnt happen in forwardonly in reverselike the idle isnt high enough to keep the engine running. any ideas or comments thanks rob .

payload on the svt has typically been less than the srt. neither have much capacity. these trucks are made for speed not hauling. heres some specs on the 04s http//www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/pickup/16304072004forddodgetruck/specificationsoverview.html this compared to the 06 1500 http//www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/pickup/16305102006dodgeram1500/specsoverview.html take a look a dodges page www.dodge.com and go to the srt10. they say the payload is 900lbs. in the rc and the qc but towing capacity in the rc is n/a and 7500pounds in the qc. go figure. roy drager hi what difference is there between a quad cab 1500 5.7 hemi and the same truck with the v10 in it. will the srt only cope with a lighter load . a year or so ago i looked into buying a srt or a lightning. the deal at the timewas you couldnt put more than 500lbs in the bed and you couldnt tow anything. so i went for the lightning a real fun truck. this may have changed with the newer srts. roy .
