tbone wrote if it were only the diesels i would agree with you but when you look at the complete list of ineligible vehicles it says something very different. which vehicles are you specifically referring to that are not included in the warranty program and have lower sales and/or higher repair incidents the warranty excludes the srt diesel vehicles sprinter and ram chassis cabs and some fleet/utility vehicles. the diesel trucks sell very well and have no need for increased incentives. same with the sprinter vans. they are selling like crazy. the srts are limited availability and rarely have had much in the way of incentives large rebates etc. .

joe i have built and driven many high performance vehicles in my life and the one thing i can say is that it is never simple nor inexpensive. today it is even more complex than 30 years ago. i can also state that the most effective mod is always cubic inches. high tech is expensive and the return is less effective than more inches. it is also safe to say that any money invested in performance must be considered lost financially. you will never realize the investment in increased sales price when changing vehicles. so my advice is to find a wrecked late model with a 5.9 buy it complete with gearbox wiring harness and computer and swap out the 3.9. it will be worthwhile both in performance and economy as well as affordable fun. steve i have a 97 dodge dakota i installed dual exhaust and was wanting to know if anyone knew of some simple power mods that can be done to give my weak 3.9 a little more power i saw a spacer that goes between the air intake and the intake manifold in summit catalog that claims a power increase has anyone in here ever installed one of those and recieved the claimed power increase would a hotter ignition coil help maybe thanks ! .
