Q: i have a 2003 1500 qc 4x4 which is only about two weeks from the dealer. i get about 13 on the highway. i hope it get better when the mileage goes up a little. i love the power the hemi makes. i can pull a 6000 lb tractor on a 1500 lb trailer with no prob. i get about 10mpg when pulling that. its worth it to me. copper my 94 v-6 dakota is tired and wants to live elsewhere. i like the new ram equipped with the 5.7l hemi but know little about it. ill haul next to nothing but ass and it seems willing for such work. any downsides or recommendations im looking in the 21k price range.... tia.... .

investigating installing one of these. they claim 5-15hp gain through less air restriction and greater flow with up to 5mpg greater gas mileage. includes everything including the tube to reinstall the air intake sensor. ok here is my question. after examining the proposed area of modification this intake sensor is a temperature sensor not a flow sensor. so how will installing this mod improve my hp and gas mileage in my mind i am thinking ok i get cooler air which hits the sensor which measures cooler air and tells the computer to make the gas mixture richer. alright this would explain the higher horsepower but not the fuel mileage. so what am i missing here thanks in advance. - .
