you know, if you hadn't called me a moron in the other thread we could have saved this hostility for other things.

What's up with the 'hick' comment? You start to come accross as semi decent, then blow it with more un-necessary name calling. What grade are you in??

Okay, truce. And if it makes you feel any better...I bought the Spacer when I first got my R/T...it's been a useless paperweight for almost a year and a half now. This was before Bernd's Speedtweaks tips and tricks section.
Take the spacer off and you may actually notice a gain. I did.

i think it does shift smoother without it...lol..and that noise it makes is annoying...i almost got an r/t actually, but i wanted 4wd and it was 25000 instead of 22000, honestly i still cant decide if i made the right choice or no cause the snow sux w/o 4wd, but the V6 is not powerful enough for 4100 lbs...ugh...black 4.7 CC 4x4 is what i wanted...but no we'll stock up on V6s that get 14 mpg when your careful and 11 with a lead foot..

and that poweraid +1-3 mpg what BS

i want to sell it but no one is dumb enough to buy it

Get the Durango R/T. 4WD and a lot more power. I can't believe your gas milage is that shi**y. That's exactly what my gas milage is with my semi modded R/T. changed your plugs lately?

I've gotten 15 before, but its only rated 14/18, and since its a V6 I push hard and i do a lot of stop and go driving. I am VERY hard on the accerator, though. It seems to run fine so i assume its my fault. maybe it is the plugs, ill ask the dealer about it but i think they'll say its normal. Long Island is terrible on gas milage, I'm gonna drive to NC, so we'll see how the milage is then. got to go to sleep now. nice talking with you.

Went out and did some more 0-60 runs, 8.5 being the best run. I think I need to work on the launch,trying to minimize wheel spin in 2nd gear.
I had my truck weighed and was surprised at the results. The info in the door put the weight at 5620-actual weight was 4680 with me and my nine month pregnant girlfriend. Before, anyone goes off on me-NO, I did NOT do any 0-60 runs with her in the truck.

Um I was looking at the title of the thread and reading your posts. The 4.7 can give you some butt kicking performance. However, its hard to overcome weight, gearing and drive train loss of power. The RC weighs in at 3600 lbs you couple that to a 4.7 with a 3.92 rear and the Dak is gonna giddy up and give some TR/T's a run for their money. Anything else will detract from that, CC's QC's, Auto, 4WD, AWD, 3.55. You wouldn't think ther would be that big of a difference in performance in the same line of trucks with the same engine, but a QC weighs amost 1200lbs more than an RC. I'm no truck guru, I just got lucky, the dealer had an RC 4.7/5sp/3.92 on the lot.

The RC 4.7/5sp/3.92 is the quickest package in Dodge trucks-really pisses the R/T boys off. I didn't do any mods until I got a G-tech and kept a full chonology of mods vs. performance on this thread: http://www.dodgedakota.net/boards/per/2106.html
Jeez faster than a boxter and almost as fast as a S500 MB. Let me see, at $15,900 I could buy 5 daks for the price of one MB and I can haul my futon in the back. I LOVE my Dak!
The '01 lightning does 0-60@5.8 my truck is quick but not that quick.

Yeah, she's still around! No, signs of getting married-got to buy stuff for my truck. She's okay with that-I've got a shotgun too. I drive like I have some sense when she's with me and she doesn't say anything.
According to the G-Tech, my HP is around 220 at the wheels. I'm going to do more runs and get an average. So far, I've got two runs with 216 and one with 220. They were on different roads on different days, temps around the same (30-35). But, I think those runs are pretty good indicators on where my trucks is now.

lilblackdak, no this isn't the Christian Coalition speaking. and as someone who leans a little toward the agnostic side, and one who has often battled with my own spirituality, I'd kick youre ass if you were standing in front of me for even comparing me to those political agenda, ultra right wing fundamendalist wackos!!

I'm just a hard working Paramedic who sees the the end results of broken families and illigitimate children everyday in the course of my duties.

I'm married with 2 beautifull little girls, and I realize how fragile the family unit is in this country now days.

It takes a boy to knock youre girlfriend up, But it takes a MAN to marry the mother of youre child.

And if you think I'm self righteous then you can kiss my ass!!!!

No sweat LiBlackdak, I did get a little intense.
anyway, I've got a 95 3.9 2wd 5speed and I'm fairly happy with my 0-60 times. But my first gear winds out too quick, and the long throw of the stick doesn't make for fast shifts, unless it's 3rd to 4th. I'm pretty good at that one.

The only mods I have are, 8mm wires, KN dropin, Dynomax, and a new clutch. Last time we went at it with a stopwatch it was somewhere in the 8's.

and if you won't kiss my ass, will you at least kiss my tailgate? :-}

You'all had me doubtin' my G-tech so I did some diggin' 6.2 0-60 is appropiate for 1/4 times of 14.6-14.8. It seems that the Dak is quicker than a stink load of cars check out this link
http://www.missouri.edu/~apcb20/times.html
As for the Lightnig Ford'S SVT rated it at 6.2 sec 0-60 for 1999-2000 which if you think about it is pretty high for a truck that runs 13's. the 2001 is rated at 5.8 sec. You can check it out at:

Ok time to end this:

Performance
The standard 3.9L Magnum V6 with 175 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque offers strong power with impressive fuel economy. With a 5spd, it was tested at 8.5s to 60mph ... not bad at all. But for true fun, try the Next Generation 4.7L Magnum V8 with 235 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Motor Trend tested the 2WD Quad Cab with a 0-60 mph time of 7.3s. Mighty impressive. And then there's the 5.9L Magnum V8 with 245 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque (or 250 hp and 345 lb-ft on R/T). Expect 0-60 mph in 7.0s - 7.4s.

OK you got me goin' on this, if you look at that list the 1981 Cadillac Sevil Diesel 0-60@21.0. So I go diggin': in 1980 GM is freakin' cuz they got these 4600 pound cars and gas prices were about $1.20 So they decide to put a 105 hp diesel engine with a 2.42 final drive ratio on it standard. What were they thinkin'! That would be like putting a civic engine in a quadcab and starting in second!
