Yeah I don't get it.
... they want EGR valves to limit NOx emissions which allegedly makes acid rain.
... they make you use catalytic converters which results in more CO2.
... they now are finding that nitrogen in the atmosphere HELPS plants grow and suck up the CO2.
... they complain there's too much CO2
so to me, it would make sense to get rid of EGR valves so that there'd be more nitrogen in the air for the plants to use so they could suck up all that CO2 the Eco-freaks made us make by requiring catalytic converters.

Okay well I've driven it a good 500 miles since I've done it all. Averaging a hand calculated 21.3mpg with those 35x12.50s and 5.29s. Not bad at all. Thats wide open throttling it everywhere. My only complaint is that @ wot in 5th, down hill with a good tailwind, I'm only able to hit 65mph for short periods of time. I think it'll be better with some 37s.
Does great on the trails. Though I'm definitely gonna weld the rear on Monday...

Though i think the speed thing is definitely a result of the low gearing rather than lack of power. I can hold 55mph up a decent sized hill in 5th without having to downshift.
Definitely need to throw some bigger meats on there. Just ain't wanna have to buy some longfields from brian this very moment. MY BEER MONEY! Lol...

Yeah, it alive and wheelin!
I'm actually surprised as hell that I'm getting as good fuel economy as I am. I think once I throw some bigger meats on there I may see a small increase. Because then I won't have to WOT it all over the place to see any kind of speed.
Also I'm thinking about taking my train horn off the dodge and putting it on the yoter. I dunno...

the loose nut on the bolt nearest the philips head screw on your dist. cap. That one! Doesn't that bolt go through the timing cover?



....doesn't that also torque down the timing cover at the top corner?
