Can't believe I forgot about tuning. Stand alone of 400 bucks for a one time PCM flash.

Yeah, Gen 1s had V8s, just premags, available.

My bro is trying to pick up a 95 black 318 RC right now, if he does, his plans will quickly make my truck look like a Road/Turtle.

 

the edge is usually negated by the fact that Gen IIs don't run.

if you really want to know something about the automatics in these trucks then I suggest contacting Max (that's his username) on www.bionicdodge.com/forum/ he is very well informed and isn't an *******.

 

And.............Gen 2's can be converted to 5 lug by using Gen 1 front rotors, and swap rear ends (though some people seem to think the spring perch width is different??), cant imagine why, the Gen 1 and 2 are same except for hood, grille, front bumper, and radiator/core support. Anyways..........the manual trans are junk, all though I havent broken mine yet. Oh yeah........my Gen 2 in full street trim weighs 3450. I think the R/T's are about 700 lbs heavier.........so if every 100lbs lost is a tenth of a second in the 1/4 mile....................

 

It's a damn shame... but you're right

 

whoa dude, when did you finish the painting and reassembled? it's looking good!
