These Mopars seem to only like their OEM sensors. I broke my OEM crank sensor on my 02 Ram 1500 with the 5.9 Magnum. I replaced it with an AutoZone Dorman sensor. The truck ran and drove fine... Until you were at a traffic light. The engine would rev up and try to pull through the brakes! Then, the RPMs would go below idle, then stall the engine. It would take a few minutes to start again. Then it would drive normal again... Until the next traffic light. I took the Dorman sensor out, glued and safety wired my OEM crank sensor back together, plugged it in and it worked like new! My truck is STILL running perfectly 4 years later with that mended mopar sensor! 💪

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

and yeah, I'm sure you know by now, but you DO have to let it recalibrate, or relearn if you replace the TB.

[@billcat1840]

Polished mine, shaved the throttle plate screws. Trimmed the S bracket. Dont use TB spacers....they are restrictive at higher RPM...I use an old VC200 performance computer to check my mods on a dedicated strip of road.

[@dzamrzam]

Thanks for the channel changed out shocks today man what a difference didn't think about it until watching you do it.

[@MM_in_Havasu]

I use a ported throttle body on my 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T, works great and gives it a real snappy and crisp throttle response. Idle was kind of floaty like that for awhile, but that went away after uploading a 91 octane tune in the PCM and changing my electric fan parameters to accommodate the 180 degree thermostat I installed last year. It just hauls ass now and idles much smoother.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Hell yeah 💪🤟

[@Bulkshit]

Much better than the last one I watched. I installed a V-8 tb on my 02 Dakota 6. .10 over,milled heads and, a MP computer. I couldn't tell the difference. Maybe it's the manifold. Why don't you try it again without the medium riser? PS: I'll definitely watch more of your videos.

My buddies 02 Dakota R/T has bored t-body and Hughes intake runs great.👍

[@mrhonor9802]

Normally with these Magnum engines when you change out idle air control valve you have to make sure it's the same length as your stock one because you can adjust your idle air control valve because I change up my auto air control valve once and I did not set it right so my truck had like a cruise control affect just like how you're having so just turn down your idle air control valve and that should solve your problem

[@Blazinpj22]

My brother struggled to get his TBI 350 to work with a larger TBI unit for years till I pointed out to him that ports on the aftermarket intake were too small for his bigger TBI. Factory size is like 1.875 and the bigger TBI had 2 inch ports. We ended up boring out the intake ports and port matched the intake to the heads and that thing woke up so well it loosened the nut on the pinion. Ended up destroying that rear end but we learned from that experiance.

[@stunnasam21]

Do you remember CFM rating on the FRP throttle body? Hughes has one listed just over 1000 CFM but no listed size on the bore, and it's $100 more

[@chrispenny7599]

Looking forward to seeing the build and the outcome! Keep up the work you're doing

[@michaelpeterson4348]

I know this is an old post. The numbers actually do add up because camshaft quite a bit smaller in a 5.9 verses 5.2.

[@deionlamb8828]

I got one of those on my Dakota and it did make a difference.

[@kraus2013]

Did u have to tune it?

We have also drilled the guides out of the tps, added washers to the bolts and ohmd them to .75 (turned them up) them tighten it

[@transam8607]

I'm just wondering after drilling the tps guides what wore the result like idle and full throttle. Did it effect idle?

[@onefastlife5017]

@@transam8607 it doesn’t affect either one , it will just give it better tip in acceleration, tricking the computer basically

I do appreciate ya. I have a bone stock 318 Dakota that I'm looking to get alil more out of. Prob gonna do the intake, TB, headers maybe a cam. More interested in tuning also. Thanks for sharing.

[@shirleydarling2819]

Thank you for that video. That has given me some idea's. For my 97 Dakota 5.2L Mag. That I just bought for $600

[@davidcowdery5216]

It's for sure going to be worth while with the cam, put a set of electronic cut outs just behind headers great for the D strip.🤔🤗😎

[@BoostedMotorsports]

That’s what I was thinking of doing! 😈

[@onefastlife5017]

Does not help ! These things aren’t old muscle cars ! They run better with 3” exhaust front to back , you can run an X pipe but that’s more for open road racing, if that was the case everyone would be running cut outs on these things !

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

I wonder if just cleaning up and modifying the stock TB would help, seems like a LOT of extra metal is in the way of clean air induction.

[@oxidizedolive]

Did this on my 3.9L last year, and the hissing is pretty loud until you get past 3500rpm. It did take a bit for the throttle sticking to stop, but unlike your model, I had to manually adjust the idle rpm on mine when I first got it. It was idling at 1300 before adjusting it. I still need to do a tune on mine, as I have a short ram intake, throttle body, headers, and full MagnaFlow exhaust, but I have to wait until I can replace the transmission. I hate the stock weak-ass 42REs. 😒

[@TheLoverofhalo]

Idk why everyone hates the 42re. All you gotta do is get a shift kit and a tune to rev it out to 5200rpms. My lil 3.9 makes about 220hp and it rips like hell. Never had any trans problems yet. I especially love the short first gear of the 42re.

[@SnookTuned]

My 46re is awesome with a shift kit

[@treewino]

@@TheLoverofhalo what all have done to your 3.9? I've got a 2001 and1 I've done pretty much every bolt on mod I know of including h&s 1.7 roller rockers, superchips tune, shorty headers, cat delete, V8 t-body, cai,180 t-stat, hotter coil and better wires and im just guessing I might be at 200 hp, I'm also getting 20mpg on the highway. I'm about to rebuild the tranny and install a shift kit and I seriously want to put 3.92 gears and a supercharger or turbo on it. Any suggestions?

[@TheLoverofhalo]

@@treewino I don't have it anymore but before I sold it, I made custome 1 7/8 longtubes from a Dakota rt... I just cut the first runners off and welded the holes shut, took a 360 magnum carbourated intake and cut the two front runners off and welded plates in place so it'll fit the 3.9 (the 3.9 318 and 360 magnums all share the same block/heads/intake just without first two cylinders). I ran a Holly 4 barrel and did away with the fuel injections. Cylinders were bored over 40, flat top Pistons, custom cam, 360 magnum valve springs, and 1.7 rockers. Msd ignition. After all said and done, made about 400hp. Had the 42re rebuilt, did a manual valve body with a B&M wratchet shifter. Did a locker rear end with 4.11 gears. Truck was amazing but the suspension and body was bad so sold it.

[@treewino]

@@TheLoverofhalo welding runners is a little above my pay grade but I don't mind turning a wrench or two. So I'm guessing you swapped the rear carrier to get the 4.10 gears? Btw I have a ram instead of a Dakota. Edit: Oh yeah, what cam did you use?

[@blackbeardlivesagain]

Sounds awesome! Got me wanting to upgrade.

[@brownwrench]

PDFs of MP Magnum porting templates are available. I did it and it worked great.

Disconnect the battery. It resets the computer. I'm sure you know that. You're more knowledgeable then myself with automotive mechanics. I noticed a change for the better when I disconnected the battery.

[@heathcalvert1319]

Where can I pick that bored out throttle body at

[@davidledford6482]

i allways thought, do things one at a time..run stock motor with slicks for baseline times,if you could find a strip open, i hope throttle body helped,an gas doesnt get hung up,i heard it accelarate an shift, mine is faster accelarating an harder tire barking shifts,an all i know has timing chip,or computer an k an n,an maybe stiff springs, not sure what else..but im for you, just be careful an you dont wanna learn the hard way about changing 3 things at once,especially if your not real positive,it worried me about idle jumping up like that, whew.. but yes, love it,an dont lose patience,an good luck,i wish i knew what all was done to mine,its a screamer,an shifts hard an fast...and a partial mystery why, lol..o well...wheres that jazzy, shes simply the coolest man..good luck..

[@DarienDrakee]

If you go as far as having it bored out, why not mill out the middle piece and just have a rectangular plate in the middle ? 🤷‍♂️

[@leakyjeep5.9]

I disconnect the battery and connect the two cables together for 30 sec or so.
