Performance electronics, like Mopar's performance computer, dual exhaust,
intake spacer, performance/type intake and filter, synthetic lubricating
fluids, MSD or comparable ignition system........and the one that will help
the most...........a light foot.........

Don't be silly, he's saying to drop all the un-used stuff off the side
of the truck while driving down the interstate.... You know, like
tires on diagnal sides (only needed when you stop if you can keep the
speed up and balance your load properly.....) The engine (only
needed for taking off or when some clutz hits the brake.....), The
passenger seat, the bed, the hood, the fenders, the bumper.... The
tailgate.... Actually, you'd save a lot of time just buying a sheet
of plywood, 4 of those coaster wheels that screw-on, and either a
large rubber band or a rope to tow from another vehichle to get up
speed to about 90 mph on the interstate.... Once up to speed, just
yell "Get out of the way you moron!" and wear leather, folks will
think your in the hell'sAngels.... Oh yeah, I almost forgot.... To
be street legal, you need to have a friend screw in your license plate
to your butt, and you better carry your registration papers and
insurance papers with you....

The transmission has nothing to do with the "fan".

Look at the cooling fan behind the radiator. Does it have a belt
running to it that connects to the other items on the motor? Or
is it electric and have wires running to a motor? If you have a
manual clutch on the fan run by the motor, then switching to an
electric fan setup will free up some HP and give you better economy.
It doesn't "add" hp....but you will feel more. Less work for the
motor = increased economy.

i don't think this guy is qualified to do any upgrades. if he can't even
figure out what a engine cooling fan is and if it has any relationship to
the transmission.

for the OP. keep the tires inflated properly, have a tune up and drive the
speed limit. take the savings from not buying a bunch of upgrades and buy a
few tanks of fuel.

I tend to agree with you.

On another note nunya...not sure if I asked you this before,
but do you play an online game called DFX by chance?

Just as an fyi... I'm a female if you can't figure it out by the nick name.
And any upgrades will be done by my husband. I was just looking for some
information.

ahhh, i wasn't paying that close of attention to the OP's name just the
topic. my advice stays the same though. mods may get you miniscule
increases in mileage but very seldom will they be big enough to warrant the
expense. good maintenance and driving habits are where the real savings are
at.
michael
 >> Stay informed about: upgrades for v6 magnum engine 

I'm getting about 15-20% increase with the fan setup.
