well how about this we checked it out today drive side has a burn in the plug wire (accel wires they sag kinda low ) one had burned on the manifold . but theres no problem coming rom the drive side , the passenger side is the one making the noise . and the coil; is mounted there . so he's bout to do new plugs , new wires , and a msd coil if they make one .

also how come you dont ever hear about eletric fan swaps on rams . would it be a good seat of the pants gain .

I've heard of e-fan swaps on Rams, got one myself, and I think it's worth while.

Yes, you will get a big SOTP gain, be sure to do get a big fan though to cool the 5.9 (I say this while still running the crappy clutcher, lol).

Yeah, I think a tuneup may just sold all his problems. The way the engine fires it may be the burnt wire causing the issue for sure.

There are underdrive pulleys for the 5.2/5.9. The gear swap will help out ALOT . Hooker headers makes headers for the 5.2 I believe. Does he have a M1 intake?
