And every Viper (car). Probably how the rumor in the OP got started.

Bump. B&M and SCT are gone, but the throttle body is still available. Had a couple bites, but they seem to have fallen through.

Update: BBK - sale pending B&M - sold SCT - available All PM's replied.

Pulled these off the truck this past weekend, as finances are tight and I had to pick up something more economical:( I installed the B&M last December, at 25,000 miles, and the BBK and tune last February at 28,000 miles (truck had 34,000 miles when I let it go). The SCT came from Roe, and has...

You asking me?

...and I've got a silver aftermarket tonneau, no wing (but you could attach one fairly easily).

They're the same design, manufactured at the same facility, and yes, they are pretty good. I use the K&N because the welded-on nut makes it easy to torque to spec.

What? Fourth of July Pass, on 90 in Idaho just outside Coeur d'Alene, is a lot hairier.

I tinted my taillights and installed LEDs about 6 months ago. They take 3157, but make sure it's the correct type (this type: http://www.v-leds.com/3157-3156-LED/SRCK/sc354289-1-2//page/1/checkForLanding/true), as the ground/lo/hi layout is different than a standard 3157 bulb. You'll need load...

Cars, yes, but cars don't have the high drag coefficient or huge frontal area of our trucks. And at those speeds, it's all about drag, which increases exponentially with velocity.

I do, but I didn't do it and I don't where the antenna is exactly. My reception is decent enough, but not great. It picks up most of the channels I expect it to, but the quality is sometimes poor.

A dyno, I'm guessing. No wind resistance.

No idea, but it kind of freaked me out too. The first group on the show (PLUTonics) was from the school where I taught this past year. A bunch of my Music History students were in it--kind of cool seeing them on national television.

No difference in the engines. The switch to 0W-40 was done mainly to maintain the level of anti-wear additives. Mobil 0W-40 is a European oil certified for passenger car diesels, which allows higher levels of zinc and phosphorus. API-SM oils, that certification coming into effect in November...
