True, but what if you put in some billet internals and a HD TC ?
Isn't that what some of the high HP 1500 owners have been doing for years ?
Any Questions?

No, they either have spare trannies on hand or switch to something else; traditionally a 46RH (A518) or 46RE (3rd gens anyway). More recently the 8HP70 has become doable. After 2013 the 8HP70 was factory available and easily retrofitted in earlier 4th gens. There's a reason the regular RFE was never put in front of the 10 (any version of it) or diesels (the RFE had been around 1999). The exception to this is the 68RFE, and that was a mutant far beyond it's siblings.
Siemens Deka makes a "replacement injector" that is 61 lbs.
The only issue is they are 3/8 of an inch shorter than oem and create some fuel wash as the spray turns to liquid fuel. That is because the firing tip is now up inside a well instead of flush with the end of it.
If you go with the Siemens above, you will need a retune.
I have these in my own engine as it's current power level more than maxes out the stock injectors.
They will also work in a stock engine.
JMB performance and powercoat sells them. They pop right in and accept the stock electrical connector. I believe Roe still sells them too.
There are some fakes on ebay and other sites that are junk.
I don't know of a stock length replacement injector.
I had the existing injector holes drilled deeper (as well as the fuel-rail pedestals lowered), to prevent the Siemen's 30-degree spray pattern from hitting the sides of the stock-length injector wells.
This will prevent gobs of liquid fuel (that don't burn) from entering the combustion chamber, and provide more complete combustion.

I'm betting I can't see any of that stuff because I'm just a mod and not admin.
Think these will fit an ‘04 Reg cab?
The arms themselves are different but the bushings should be the same.
Thanks,I’ll give them a go
Thanks man,perfect fit
You are correct sir,bust a finger nail with a hammer,dam thing wouldn’t budge,but a minute with the blow lamp and a couple of taps with the hammer and we’re off.

I have a question. I was thinking of a muffler delete, would it take away from the torque or horsepower?
No, but a retune would be a good idea and will help rebalance the A/F ratio.

Thanks for the info Ronnie. So would I have to let Torrie know that I removed the mufflers to do a custom tune, or would a canned tune from him be sufficient?
It should be similar to removing cats, as far as tuning tweaks are concerned.
I'd think a canned tune would work fine.

Thanks for the info!
No charge.
Topped up the clutch fluid today,wtf is the femidom thing in the reservoir ?
Cant believe this is the first time if checked the fluid in 18 years of ownership,there’s hardly any room for fluid.
