Well as noted above my 01 has an Edge EZ and Bosch rv275 injectors. It’s had these simple mods since 34k miles and it tows really nice even with the 3.5 gears. Three years ago I brought an 11 home from work thinking of trading. I hooked my race trailer up to it and towed up the gawd awful hole I live in (live at 500ft, gotta crest 3800ft to leave town). Now with a 6.7, 6spd auto, and a 3.7 gear I thought it would tow circles around my 01.... ohhhh heeelll no! My 01 would do the same stretch 10mph faster. We’ll be keeping the 01 probably until I’m done racing.

Just the Edge EZ alone will totally wake up a VP equipped 24V..... but if you have an auto, UPGRADE!!!

Well when the wife’s boat steers better than your pickup.... it’s time to start doing something about it. My first efforts in returning back to its factory acceptable “marginal” level (These things never did steer real good) was contacting the folks at Redhead Steering and get a reman/tested steering gear.

second lil upgrade was going to the 52122362AJ Mopar steering package. Much more robust than the twigs it was born with. My pickup is very lightly used and these are all 20 year old parts and were due for re-new...

Next will be upgraded intermediate steering shaft, upper lower trailing arms, and a track bar upgrade.
