Subject: thermostat change? and others...
IP: Logged

Message:
I have just purchased a 2000 dak 2wd with the 3.9; So far with the stock engine the temp gets to about 150-160 and it runs very sluggish when warm. I can only get it to take off quick if running right after start. What kind of thermostat should I get and where should I get it?
Other tips on tweeking take off would be good too (it feels almost like I have turbo lag, I stomp on the gas and it goes slow at first then think "oh my God I am suppose to go now huh?")
I am thinking of getting different air intake as well, any suggestions there would be welcome
