Don't know about the 5.2. I just installed them in my 3.9 and it's a lot smoother than the stock rockers. Supposedly, on a 3.9 I should see 15-18 RWHP and 20-25 pounds additional torque on the low end. I KNOW I'm seeing the additional torque, and that's nice.
I got mine from John @ SoutheastRT.com. You have to manually order, but they were $264 for the 3.9 - probably around $300 for the V8 set.

Go to this link: www.pavementsucks.com/tech/rollerrocker.php
That's a good, pretty complete set of installation instructions for them. And, go to this one for some additional tips: http://www.dodgedakota.net/boards/v6/14058.html

Tucker,
What brand did you use? And did you have to buy new valve covers?

I used the Harland Sharp 1.7's. They are NOT adjustable, but you do use the stock valve covers and don't have to beat down the baffles in them. So far, I'm happy with them - but, only have about 250 miles on them so far. They bolt right on.

Laugh, D*$khead! It gave me 22.7MPG running 72-77MPH on the grandbaby trip this weekend. To say that I'm happy with 'em is would be something of an understatement.
If you got nothing constructive to contribute, then go lay in the road and lick yourself or something.

Hope this helps,

I think you may be getting confused with the V8 gains.
This is also a pretty good installation guide,
it helps with the guide plates too.

a constructive contribution would be a dyno sheet comparing before and after runs to show a power gain- not how much you "think" or how much you "should" see-
save those posts for the ricer section. oh, im sorry- there isnt one here.

What types of mods have you done, and where are your before and after dyno sheets that you used (after every one) to make you sleep better at night. Maybe we could use those as a "Constructive Contribution".

So what if the HP is not as advertised, I'd install them for the extra MPG, they should pay for themselves in 7-9 months.
Hey TruckerLdlow, what was your MPG before you installed the harland sharps???
