#1815 of 1877 Re: '05 RT Magnum computer problem [rockymtns] by jacklionel Nov 20, 2007 (6:14 am)
Replying to: rockymtns (Nov 14, 2007 3:55 pm) I just bought a NOS 2006 Magnum R/T AWD. I take delivery tomorrow. I just found this forum; I'm assuming there are threads relating to chips, headers, etc.   Hey rockymtns, do you need snow tires with your AWD (the stock tires are pretty aggressive; definitely not "all-season-radials")?

Replying to: jacklionel (Nov 20, 2007 6:14 am) I live in Rochester, NY and have a 2005 R/T AWD. I run with 4 Continental V-rated snow tires in the winter. My Magnum can handle anything with AWD and these snow tires - ice and snow in the mountains of Vermont as well as the lake effect snowfalls of upstate New York.

Replying to: jacklionel (Nov 20, 2007 6:14 am) I have an AFE cold air intake in my 2005 R/T AWD. The sound is awesome! Replies to this message: bhigbhil1946 (Nov 21, 2007 11:29 am) jacklionel (Nov 23, 2007 5:25 am)

Replying to: jacklionel (Nov 20, 2007 6:14 am) I had no problems with the stock tires in the snow with the AWD! The car plowed through 18" + with no problems. I live on a road that doesn't always get plowed right away in the foothills. I feel better in my Magnum then my 4WD Tahoe! Have fun.
#1819 of 1877 Cold Air Induction by bhigbhil1946 Nov 21, 2007 (11:29 am)
Replying to: bbfd86 (Nov 20, 2007 6:36 am) Yes, the big hole lets out neat sounds. I have been asked if there is a blower under there; I merely say, I don't know if there is. All I know is the thing is blindingly fast, sounds great and we have tons of questions to answer everytime we stop of anything.

Replying to: bhigbhil1946 (Nov 21, 2007 11:29 am) I get it that it makes a noise. But is it a good noise? For example, I once put duals and free-flow mufflers on a car that had a pretty mild stage of tune (even though I also changed the cam). But it was an automatic, and all it did was make the car noisier and let out a sort of sickly moan under most conditions.   (I believe that this is true in general, by the way. If you tie any engine to an automatic transmission (except, perhaps a full-race mill), the pipes just are not going to sound that good, not anywhere near as good as the same engine with a stick. Also, the converters act as mufflers and tame the great "bark" and "rap" of a hot engine. The results just don't sound that good.)   My Grand National sounds pretty good with a free-flow induction and exhaust system, but that's partially because you can hear the turbo whine (plus that engine is really tuned to kill). In that car, both the converter and the turbo itself serve to kill the "bark." When I put in the converter bypass pipe at the strip, the engine put out a terrific roar and trailing rap.   So I ask two questions: first, under what conditions do you notice the sound; just under acceleration conditions, or does it give off an annoying moan at cruise? (and what about at idle, i'm assuming not much there, right?). Secondly, does it make a sound you really want to hear, or is it just sort of sickly loud?   (I am interested, but I would really like to hear one before I spent the money on my car. The difference in power just isn't that great. Is 12(?) HP really noticeable when added to 340?).   Has anyone bought one of the chip/reprogrammers available?
#1821 of 1877 Dodge Magnum Foglights by shogunsama Nov 29, 2007 (6:54 pm)
Does any one have any idea of how to change the foglight bulbs on the magnum? My owners manual says to take it to the dealer, but they want $125 to change the bulb! Must be a picture or directions somewhere, so an old shadetree mechanic would know how to take apart the front end, to replace the bulb in a couple of hours. Any ides please?

Replying to: shogunsama (Nov 29, 2007 6:54 pm) They probably have to remove the engine first.   (Seriously, this would be a good bit of information to have).
#1823 of 1877 FOG LIGHTS by shogunsama Dec 20, 2007 (10:19 am)
Still looking for some assistance/ guidelines on how to change those fog lights. Hate like heck to just crawl under and start dis-assembling the front bumper, but if no one can answer this looks like that is what I'll have to do. Replies to this message: magnum10 (Jul 16, 2008 10:01 pm)
