Aright I'm a Dodge Guy down to the very end but my 89' 318 is really startin to piss me off i love off roadin but when climing hills and stuff, towards the end it doesn't wanna go much farther. I've done a full tune up fuel filter, 02 senser, plugs wires cap rotor. I'd like to find a Throttle body spacer for some more throttle response but i honestly have looked high and low and cannot find anything for that truck besides exhaust. Please any idea's, websites, or anything else you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

It sound like some lower gearing would help you out. What gears and tires do you current have?
I went from the factory single exhaust with converter to true 2-1/2" duals (still using the exhaust manifolds) with a crossover pipe and Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers on my 2WD '89 RC. If I remember correctly, (it's been a while) this only chopped two tenths off of my quarter mile time. (roughly equivilant to taking 200 pounds of weight out of the truck)
