Way to view eTorque stats?

Yeah, with the Ecoboost, you either have to choose eco, or boost, their is no "both" option. I had a 2016 F150 with the 2.7 ecoboost v6, it was a gas hog.

My 3.5 Ecoboost was thirsty too.

My loaner was a ln f150 3.5 ecoboost. Not sure what rear end ratio it had. But mpg and power was comparable to my truck. But my hemi don’t have turbo lag.

fully electric trucks won’t be a thing around here for a while. We’re not setup for it

I love my etorque although I don’t fully under how or when it works. I just kno I am getting way better mpg over my 2009 hemi. I m interested in the all electric movement in pickup, but we are years and years away from complete change over. In my opinion those who are early adopters will be those in live in large metropolitan area with plenty of charging stations and only tow a few times a year and make short runs to Lowe’s or Home Depo. The rest of us l
who live rural, work large farms and tow several times a week, there is no answer yet to solve for the drain on the batteries. so, I believe we will see gas and electric being sold side by side targeting different buyers.

Yes. Any basic OBD tool that connects to your phone via WiFi combined with a decent app (I use CarScanner) will show you some of this information. When I watched stats on my 2020 5.7 w/ eTorque (prior to trading for an EcoD), I noticed the pack voltage hovered around 44V and typically stayed around 60% charged, going as low as about 50%, and as high as about 85%. Regen ONLY occurred on my truck when I actually applied some amount of force (even slight) to the brake pedal - coasting did NOT ever regen to the battery. Regen power is about 8.8 kW (44V times 200 amps at peak). After regen and upon resuming accleration, the electric motor would apply about 2.2 kW of assist power (44V * 50A~) until the battery hit its programmed idle capacity of around 60%. Charge and discharge does not take long since the pack is so small (430 wH), and the power input/output is substantial in comparison. You can also see that eTorque does indeed play a role in shift behavior based on current input/output during shifts - it will slow down the engine for upshifting (regen in the process) and speed up the engine for downshifting (uses stored power).

This is the tool I have - anything similar should work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G525XK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That link isn't working anymore, what is the tool you have?

Definitely not the peak speed. My truck doesn’t have 1k miles on it yet so I’m taking it easy. Had her up to 95 just in a spurt. I’m just using the rpms as an indicator. Speed limits on the highway I use for work is 55 so 75 is fast enough so as not to attract the state troopers. My rebel is I’m sure faster than the Silverado I got rid of. I’m not putting ram down. I will probably drive a ram for the rest of my days. I’m just saying the little duramax was a nice engine. Not good for me because I’m the winter I’ll sit in the truck for about an hour before work and the new diesels really shouldn’t sit idling. I haven’t hit top speed in either vehicle but I know at 95 my rebel still had plenary more. The Silverado kind of leveled out at 105 to where she wasn’t trying to go any faster. I’m gonna wait for my first oil change before I get on the Rebel a little more. For now I’m just cruising. Enjoying every minute of this teuck
I've gone 125+ in my Silverado with the 5.3l.
Sounds like you had a limiter on or something.
I'm sure a Silverado and a Ram could both hit 130 pretty easy (v8)
Even in my old 2006 V6 Mustang I hit 130 with the limiter off.

Newer Silverados and rams both have a limiter around 100.

You need to tune both to remove the limiter.

And this is the obd reader I have.

Veepeak Mini WiFi OBD2 Scanner for iOS and Android, Car OBD II Check Engine Light Diagnostic Code Reader Scan Tool Supports Torque Pro, OBD Fusion, Car Scanner App https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WPW6BA...t_i_84KQMS0A5QW412P6WQAW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

And use this app

“Obd fusion”

But I don’t see how any of those apps would track your etorque fuel savings.

My Subaru has a screen, think we saved .4 gallon over 20k since it’s usually turned off.

We had a loaner Subaru that had 15k on it, and assuming a.s.s was always turned on, it showed it saved 4gal

Makes sense for the limiter to be around 100, if I recall OEM tires on a Silverado are only rated for 106 or 112 mph.
It has a Diablo.

How wopuld you remove a limiter on a "newer Ram" since they have locked ECMs?

Buy an unlocked ecm from Diablo. Only way around it.

why would you want to go 100+ in a pickup truck?
Why would you want to go 100+ in a Challenger, Camaro, or a Mustang?
Why would you want to see e-torque stats?

Because people want to buy and do stuff so they do it.

If you want to have a beater truck or not go fast that's fine for you, different people different strokes.

It's illegal to drive over the speed limit. It's gross misdemeanor reckless driving to go 100 mph. It's a felony to kill someone while driving, not to mention the guilt you'll live with for the rest of your life!

If it’s illegal to drive over the speed limit, how can I pass someone going 53 in a 55? Go 55 for like a minute to get around them? 🤷🏻‍♂️ You’ll never make it and will surely die and kill other people too. Not too safe imo
