They actually built some really early 03 1/2 tons with the 360 before the 5.7 was ready. Some v10 03 3/4 tons slipped out too.

Thanks for the info. I think it was a huge miss getting rid of the great under seat storage ram always had. Everyone argues (but flat floor). All my trucks had the fold flat floor that I preferred over trying to stack things on not a truly flat floor. I hate rattles and such so much that I...

I’ll likely start running one on every change from here on out to keep tabs on iron in the event of a lifter failure.

Here’s my second UOA taken around 53k miles. I typically run 7500 on Pennzoil Platinum 5-20 and a Mopar filter. I shorted this change by about 500 miles since I was leaving on a 2500 mile towing trip that week. This sample was mostly around town daily driving (don’t tow as much in the winter)...

Yeah same. I fully agree you can pedal drive and hold gear if that’s your preference. It’s totally mine if the terrain or load is causing tons of shifting. I’m just unbothered by a 1 gear downshift to maintain speed. (I fully agree the 5th gens are tuned to maintain speed much more aggressively...

I mean, I think your mind stuck in the days of junky 4 speed OD transmissions. Those spent all the time out of OD with the converter unlocked so that + wild gear hunting is going to lead to excessive heat and damage (where the fable that towing in OD gears is detrimental to transmissions came...

I’ve towed 100s of thousands of miles on the highway with all types of trailers/trucks. I know what you’re trying to explain and no offense but driving beside you on the highway would send me into the mental hospital. I’d be set on 70 and move out to pass you and you’d speed up down the hill...

I agree with you in terms of merging. If I can I’ll give some space but it’s your job to read traffic as you’re coming down or up an on ramp and plan accordingly to zipper. I have more sympathy if the on ramp is more blind. Keep in mind, I’m usually towing 4000-4500 lbs and near max payload...

Always cruise control when conditions permit. I can’t understand why someone wouldn’t use such a wonderful invention. This truck is programmed to keep speed more aggressively by downshifting than my prior rams but it has more gears to play with so the downshifts aren’t as large. They would...

My 21 has been a dream compared to my two trucks prior. 57k miles this week. Granted, it’s missing a lot of the features that typically cause issues like rear slider, 12” screen etc. 3.21 gets excellent fuel economy and tows my typical load like a freight train. I’m set to get a shade over...

Made it almost 57k miles without a check engine light. Only issues to date are CEL, grease leak from one CV joint, mount for the drivers side sun visor broke(already repaired). Code found is P1622 (O2 sensor voltage code). Interwebs says it’s commonly associated with wetness. We’ve had a ton...

The front diff is an odd 75-85 formulation. I just used severe gear 75-90 in both (3.92 truck spec 75-140 for the rear) Pending your transfer case that changes fluid. Mine is the auto case that takes mobilfluid LT (about the only way to get that in quarts is from Mopar). I towed from...

I was going to add the factory plastic splash guards (basically larger versions of the protectors behind the wheel wells currently). I don’t get on gravel roads at all but I have no paint damage to speak of lower on the body. One chip right on the edge of the hood sadly. 54k miles now. The...

I must have read it incorrectly before. E torque is fine when working correctly. Seems like with any advanced electrical system it’s a bear to fix when it acts up. I mostly don’t want it because I need all the payload I can get. Looks like the new hurricane may be lighter than the hemi (non e...

Right. It’s just like tires. Same brand but new rides much smoother every time. Will see how they perform towing.
