My truck was ordered without a LSD (sadly) so I required it to have 4 auto and it works great in everything except extremely icy conditions. I use it on boat ramps, light/medium snow especially if the road conditions go from covered to payment. Since it has no LSD it’s almost required when...

Seems like the sweet spot for reliability was around 21-22. My 21 has been flawless (very low option bighorn so not many frills to fail). 2019 was the first year for the DT body and should be avoided.

I use redline. Spring and fall tank in the boats and every 10k miles in the cars. I plan a treatment when I know I’m going to blast through an entire tank I.E. towing for more than 3 hours. Have done that in all my 5.7s to well over 100k with 0 fuel system related problems. I’m also by the...

Shifting issues are very unlikely from fluid issues unless the trans somehow ran extremely hot for a while. Most likely a valve body issue of sorts. My co worker had something similar with his 2020 3.6 1500. My 21 5.7 (non e torque) fluid was changed at 78k. I had parts and such but didn’t...

There will probably be a new 1500 by the time they fully replace the HD platform ha.

Running the PPE on my truck for 10k now without issue. The re location of the drain plug is fully worth the price of moving to the PPE for future services.

Sign me up on a new order if the automotive 6.4 is available in the 1/2 ton. Though, I suspect they will only offer it in some insanely expensive trim level like normal. I could be talked into a low level Laramie to get it but that’s as far as I’d go. I prefer a quad cab 6.4 bed and the...

Yeah, no vehicle that the automotive 6.4 is offered in has an E torque system = obviously doesn’t exist. 5.7 exists in everything besides the truck sans E torque so one would guess for EPA reasons it would be a possibility they would add E torque to the 6.4 in a truck platform that’s already...

Hopefully they end up offering the automotive 6.4 without E torque. If that’s the case I could be swayed into another new 1/2 ton once the new canbus system is sorted. Otherwise, 3/4 ton it is.

I’m running 75-90 Amsoil severe gear in both diffs since 50k. (3.21 gears and almost 90k now). My rear started making a very faint noise on very light deceleration around 62 mph around 50k before I changed fluid. Now it’s a bit louder and has expended its range from about 60-65 pending how...

I’ve got about 10k miles on the fluid change and PPE swap. I didn’t use the spacers (figured it was there mostly to prevent cracking or distortion of the plastic pan). I used a Felpro gasket and it looked like the spacers wouldn’t allow the gasket to be compressed fully. No leaks and no other...

Mine looked nice and clean @ 78k. I tow often 4-5k lbs with heavy payloads. I’m sure it still would have looked decent at your mileage so I’d let it rip.

I just ran mine up a 7% grade for 5 miles towing 5k with around 1200-1400 in total payload. Wanted to let it spin and see how it handled it(about 1k more weight than I typically pull with on that hill). Backed off to 60 mph when the oil hit 250°. Peaked at 255° then settled around there for the...

I leveled my pan. It shifts exactly the same as it always did. (Purchased new). Swapped to PPE pan. Seems to take much longer to get to operating temp but runs temps similarly once warm. Haven’t had it towing in summer heat yet.

Haven’t done a UOA in a while. Had time to actually sample and remember to send in this time. Looking pretty good at 82k ish and my 7500 interval.
