Pretty much any race car running no coolant and no radiator is running on pure methanol to keep the engine temps reasonable.

I took a closer look and there is a preinstalled black rubber gasket on the tstat. All other things equal, heatsoak is real and higher temps will rob power. Lower temps you can throw more timing at it the engine without knock. I should have grabbed the diablesport trinity tuner before the new...

Got the HHP Tstat in hand. For those that have done the swap, do you need any other parts? New gaskets?

I dont think you can go wrong with Jscan or AlphaOBD. My understanding is Jscan is a bit more user friendly and much cheaper for a license which is why I went that route.

Ordered the HHP 180* T stat. Looking at the Diablo trinity tuner with PCM to tune this girl up. Currently ice fishing weather here in Michigan so going to do a full flush in the spring while installing the new 180 T stat. Will keep you guys updated.

I use Jscan app, an obd2 bluetooth adaptor, and a fca obd2 security bypass cable. The setup with everything including the software license was like $70. Allows many setting to be changed, used it to recalibrate tire size. For sensors I purchased an Autel programming tool and use their sensors. I...

I removed my CD player with the factory uconnect 4 nav system with no issues after thousands of miles. It was replaced with an anytone at-799 radio.

Ive been in some snowy situations in Ohio, not as bad as Michigan, but they do get some cold temps and snow. Pretty much have to have a second set of wheels and run them for 3-4 months in the cold season then switch back to regular all seasons the rest of the year.

Anyone else running dedicated winter tires? Im running Falken Winterpeak 275/60-20 on my spare set of wheels for the sub 45* season. Results have been spectacular so far.

No mine are white lit only, white in the day too, which matches my white truck!

Added a white lit RAM logo to my grille.

What speed are you towing at? Makes a huge difference on mpg. Im around 10-12 towing 23’ 6k lbs camper at 60-65mph. 3.21 gearing and 33” tires. Running S&B intake, Awe exhaust suite. Doing some mods to get my towing temps down.

I ended up getting the vacuum pump in hand. Have not used it yet, as my overfill was a couple notches high after the antifreeze swap but after running it for a couple days the fluid level dropped back under max so I think the system does eventually purge the air into the overflow tank. Seems to...

Also I should add it was ready for a flush. The OEM coolant was somewhat dirty.

You are spot on here. I flushed a gallon and a half of coolant out of the radiator (about half of the system) and refilled with the peak. Did the old school method of burping (with my custom funnel!) heat on, got up to temp, revved, opened and closed tstat multiple times, restarted multiple...
