well.. apologies, I thought the video was excellent, really informative, and the intention was to bring some good data points into the topic. But, clearly as someone who doesn't hang out in this forum very much, I kinda stepped into it. Yet, like a bug light on a porch, look how many showed up...
Is there an eye rolling emoji around here? "buzz words" yet the 40 minute video discusses each "buzzword" in better, more intelligvent detail than many of these threads you refer to. Didn't mean to trigger you!
lol, good lord. Shouldn't have even explained why I was driving slow.
The point is.. drive 55 mph and watch your mileage go from 1/2 ton truck to honda civic mileage as fast as you can fart.
I get wanting better mileage. But it's a heavy, steel truck, with a V8 (for many of us). There's no...
I'm not as quick to draw a connection from engine lubrication to tow/haul mode; there are a lot of other variables. Does the alternator, for example, lower power output when MDS is engaged? That alone should disable it when towing.
MDS has been around a long time..He shows the oil ports for the...
LOL, clearly.
(appreciate your input here, but when you write, "The stock pump has more than enough pressure and volume." how am I to believe this? Not you, I mean how do I know the stock pump is good enough? If I take your word for it, why? I'm no expert, but the guy in the video has been...
Been researching this one. everyone's generally right:
1. Yes, the RAM engineers probably do know better and probably do have reasons for 0w-20.
[mod: keep the politics out of the forums - you can speak your mind in OT]
However, no company is going to warranty engines over a slight downward...
lol, do I seem that dense?
I hope not, had to make the wife joke.
1. Drafting a semi well requires a ridiculously unsafe distance. I had adaptive on the number 3 setting, which is hundreds of feet, I did this to lower the throttle oscillations and to prevent the brake slam when a californian...
I'll share two things:
1. Even though the exhuast is hard to improve on (none of the cat backs add any power), I replaced my muffler with a borla. I drive the same roads all of the time, and after this one change, one stretch of road the MDS came on, and remained on, for the entire length of it...
It is rated as one of the best all-terrain tires you can buy right now.
The general grabber has some modifications making it more highway friendly, slightly less weight, and a propietary layer under the tread for cushioning.
Which is my point actually: what are you doing, and what's best for...
Yup! Smart, good choice, and it's also 3 peaks rated.
I saw those, they're $14 less than the grabbers, so it's not a big savings, and I felt better with a more aggressive tread. BUT! Only because I will tow, on occasion, a trailer or a boat over miles of dirt road that can get washed out on...

That one! Stormed all day, and I like them even more now. But, I know all too well, let's see where they're at in 20,000 miles.
The Duratracs on my 2020 Rebel were, by all metrics, excellent. And let me tell you.. I really beat the heck out of 'em. 41,000 miles and 2 were bald.
Doing my research I also found out that Duratracs are OLD - designed in 2009 with zero revisions. Apparently many new tires are better. One of...
How I wish 3.21s were available on the Rebel. My boat weighs, maybe, 2000 pounds.
No one mentioned it, but you can get great mileage on 3.92 - just drive 60mph. I'm half joking, but I took a call once, stuck behind a real truck, and adaptive cruise control kept me behind it at 55mph. Because I...
