That's pretty good probably the best you'll get. Mark Dodge is slightly better at $11K off. IDK if there's additional incentives offered./ I got my dealer to match Marks 11K off then got another 1k incentive or rebate.

The air coming into the intake port from a properly setup turbo or supercharger is no more than 150 to 170° on its worse day. The face of the intake valve sees combustion temp's between 1,500°F and 3,000°F (815°C and 1,650°C). The heat in the valve that causes the carbon build up comes from the...

Carbon build up on the back sides of intakes valves and intake ports has previously occurred in all DI engines regardless of aspiration, turbos have nothing to do with it.

The complaints about the hurricane are really pointless. Even if it fails, Ram gave it a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty so you're not paying anything if it has a problem. There's more people on this forum that have had a 5.7 HEMI die on them and need a full replacement than there are people that...

2 turbos and oil feeds aren't a big deal and they're easily accessible. Dual overhead cams, still not a big deal; variable timing components, HEMI has the same. 1/3 of HEMI sits under the cowl and up against the firewall. I don't believe 14 hours for a water pump at all or 21 hours for the...

There's really only 2 ways to lose oil, consumption and a leak. Consumption of a significant amount of oil as you describe should be noticeable if you're paying attention. Consumption is going to be through the rings or through the valve stem seals, both of which would cause a decent amount...

I'm going with his never comment on this for the exact reason I thought he'd say. People don't understand these forums and enthusiast. We do not represent a significant buying segment of people who are buying Rams or trucks in general; they are not going to cater to us. They will continue to...

Ive been reading that theres a TRX street truck version being considered but I think that's just FB groups BS talk. I suspect the Fox collab is all they will do. Kuniskis said there's been lots of positive feedback on the truck but how many people will actually buy it. Thats exactly what he...

That was already ruled out ny Kuniskis

Same here. My wifes XF doesn't have a dipstick, haven't missed it in the 10 years we've owned the car. Would I like one, yeah, does not having one stop my world, no

There is no 6.4 for the 1500 https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2026-hemi-or-hurricane.68963/

This really seems like a simple fix, the 3.0 doesn't have a physical oil dipstick, dont buy it. The HEMI is back and has a physical dipstick, buy that

Yet you survived all these years without it. See, you just think you need it

I agree on opening the engine up, my point was that having a dipstick would provided me with zero helpful information

That's possible on a car with a dipstick; having a dipstick is no guarantee that the previous owner took care of the maintenance If you're looking at a used car, you're not changing the oil and other fluids the minute you buy it? The dipstick would be meaningless in that situation and wouldn't...
