    Question about proper psi to run in aftermarket rims and tires

    That’s pretty light on the tires, and I’m surprised a shop mounted them, BUT the axle is rated for 4100 lbs, so within the safety parameters. Yeah, 65 psi at full weight might be a rough ride. Obviously without full weight you can drop down some, and I thought that calculator linked above even...

    Ticking noise, 6000 Miles Hemi.

    The last word of the post is key - reflash (reprogram). MDS is mechanically separate from etorque, and you will remember MDS has been around 10+ years?, with etorque replacing the alternator since ‘19?

    Ticking noise, 6000 Miles Hemi.

    Sorry I didn’t make that clear; it was dragging off throttle downhill. Sounded like a Subaru.😜 Honestly, I was surprised at both the downshifting and eco dragging that high.

    Ticking noise, 6000 Miles Hemi.

    Had a new perspective this week on the mds. I’m a toolmaker and build all sorts of machinery, as well as hotrods, and race cars. I live in flatland, so eco only comes on below about 1700rpm. But went to the mountains and noticed that it would helpfully downshift, but rev to about 3500 rpm in...

    New truck and tires don't match the sticker...?

    Well, it’s not the only option…see sig. I am going to go up to 20’s with the 275/60/20 C range tire for a decent ride. Axle rating is 4100, any tire is about 2400.

    Seized lug nuts

    Wow, that’s bad! Wheels are replaceable cheap and easy compared to truck parts. Morons

    Anyone opt for the bench seat in the front instead of captain chairs?

    I don’t have any cd player under the seat, just another storage area. Thanks for telling me about it. I have 80k miles 😄 Should I look for a cd player? Anyone got a pic?

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    Just an aside, I put a tune in a 3.6 impala. Worlds better awake and unrestricted. I used an obscure guy named overkill, but not that Overkill.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed a cheap tonneau cover, I guess a little too cheap. They got the front clamps at the back end of the trifold front section, not the front corners of the section. So, the front is sprung up. Oh well hopefully keeps the luggage dry.

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    I have the Roar pedal unit. It works good for remapping the curve, and helps some with lag. But the lag is a function of the curve, so reducing lag only comes by ramping up the curve. I honestly use it on the lowest setting. I had another that I forgot that had a bad rep for the dash lights when...

    Anyone opt for the bench seat in the front instead of captain chairs?

    I ordered mine with the standard bench for a 6th seat, but it would have to be a kid to use available legroom. It’s always down, and the console is big enough. I don’t keep crap in my truck, except napkins and a phone holder.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Didn’t get in before the ceasefire, but I work at an electronics shop and we cut our own LED housings apart and resolder the boards to try to fix them. Remember lead is bad for you? It is the best for solder. Well companies have been using crap solder for 20 years now. How long did the first...

    Stock wheel question

    You’re not gonna want 80 psi? You can’t load enough to need that. I have the same, I run 35 for the ride. When I towed, I might go to 50 on the rears. There are charts and formulas to determine what you need. 80 is the max for the tire, not what your particular vehicle needs.
