I’m not saying a Hellcat isn’t cooler than some EV; it definitely is. Just saying speed isn’t the sole, or even leading, characteristic of some of these awesome ICE cars that makes them so awesome. EVs have commoditized quickness at least, if not speed itself, and made it consistently...

…. And unless you’re betting on a 40-roll or a prepped surface, I wouldn’t offer up that pink slip.

Once you go enclosed you’re no longer pulling a trailer, but a parachute. The engine works harder to pull even the same weight. But, I’d bet it’s fine from a drivetrain perspective. I’d just monitor temps closely, as boost creates heat. If things get warm, use the transmission gear selector...

There’s an Off stood Group package even for air suspension trucks purported to include “HD Shocks” or “off road tuned” shocks, depending where n what marketing materials you are looking at. So I presume the difference is just the shock body. But what the difference is, whether it’s truly a...

What would you be hoping to accomplish in doing so, I wonder? DTs already have a 5 link / 4 link + Panhrd bar rear.

Both awesome trucks but I have a soft spot for that generation Dakota & Durango. Especially one R/T flavored. Looks great.

Yes, either would be good candidates for the rear as they can accommodate the range of ride heights. Rear shocks are physically separate from the air bags in the rear and mount in traditional fashion.

This is a nearly impossible question to answer - as in, better in what way? Limiting the question to engine choice alone is tough, expanding to the total vehicle and all their possible trims… well, as stated earlier - not enough BS in your life?? It’s time to start driving a bunch of trucks...

Ah good to know. I’ve only looked at some of his more popular suspension videos. I’ve long been a “as low as possible, as high as necessary” guy when it comes to leveling / lifts, just based on experience and the mechanics of installing / working on IFS. Kai actually puts it into good words...

Take a look at this video, or frankly anything else this guy puts out that you have time to watch. He takes the time to masterfully explain the concepts that the folks here are only hinting at. I can understand they might be tired of typing out the same thing over and over (as am I), but I...

Yay, this conversation again! A modern engine- and especially a turbocharged direct injection one - has such a wide range of operating parameters that power output widely varies based on a multitude of things, including fuel quality/octane, intake air temperature, engine and transmission...

Spotify premium gives you 320kbps / CD quality sound and is not too expensive. You can spend more for lossless or other better steaming services, but hardly anyone will have a system in their vehicle where the benefits can be detected; certainly not a stock system. IMHO of course.

The stainless works setup (both of them) really sound good in their sound clips. Definitely the way I’d go if I had one. And they make quality stuff.

Nice. Welp that’s about all you can do with stock tires, so maybe LTs would help.

Did you air them up to near the max shown on the sidewalk, or ~45 psi?
