    2025 I6 - JB4 Tuner

    That’s probably really good you chimed in Terry. Because the OP’s wording and/or my reading comprehension definitely made it sound like the melty cat issues were specifically due to running the Jb4. And while I don’t follow every Hurricane thread on the internet, I hadn’t seen talk of melted...

    2025 I6 - JB4 Tuner

    That’s what I’m saying, tune may be a bit too spicy for the sake of marketing. Reducing power is not as sexy, but neither are melted cats.

    2025 I6 - JB4 Tuner

    That sounds to me like the tune runs on the lean side. Not good. And if anything I’d think the e-blend maps would lower the egts?

    Suggestions on lift kit to replace my spacers

    There is so much conflicting info on this, I am not sure. Not saying this is wrong or anything at all, just that I don’t know. Shock Surplus says they are valved identically (digressive), and the only difference is the reservoir. Eibach has told forum members here what you said above...

    For heavy-duty truckers

    I used to be a short, stocky bald man that my wife’s boyfriend constantly made fun of. After I began using Top Truck I am 6 feet tall and have 2 wives. Thanks Top Truck! [emoji106]

    Suggestions on lift kit to replace my spacers

    Eibachs intentionally cater to on road comfort more than to off road performance. Handling / control still exceeds oem too. Great for posers like me and I’ve no complaints in mine on a different platform. That said I have heard there are ride quality differences between the Eibach coil...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I live in a front plate state (CO) but have been running without one for many years now. On one car it blocks the intercooler, and on another it just looks stupid. Never been pulled over or talked to for it. I figure they have bigger fish to fry.

    2025 Laramie with Twin Turbo 6 engine tune, Cat6 or JBL4???

    Lower RPMs means less gas burned by the engine… … Is a true statement for naturally aspirated engines. With turbocharging it goes out the window a bit unfortunately for a few reasons. ECM strategy will call for a rich fuel trim under high load / low rpm scenarios for a couple reasons...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Congrats! How’s the audio? That’s the most compelling thing in my mind of the Tungsten over the Limited. I know lots of variances, but for me, most compelling. Seats sure do look cozy though…

    Please post your Tire and Loading sticker

    Honestly, I’m impressed the Tungsten carries a 4-figure payload, and not just barely either. Bravo! Wonder what the full weight of Hemi + eTorque was? Quite a pig.

    Longhorn seat questions…

    The door cards are not correct either. And the black leather seat covers don’t match either a Laramie or a Limited style. Probably a Katzkin or similar aftermarket cover. The longer you look the worse it looks. Seems to have been a Longhorn Southwest Edition at some point though.

    2025 Laramie with Twin Turbo 6 engine tune, Cat6 or JBL4???

    No tune will improve mpgs despite the marketing hype. Your most economical tune is the factory tune combined with a deliberate right foot. If tweaking a few lines of code would have netted more mpg you can be sure the OWM would have done it to earn more Greta points. Tunes on modern engines...

    Longhorn seat questions…

    Run away from that truck. I’d wager it has a rebuilt title or has other serious issues in the Car Fax. These firms that buy totaled vehicles and rebuild them often use a hodgepodge of parts. Those seats were never offered on a Long Horn. Not were those wheels for that matter (those came...

    F150 Lightning

    You wouldn’t exclusively charge your iPhone at convenience stores, you refuel it overnight at home while you sleep. On rare occasions such as perhaps while traveling you need to find a spot to charge it for a while. And so the same paradigm shift applies to EV’s - you refuel them at home...

    Anyone running E30 in their Hurricane H/O?

    E30 carries an equivalent octane rating as 93 or 94, but with lower energy density it requires more fuel volume. This OP’s question whether the fuel system is up to task of 15%+ fuel demands for a given load. And to that it’s still early days for the Hurricane and I haven’t seen anything...
