    2026 RAM Hurricane gets a revised engine badge

    The 2025 SST engine badge has been replaced with a new badge for 2026. I like it better than the SST badge.

    Hurricane engine temp fluctuation.

    I've paid attention to the temp gauge since this thermostat has been revised 5 times since the release of the 3.0L Hurricane and a known issue.

    Hurricane engine temp fluctuation.

    I've noticed with my Hurricane S/O the engine operating temps can really fluctuate. At highway speeds running the A/C it can run as high as 223 degrees then slowly drop to 198 then slowly creeps back up continuing this high/low cycle. With my previous 5.7L the engine temps stayed around 208...

    Red Ignition Switch Swap

    That's how I did it. I removed the kick panel at first like on my Laramie but there was stuff in the way. The uconnect has 2 screws in the top tray then pick a corner and yank it out since it's all snap fit.

    Red Ignition Switch Swap

    I installed the RHO switch on my 2025 Rebel with my previous Laramie it was easier access to the switch now it's blocked with modules etc. To install I first removed the 12" uconnect then remove the shifter and bezel. I then reached from the where the uconnect was to depress the switches upper 2...

    Rebel GT Exhaust question

    The G/T exhaust is going to sound less aggressive since it uses a 1 in 1 out muffler with a Y behind the muffler to split the pipes to be dual.

    Rebel GT Exhaust question

    The 2026 5.7 Hemi is going to include the GT exhaust standard along with the 33 gallon tank. Too bad they aren't bumping up the hp to at least 400.

    Strange noises

    This is it exactly. In the old days there was a turbo timer that would idle the engine for a period of time before shutting it off so that the turbos would cool off better. Now there are electric water pumps to help with that task. The turbos get very hot and it's important to cool them off...

    Catch Can

    Seems like 3,000 miles is a good point for changing the break in oil I did mine at 1,000. Put in exactly 7.5 quarts and keep an eye on it. I installed the J&L catch can on my S/O and after 2,000 miles it has caught only a table spoon of oil. On my 3.6L Gladiator that J&L 3oz catch can would fill...

    2025 Ram 1500 with 3.0 Hurricane engine

    Does it say what it was flashed to on your ticket from the dealer?

    First mod

    I have the same CAI on my Rebel with the SO engine. It's been on my truck for several months you can now hear the turbos.

    My 2025 RAM 1500 got a P0441 code today.

    I was driving down the highway and got a CEL for the first time after 10,650 miles. Doing a code scan it says a P0441 is 'Evaporative emission system incorrect purge flow' . I cleared the code too see if it was a fluke or a actual reoccurring problem. Has anyone had a P0441 code display on...

    Catch Can

    I could see needing the 3oz extension for the 3.6L I couldn't believe how much oil got collected in my Gladiator. This is my S/O Hurricane after 1,600 miles it might be a table spoon of oil. Perhaps the person building my engine actually measured the proper ring gap.

    5w20 vs 5w30

    If you want to keep that cam and roller lifters happy change the oil every 5,000 miles. For me I use 5w-30 in my past 3.6L, 5.7L and current 3.0 S/O my 392 used 0W-40.
