    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    By chance, was this a quad cab or crew? I have this exact package in a ‘21 with a Hemi but I’m very interested in driving a new SST. Of course, my next truck also would need to be PR4, night edition and off road group with 3.92 gears. Just curious on real numbers out the door you may have signed...

    Dealer destroyed my head

    I would be upset if this were my truck. It’s too bad that the dealer isn’t standing by this. But it is worth mentioning incase nobody knows, that particular bolt passenger side front most is actually 3/16ths shorter than the rest. I’d be curious if they jammed any of the longer bolts in there...

    Cylinder 5 Misfire (Help Please)

    Just as it sounds. Be sure all coil and injector connectors are properly seated by pulling, pushing then pulling again. Likely not the cause but something to do.

    Cylinder 5 Misfire (Help Please)

    Perform the pull push pull test then swap injectors. You may get lucky and see that they are very dirty and the problem follows. If not, I have seen a few broken valve springs and sometimes you can see on a visual inspection. If all that checks out, I’d suspect deeper. I have a huge fleet of...

    Cylinder 5 Misfire (Help Please)

    To confirm, did you replace all 16 spark plugs? Oil done at every interval meaning? Every 10,000 miles? Does the engine sound like a sewing machine with ticking? Assuming it is a all highway truck, but engine hours would be helpful. Injectors are prone to failure and excessive carbon build up...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Did VOR two weeks ago for my manifolds so I didn’t wait as long as most. 29,000mi. My passenger side was broke in half. Doing both sides. With any luck, can squeeze them in again one more time before 60k.

    Apple CarPlay Audio Distortion

    Hopefully that’s true for updates. But mine had this issue with IOS 13 when I bought the truck. I’m still on iOS 14 as I can’t update it with my PC due to windows 7 iTunes issues, but it still does it. My girls phone is fully updated and newer and also does the samething in my truck. Her ride is...

    Dealer Tire Rotation

    Absolutely. But you missed my point. A dealer can push a warranty wheel if they had to to eat a wheel because of that. When you get a wheel from 1800whoknowswheels it makes it that much harder. To each their own, I don’t know what the OP has.

    Dealer Tire Rotation

    I can see both ways on this. $30 for a rotate but god forbid you scratch one of these aftermarket shiney wheels it’s going to be a fight. To make it right it will cost a new wheel and still a bad relationship between the customer and shop. Ive done the samething when I have seen stupid offset...

    Apple CarPlay Audio Distortion

    Yup, same deal I still have going on. I’d like to try putting a media hub in it but haven’t had time to mess with it. Updating the radio to the latest version didn’t help either. I didn’t update to IOS 15 because currently UConnect is awaiting an update for support for IOS 15.

    NO HEAT

    I’d do a simple actuator test and scan for codes. Normally when I see these come in I do a quick check of the inlet and outlet temps on the heater core. Between the **** casting debris that is left inside these engines and the 10 year coolant, the heater core is the first place all this stuff...

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    Anyone tried to see which heated seat setting is the hottest with cloth seats? I tried perf. leather instead of default but I’m unsure if it really feels hotter or not but the ambient temps haven’t been very cold today to get a good feel. Thinking of just trying cloth option instead of default...

    Ram Issues “Last Call” For EcoDiesel Engine In Ram 1500!

    Not for nothing, not bashing people with an ED, but I’d stay away I think. I’ve personally seen three that have failed recently, finally get the engine in from a long wait in parts and now they have to be sent back and not installed because of a “pending” recall coming. Between it being low in...

    Difference between 3.92 anti-spin and max tow

    The 256 RBI “ Max Tow” is only available in an open diff. So if your sure you have anti spin you have the regular C235 with 3.92s. That requires mopar synthetic 75w-140 and 3oz bottle of mopar anti slip additive.

    Rebel GT Exhaust question

    Not sure if this would help anyone. Forgot I did an interior video with the windows down a while ago. I haven’t done a cold start video since it was new.
