    Oil Change Intervals

    1st change on new engine 1,000 miles. After that every 3,000-4,000 depending on how beat up and busy I am with work. Valvoline or Pennzoil full synthetic with Wix XP filter. Empty catch cans in both trucks at 2,000 miles. According to the window sticker oil change reminder, our new Mojave...

    Security Thoughts on trucks other than TRX

    Just keep your key fob in a faraday pouch and definitely move the horns. You can bend the thin metal bracket and cut the wire wrap to remount them. Can buy 2 pouches for about $10 and they work very well.

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Have you done your own plug changes and use NGK? I've had 4 Hemi's and changed all 16 plugs many times without a single issue or plug failure using Champions or NGK, so seems quite odd to me. Is it possibly a bad coil pack?

    Don't be like me.

    I did the same thing with our 2017 JK after it wouldn't start. Battery, fuses etc.. checked out good, figured it had to be the starter went bad. Went to O'reilly after pulling battery and they tested the battery to be good too. Grabbed a new starter and installed it. Wouldn't start, so...

    Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

    Must be why all my contractor friends and clients like it then. I wondered why I get so many compliments on it.

    Some of those work trucks are sleepers though ;)

    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    Had a 91 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD for this exact reason. My Ford Probe GT had gobs of it though. Even had a Subaru XT Turbo 4wd that looked like a slice of cheese going down the road. That car was great in the snow though. That was back when I thought a 15 second quarter mile time was fast and...

    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    I was actually wrong on the 26 psi for the High Output Hurricane....it's 28 psi. That's just a lot for 100,000+ miles. I consider the Hellcat motor one of the best built motors for boost and they make 11 psi stock.

    Running High Coolant temp

    There's also the chance the T-stat is bad even being new. Stant sold out years ago. They used to be the best, but not so much anymore. My 180 Stant temps varied greatly, so I purchased another from Rock Auto, a GATES 34253S 180 premium and it's worked very well. You really should program...

    If you need a great Hemi tuner....

    Pretty sure it's Diablosport, as he did confirm to me he was one of their original tuners and been at it for 20 years. I have a Trinity 2, but have had (3) i3's before, as well as a Pulsar and they all work well. This is my 3rd Hemi Ram and all have been tuned, this is my first supercharged...

    If you need a great Hemi tuner....

    I installed it myself. The people I contacted about installation wanted another $3-5K for install. It wasn't too bad, just took my time and double checked everything. Any shadetree mechanic can do it. I posted a thread on these forums about it with my dyno...

    If you need a great Hemi tuner....

    Ah, well the more you know! He didn't mention that, but then I didn't ask how he learned to program. I was really surprised how he quick he was and how refined the tunes were, so now it makes sense.

    If you need a great Hemi tuner....

    I was having some hesitation issues with my Procharged Hemi this winter when the engine was cold. I never had any issues until this first winter. Once the truck warmed up, it ran fine and strong. My original dyno tuner tried making a few adjustments and nothing seemed to change. I finally...

    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    I find the 22 psi of boost on the SO and 26 psi on the HO a bit concerning. I realize they are built for it, but we'll have to wait to see how these hold up over time. Tuned 3.5 ecoboost owners are generating 20 psi. Even with twin turbos reviewers are complaining about some turbo lag...
