The tube of flowable sealant is just as easy a fix. My truck is 7 years old, hasn't leaked yet, but when it does, I'm doing this.

For the shark fin, did you do the only the center gasket? I'm wondering because the outside gasket along the edge has a back slit to allow water to exit. I want to preemtively do my back window and 3rd brake light, but was also considering the shark fin.

The battery life of a TPMS sensor is about 7 years, if one was going out, likely the rest will follow. The aftermarket ones are hit and miss. To fix your problem, buy the OEM ones, there are brick and motor Stellantis dealerships that sell parts wholesale on Ebay, you can probably find a set...

That sounds interesting, did you have a link to that report or a Google title so I can search it?

Did they do an engineers analysis on the 6.4L what come with 40w that also have this issue?

I agree as well, not sure if it's true, but rather not find out, but the Hurricane is a great motor. I love the roar of my Hemi, but the type of driving I'll be doing in the Philippines, I rather have it quiet for those 5 hour long drives in traffic. Plus, the Philippines is about a year off...

I decided on the Hurricane with my Philippine spec truck. The responses from owners groups there, many of which have or had owned the 5.7, that the Hurricane has no issues idling all day long. The 5.7L actually doesn't have the greatest reputation for long idling, which based on some reports...

True, it's only 5 more hp and same torque on paper (400hp / 410 lbs-ft). Though seems to have a lot left in regards to tuning and setup, that same motor in the Mustang GT makes 486hp and 418bs-ft of torque. The 5.7L Hemi in the Challenger only made 375hp / 410 lb-ft. In fact, the most...

Makes sense, just that noting the fact the weakest V8 in any truck line is one of the best volume sellers for that brand. Stellantis has put giant V8s in their lineups, but it's rarely been the volume engine, it's to get people in the door. As for Stellantis, of course they are trying to ignore...

The Hemi isn't the weakest V8, that would be the 5.3L in the GM trucks, and was their volume motor across trucks and SUVs. I think the last thing Stellantis wants is more V8s in the 1500, I think they want to be more like Ford with Hurricanes being the volume motors (like their EcoBoost 3.5L &...

Not for my truck, I can press it lightly so it sprays without the wipe, so I can get the windshield really wet before the first wipe. But never had it wipe without spraying the screen first. First make sure the fluid tank is full, see if it keeps doing that.

Is the sound when cold or hot? The expensive tick everyone is afraid about is when hot, at idle, and isn't a consistent tick, its inconsistent and pings around, unlike the sound in your video.

I'm sold on the Hurricane as well, if I was buying a new RAM in the states, I would be getting an RHO. However, I'm relocating half the year in the Philippines, and will be buying my new Rebel over there and it will be a Hurricane powered one. Mainly for the reasons you outlined, but also...

That's pretty much what I think, they have no choice but to keep it up to date because they are going to need a V8 in their lineup.

Sure, I pretty said that. The Hemi is been around for 20 years, lets wait and see if the Hurricane is better over time. Two of my buddies bought 2025 with Hurricanes, they all had codes that took time and effort to fix. I had my Hemi for 7 years, it's never had an engine light code go off...
