At the moment... neither. Wait for the 6.4 hemi, we all know its coming soon.

It's there for a reason; as long as you aren't slamming it repeatedly up against the rev limiter it's not a problem. I tow with it on in combination with TH mode to keep it locked to 6th for hours at a time.

You can leave the computer/fan stock and still see a major benefit by running (for example) a 180. If you want the fan to come on sooner, that is yet another benefit and thing you can do, but it doesn't have to be done to see a benefit. The 180 by itself is so effective in my usage, I...

He has been suspiciously absent with recent updates though. Not a good sign. :(

I'm confused because my truck has a fan and it comes on whenever temps get hot enough. So I'm not saying you're wrong, just that I have no idea what feature you're referring to and why it would be useful over and above what normal cars and trucks already have. 🤷‍♂️

A number of us are running the BD Diesel manifolds which are reinforced and have longer studs. It's a non issue for me, already been replaced on both sides and I don't expect to have to touch it again. I'd put this on the same level as the plastic oil filter, probably something that is solvable...

Why would only ET do this? The truck has more than enough power to spin the cooling fans regardless of whether it has ET or not.

Best thing you can do for these trucks. Keep the heat down, MPG should at the very bottom of the list of priorities when towing.

Same here, only with 3.21 and 26 gal tank. The 5.7 is the only recent/current engine in the half ton space that also lived for years in the 3/4 tons, and that was a huge selling point for me.

Ford doesn't put their turbos in the F250 either, they can't handle the duty cycle. Ford engineer is on record saying this to Andre from TFL. Heavy duty trucks put horsepower under durability/duty cycle on the list of "things that matter". Half tons are basically glorified station wagons these...

"dumbo ears" haha. I'd still get them, but they're definitely function over form. I'm just tired of clipping those silly amazon specials over my mirrors whenever I tow which is quite frequently.

I don't see anything obvious. It's not 100% smooth perhaps but I wouldn't call that "jumping" either 🤷‍♂️ Ok but that was my point, you said "working as designed" in a previous message which is what I disagree with, regardless of what is actually causing the noise.

The video doesn't show anything to me. You think if I hop in 10 different brand new trucks at the local ram dealer, hold the brakes and turn the wheel, they're all going to make that noise?

I don't believe so. Mine has started making that noise, it didn't always do that. I notice it going over minor bumps with brakes pressed, same bumps with no brakes pressed and no noise.

Any update on all this?
