Well you already know what needs to be done. Just reach in, twist the middle of each slat so that it forms a "V" which pulls the ends closer to each other so that the ends slip out of the structure.

Yes remove the liner on top of radiator. Leave the top and bottom rows in so the system doesn't collapse. Then remove the slats in between. There are multiple rows, 2 columns. Just reach in and force the middle of each slat out, it will bend/fold on itself giving room for the outside edges to...

Couple things: hellwig swaybar will control lateral sway, better control in the corners/bends, but not up + down bounce. I had much better luck moving to a chain system like the andersen no sway WDH because this system does not have any bounce in the hitch itself, whereas trunion bar WDH's have...

I had the pacbrake on as well, and removed the AGS, so it's not that. Possibly more airflow with that bumper but even in winter temps of -4 F and running down the freeway at 60 to 70 mph I never sat below coolant.

I'm surprised your oil stayed lower than coolant with that long of a trip and those ambient temps. My oil hovers just above the coolant (my coolant temps match yours).

The engines rated hp is always at the "recommended" octane level. If you run the lower octanes, even if they are approved for use, they won't get rated HP/Tq figures. Nissan gave exact amounts at different octanes, but it doesn't really matter because they all work the same way: full rated hp at...

I just reached in IIRC, they are somewhat friction fit into place, if you twist them by pulling on the center of the slat then the edges will pop out with a bit of force.

I did, I just reached in with my hand and bent them a little and slipped them out. Left two rows near top and bottom to keep the structure intact and so the motor/electronics think it's doing something but there is a permanent whole in the middle of course.

That's a nice color, great looking truck.

My truck tows at a lower temp (on the straights at 63 mph) than it used to run unloaded. The 180 is a nice upgrade for sure.

A 2500 with a permanent load in it as you described should ride quite well. Even unloaded they ride nice for what they are.

Great quote from a guy on another ram forum who used his 5.7 on the drag strip without worry:

They fixed the lifter issue back in 2016-ish, switched manufactures and it has thicker needle bearings. "Hemi tick" is a completely meaningless term these days, ask a random person what it is and you'll get a different answer. The hemi is not a completely silent engine especially cold, but it...

Definitely voids the warranty if they want it to, if you have a 2019 you'd be out of warranty, no? I use a pulsar and use either "stock tune with MDS disabled" or "tow tune with MDS disabled": https://www.edgeproducts.com/products/in-line_chips_and_modules/pulsar/hemi/parts/32453

MDS has no effect on the longevity of the engine. I disabled mine because I cannot stand how it works, but it's not a point of failure any more than any non MDS lifter.
