10 years/100k miles warranty on the powertrain of all 2026s? Nice!

Well, they aren't. They had so many mediocre reviews on their own website that they totally revamped the site and all those 2 and 3 star reviews magically vanished. The products they've launched in recent years have been trash. The Ridge Grappler has the most foul weather traction complaints...

There's your problem.

I need to see more and better pics of the Canyon Lake color.

Some guys just don't get it. The Hurricane makes BIG power from only 3 liters. How? By stuffing BIG air into the cylinders. This excessive pressure WILL wear the engine out faster than a larger engine that doesn't have to work as hard. It's not up for debate. The laws of physics don't take...

The 3.6 in the Ram application is already maxed out at 305 HP with an excellent air intake system and large exhaust. You're not going to get anything more from it with a K&N except a LOT more contaminate into your engine thereby decreasing its service life.

If they wanted to really play ball, they'd put the 6.4L in the 1500 to compete with GM again. At one point Ram had passed the Chevrolet brand. Won't happen again unless they go 6.4L and do a refresh on the aging DT platform.

Well well well... what do we have here? I've been saying for years that 20-weight oils are too thin for V8 engines, especially in trucks where they see loads and stress. This is why Hemi engines have issues most of the time; they are fed insufficient oil viscosity. Then today the news...

What always upset us was that there was constant Amsoil advertising. It got to be obnoxious. If a guy is going to use a non-MS 12991 oil, why not just pick a less expensive one off the shelf? I did a lot of testing with Quaker State 5W40 and it looked really good in analysis after towing at...

Well, TK's Garage on YouTube has had a stellar track record on this news over the last 6 months. And he's been saying for a while that the Hemi is back for Ram 1500, Hellcat engine stays in Durango for a while longer, and they're measuring/testing the new 2025 Charger to see if a Hemi will...

Was waiting for somebody to bring this up. I guess the 3.0 Hurricane is great until it's in the shop for 2 days getting a water pump, or 2 months getting a new wire harness, or any of the other issues we're seeing on that Euro engineered dog pile. Just wait until those things are out of...

The people voting I-6TT haven’t gotten to high miles yet. Just wait until those very expensive out of warranty costs start piling up and then let’s do this poll. BTW… credible sources are talking about the 5.7 coming back to BOTH trucks, the Ram and the Jeep. Although, it’s interesting...

I just traded my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3.6L P-star and 201,900 on the odometer. Only repair it had was a water pump at 198k. I would have kept it forever except I got a strong itch for a Challenger 392 Hemi.

NO "cold air intake" kit is going to add that much power unless tuning goes along with it. That's too much of a change in airflow for the stock tune to deal with. The MAF sensor is going to freak out. I'm calling shenanigans on that. Either that kit isn't really making the power advertised...

Been over a year and my thoughts haven't changed. The Hurricane has shown typical issues: overheating, **** poor design that makes it difficult to change common parts, backorder of critical components like water pumps, etc. etc. They can keep that junk. Kuniskis is back and he's already...
