You should probably add some context as to what you've done with the TazerDT...

It's not like you *have* to use Tow/ Haul - it just makes it to where the trans shifts less frequently. Unless I'm going through mountains, I usually have it off because the truck gets better mileage (personally) There's no other way for it to detect length without a turn - it's using the...

The issue is not "cracking" the ECU - it looks like Edge/ Holley will let you swap your PCM when you buy their $500 tuner https://edgeproducts.com/shop/dodge-ram-evoht2-pcm-swap-8-speed-only-589 HP Tuners appears to support MDS disable as well - but you need to buy a dongle ($300), credits...

Looks awesome!

The question was whether Ram's ELECTRIC POWERTRAIN is behind the competition... it is. You seem to be making excuses for that obvious delay using the product as a whole.....

I hear you. I've wanted a Toy Hauler for my track car for a long time, and there are very few that can haul a car while still being in the sub-10,000lb ballpark (i.e. really two brands). Every month it's "but look at this 35ft trailer with a huge living room but it has a 6 foot garage and is 3...

This whole thing is a *huge* stretch. The biggest point that makes it a false equivalency is powertrain development. It takes years of development to develop and test a gasoline engine, let alone a hybrid powertrain with multiple control modules, applications, etc. Yes, FCA spent a few years...

He is correct in that 5th wheels tow better - with the pin weight right over the axle, it's physically less likely to sway. Additionally, a 30 ft 5th wheel is waaaay shorter in total length because about 5ft of that is over the bed. The catch is that they're putting ~20% of their weight on the...

Yup! I got the truck to pull it to different events around the country :) My old Hemi did it fine, but my wife wanted something nicer since she was going up with me on the way to Autobahn near Chicago, and the new Limited definitely fits the bill. I like that it's a port-injected V8 that's been...

Back on the topic of 5th wheels, most of the modern ones simply assume you're pulling with a dually. Some of the old, or newer niche *tiny* 5th wheels kinda sorta work (like the Escape 5.0), but you're sacrificing a lot in terms of space (a 25ft bumper pull could be had just as easily), and you...

Word 🤘

Nah, if you just slowly ease off the gas, MDS will engage long before you get to 0%. I only know this because I tend to ease off the gas on level road until I get into "eco"

What if you got a camper that wasn't a 5th wheel?

Nope, always 1, 4, 6, and 7. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/chrysler-5-7l-hemi-mds-lifters/ On the plus side, no one has really torn open an old Hemi and found weird wear. Chrysler at one point stated...

Yeah, that was the original post, but somewhere along the line 'ol Jrod made the leap to all ecoboosts and started just making things up about "spooling" and "lag" lol

And I see you continue to post meaningless dribble you didn't even bother to research beforehand 🥱 You're the one telling me there's a huge difference in Diesel vs Gas turbos... and yet you obviously can't tell which one is which.

Obviously? Which one of these is a diesel turbo, and which one is a gas turbo? I've raced turbo cars on race tracks, tuned them on dynos, and worked with ECUs that manage them. Diesels have a different EGT range, benefit from turbocharging differently, and they'll run waaay different A/R...

Ah, they never consult the engineers, just leave them in a black box that magically makes vehicles come out.. got it As an engineer, there are plenty of times we wish marketing would dive a little deeper into a product... but when there's a very technical blurb in the documentation that says...

You guys realize there are turbodiesels that run under load for literal days, right? Modern turbos are fed constant lubrication and even coolant from the engine - they don't care about constant heat exposure any more than your exhaust valves. Quit making up BS just because it sounds good in...

Better call up Ram and tell them their owner's manual is wrong. We wouldn't want FCA powertrain engineers to be contradicting anecdotal evidence on the internet
