I can believe that the 6.4 is coming, where I disagree with Alex is that I think it will be the SRT @ 485 hp and not the BGE @ 410 hp. There is no way they're only putting the BGE engine in the truck, my guess is that we're finally getting the SRT like they put in every other car/jeep/suv they...

I'm not sure, it's not my truck 🤷‍♂️

That's a great catch. I wonder how many buyers even look under the trailer.

Nice, I did expect the 1500 to be a faster truck unloaded. But drop a 6000 lb trailer behind both and I would expect all that extra torque in the 7.3 to easily pull away from the 5.7. Hope you'll come back with towing reports, would be great to hear it as I've thought about making the same move...

Nice truck! How is the performance of the 7.3 vs the 5.7?

Make sure they're inflated to what it says on the door sticker, you'll be fine. I have the goodyear wranglers on 18's and find them to be very comfortable tires, nice and soft and quiet ride. Probably why the poster above found them easy to cut but it's all about your personal application...

There is this HDMI kit I found on Tazer DT site a while back, anyone ever played with it? https://www.zautomotive.com/product/z_tzr_dt/#accessories

Been saying this for years but always got hate in the comments for it: the only two that are safe, are the banks pedal monster and the pulsar. Neither of these 2 power themselves on the pedal circuit, all the others do and it's terrible design because the pedal circuit is not designed to power...

It sounds like you have something seriously wrong with your engine. 5w-30 won't throw up a warning in a properly working engine, I've run 0w-40 for a whole summer and did everything from light driving to heavy towing, zero issues, zero warnings, nothing showing up in scanners etc. Keep in mind...

OEM rebel 18" look great too:

Not my truck, but always liked this look. These are OEM rims in a 22", you can get aftermarket rims which look identical but are at 20" instead, which look a little nicer, more sidewall and less rubber band.

More shear stable is a good thing. When an oil shears down it can drop almost as much as a grade or more (so maybe it's now a 0w-16 instead of a 0w-20). Xw-20 is already super thin for a hemi, shearing down is bad news.

Owner's manual also says transmission fluid is "lifetime" and doesn't need to be serviced. They're very clearly wrong as ZF says to service it. 5w-30 offers superior protection, it's not a "oil cap" thing it's a tribology thing.

So you're never going to change your transmission fluid then?

What makes a 5w-30 a 5w-30 and not a 5w-20? It's the measured HT/HS value at 100 degrees celsius. When the oil is colder, say, at 0C, it will be much thicker, maybe a 5w-40. When it's at 150C it's thinner, maybe a 5w-20 at that point. Shorter answer: yes you can safely run different grades of...

Drugs sound like a heck of a ride.

No. This is what guys who don't understand math like to think, but it is wrong. This isn't marriage where there are feelings and attractions and character flaws. Example. You have Bob with 2 bottles of 500ml of water, and you have Fred with 1 bottle of 2l of water. You don't need to drink all...

The math is the only thing that doesn't lie, or get confused, or have a poor memory etc. The math says the 3.21 is a better truck in every way, so it is.

There is nothing to test, it's a math formula. The v8 tundra with the 6 speed has a first gear ratio of only 3.333 whereas the new Rams have a first gear ratio of 5. Ram: 5 * 3.21 = 16.05 Tundra: 3.333 * 4.30 = 14.3319 Clearly the Ram digs harder from a stop. There is literally nothing about...

Indeed, thanks for the laughs; because the 3.21 has a shorter first gear with the ZF than the Tundra with a 4.30, and it has 2 more gears on top of it all. The factual points are, the 3.21 destroys the tundra on 3 key points: 1) shorter first gear (better for off the line pulling) 2) taller...
