Modern electrical systems do far more work than they have in the past. Batteries are an expendable item. A lot or cars have gone to smaller and lighter batteries than what was previously used. Are you getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

If it was all on road then 45K is nothing. You must locate the source. Don't just throw new parts at it randomly. Determine which corner its coming from. Then get under there when you have time to just look. If this has been going on for a while then it will leave signs. You might not be able to...

This is what I feel as well. Just as in Formula One everything was built on the ragged edge of balance speed vs durability, so to do auto manufactures juggle the cost vs durability equation. When the call came for a starter that had a multitude of previous starter's durability, it was easily...

Removed my post because it had nothing to do with: Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane? And as much as I love my paid off truck... and feel like everything is moving towards a over-engineered, complexity driven obsolescence, a 2026 or 2027 might be a real nice way to spend six figures!

Everything is a give or take, depending on your perspective. To me , my time is free. Time don't cost me a dime. In fact, at the time I was getting paid. But another way I could look at it is I paid almost $50 (fitty) bucks for shipping and it showed up like this. When it was handed to me nuts...

Fact: Starting your engine pulls more amps from the battery than any other function in your trucks operation. And I do not believe that he was saying that the eTorque system was putting more stress on the 12volt system, it's quite the contrary. But since were spit-ballin ideas, how's bout this...

No, I stand corrected. I did pay shipping. But here is my quote from the local dealership: And here's is the one from my online purchase, So I saved $2,436.19 by doing it myself and not bringing it to the Dealer.

Your BMW's battery management system was sophisticated enough to know that the start/stop function was dangerously increasing the the work load on the battery, that's why it wouldn't allow it to engage the S/S function until you replaced the battery. I used to be a technician for BMW in the...

I got the complete kit (Exh mani, gasket, 2-heat shields, 10-bolts, 6-nuts, and 2-reinforcement bars) Part number: 68591572AB for the passenger's side. Purchased online from WaldorfDodge for $86, instead of paying $150 from the local stealership. Saved $64 on parts alone! Installed at home in...

I completed the swap, new Rebel/Bilstein dampers installed INSIDE the original factory airbags. It went much better than I pessimistically feared. It appears that the Rebel shock extends another half inch in rebound. Airbag disassembly requires patients and finesse. But it can be done without...

Will be interesting to find out what the actual cause is. And what remedies the situation. It really strange that moving the wheels around had no effect. Did you say that it feels to be coming from the rear of the truck or is that just suspect because that's where you found up and down play in...

The reason that your suspension sits higher after you had it off the ground is because it is bound up. When it was off of the ground, the suspension drooped. When you set it down the tires are trying to "spread out" due to the suspensions geometry. Just have a look at the tires side wall once...

You are both very much correct. Ask yourself why all the NASCAR trucks ride like this? One of the major reasons that trucks don't get better mileage on the highway is due to the fact that poor aerodynamics increases the coefficient of drag exponentially with speed. Where as the Hemi may be more...

Is that the Grizwald's new vacation mobile?

Source? It's hard to imagine that the "Clown-World" we now live in would allow such a thing as an increase in power at the expense of economy. Right?

I for one, would love to see the HP & TRQ curves laid out in an comparison overlay. Or just the dyno plot of each engine so that we could see exactly which engine has better numbers in the normal driving range RPMs.

I wish everyone would include, at the very least in their signatures, their home state. There have been many times when this info would have help with solving their problems or concerns.

😲 Uh oh, no you didn't just go there?!

I always hear this about "time to settle" but what changes? Is it the new springs' "break-in" period? And since I've opened this can-o-worms: Springs are always referred to as "Lbs/Inch" but which inch? The first one from static with a particular load or the second, maybe the third? In...

Correct, air bag length = Psi. inside the bag. Therefore any change to the air bags static length changes it's "effective spring rate" characteristics. Consider the thought that the engineers used to determine the precise amount of air volume that inside the air bag. More volume would result in...
