Another vote for the 2500 here! 6.4 hemi and 3.73 gearing will be plenty for what you're doing.
Sure a 1500 could do it a few times a year, but it will be sketchy. a 2500 will do it comfortably and could do it all day, and every day.
They tested the plug, I assume with a multimeter. They said #4 glow plug is fried. Wiring all checked out and it wasn’t unplugged. Sorry, my wording made it seem like they did nothing besides hit the OBD port, but either way kinda surprised the plug kicked the bucket at only 65k miles.
So, dealer plugged in and said it’s a bad glow plug, easy peezy. Scheduled the repair for a few weeks out, in the meantime just driving the truck like normal and using the block heater for the cold nights.
I guess also something to take into account for that drag race would be tread pattern and tire pressure. I imagine the Rebel at 55 psi on A/T tires and the Laramie at 36 psi on Highway treads wouldn’t hook up the same from a dig. Especially with traction control on. I’m probably overthinking...
So upon doing some quick research the 18” Duratracs (54 pounds) are 17 pounds heavier each than the Duelers (37 pounds.) Do those rims make up for that 17 pounds? Both trucks on a dyno, which one would have more power in your experience?
Also thanks for the answers, and I appreciate the...
So then the larger tires on the smaller 18 inch wheels would be additional unsprung weight, right?
Plus the Rebel in the test I assume would be on Goodyear Duratracs? And I suppose the Laramie would be on H/L Bridgestone Duelers, right?
My point exactly, I’m no expert, just poking fun. But I’d bet that tire size makes more difference than the 120 pounds. I’m curious to see what two actual identical (besides gearing of course) trucks would do.
Potentially very dumb question incoming. The connectors on the end of the wires that attach to each glow plug, do they just pull straight up and off? Or is there some sort of clip in them?
Evening everybody, just rolled 65k miles last week on the Ecodiesel. Truck started a little bit slow this afternoon and the glow plug indicator illuminated followed by a check engine light. Code read P0674, glow plug cylinder 4 circuit open. Anyone ever have this issue before? I imagine it’s...
I was under the impression that the wait we've all been experiencing is because they did design some sort of holder in all the newer produced ones to prevent the cups from rotating and destroying their rollers, perhaps I'm mistaken.
I would try disconnecting or even testing that battery before swapping the whole DEF tank and fill level sensor. Not certain that disconnecting the battery will help, maybe the trucks brain just needs to be turned off and back on again. In my experience with heavy equipment often the fill level...
