    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    Has anyone tried to add a bottle of astrolube to top off an oil change? Now that will really get the engine running extra smooth.

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    No Joke in high school I had a friend that disconnected the intake on his 93 Integra and put a pair of his moms pantyhose at the end of it and holy **** that thing was crazy fast and had a super loud intake growl after. It was at that point I realized that less restriction to the airflow the...

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    Yea K&n and others are completely out of their minds for doing anything to improve the factory setup right? I take it you dont have any experience first hand to experience a difference for yourself. There are obviously other people who have actually used a less restrictive filter and had better...

    New tires and adjustment issues

    That is totally off, if its driving straight then you just need to have the steering wheel recentered

    New tires and adjustment issues

    To be fair, i had the dealer realign the truck 10 mins after taking delivery of it. It was pulling to the right ans steering wheel was off so not all new trucks are aligned perfectly

    Can you provide any feedback on how it felt to you after you actually installed one? Did you notice any difference in idling rps or in the pedal response?

    New tires and adjustment issues

    Probably, you shoild also see when the last time they had their machine calibrated, from what i understand, centering of the steering wheel was different from tje alignment, i had an issue with that on my old truck where the tire shop did an alignment but i jad tk take it back a few time and...

    New tires and adjustment issues

    I added 33x12.5 22 ridge grapplers and did not have an alignment done and everything is great.

    Horrific Gas Mileage Hemi eTorque

    I have around 4500miles now on my limited 4x4 etorque, I averagely get around 11.5-12 mpg combined on city and highway always running Chevron 89 octane, I have been getting around the same regardless of when it was stock, or after I added off-road 33’s and a bed cover and different intake filter...

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    Yea sure let me see if I can find It first, but like I said before, now I have a full catback exhaust and I’m installing a Pulsar tuner tomorrow, so not sure how it will change things since I first wrote it up, what could possibly be my motivation to over hype this filter? It’s a basic $26 part...

    You guys are so funny, how can you even compare theory and ideas to what actually happened?

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    If I cared that much I would, plus I don’t have free time to deal with all that. I never made any HP gain claims, just that it feels more responsive and idles lower. Now the Edge Pulsar piggyback ECU I ordered will be here on Friday and I know that will make a Huge difference.

    Best tuner for 2019 Ram 1500

    i ordered mine last week and was told it would be 2 days, still haven't received it. now they say another few days like they forgot to ship my order or something, cant wait to install and see how it pairs up with the Carven exhaust I have and the 33's I have on my stock 22" wheels.

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    yea I can only speak from actual results that i have experienced with my Ram with Etorque and with the 3.92 rear end, it wasn't a placebo effect or delusions of grandeur, resting rpm's dropped, throttle response was better, now why that is i cannot tell you and to the actual science behind it i...

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    you know i might actually do that, I have started a youtube channel recently detailing a few things on the Ram and i have to see if i threw out the old filter or have it but i will definitely try to make a comparison video about that to put it to rest. I have recently added the Carven catback...

    must be a strange coincidence that it happens the second I drop in that air filter.

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    i have had aftermarket intakes, or filters on cars for all my vehicles, never had an issue, always had a benefit. i'm not worried about any warranty claims or any issue. The dealer can say whatever they want but if they cannot prove the aftermarket intake or any other upgrade caused the problem...

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    not sure how but it seems like it has to work less or easier to pull air through? either way for sure 100% the rpm's have sat lower since i got the simple air filter and that was even before i did the exhaust.

    Cheap intake upgrade o my Limited really made a difference.

    yea actually it is. maybe you should try it before doubting everything. noticing rpm's drop is something my 4 year old could do, you just see the actual needle move from where it was usually at around 2000 rpm's to around 1500 rpm's, and you can notice less resistance on the pedal. I know...
