    What's with the oil catch cans?

    I haven't done a lot of research on each manufacturer, but from what little I have read I believe the Mishimoto has a complicated baffle system while the Billet has a much simpler one; both have some form of baffle, or they just wouldn't catch any oil and the companies would go out of business...

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    I presume you mean cylinders, as the oil originates from the crankcase and is intended to mostly stay there or things would very quickly get unpleasant for the pushrods. Watch the videos above; the system is designed to take excess pressure built up in the crankcase and vent that pressure along...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    MDS causes much higher than normal vibrations; the new trucks have added features specifically to assist in reducing the vibrations (such as shaker weights in the frame, which is why they claim to be able to utilize MDS more before the shaking becomes too violent), but the lower the RPM the...

    Two views and explanations from popular youtubers on the Catch Cans:

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    It's very simple: If you've spent the money on a catch can or already plan to, then it is a necessity that will pay for itself ten times over in multiple ways, including long term reliability and reduced overall engine maintenance (including wear and tear). If you decided against a catch can...

    Bed Step Install Doc and Pics

    I used a torque wrench, but couldn’t get the leverage to get it to “click” without popping off the bolt. Close enough, it is tight enough that removing it will not be fun if I need to transfer it to a new truck.

    Conflict between Preferred Package 25Z and 25Z Level 2 Equipment Group

    You have the trailer brake controller, which is different then the tow package. Tow package is just the brake controller plus the mirrors on the Laramie and Limited.

    Conflict between Preferred Package 25Z and 25Z Level 2 Equipment Group

    I didn't know the level two comes with the bed cover. It certainly didn't come with my Laramie, at least not in August when I ordered.

    TAZER DT for 2019 RAM 1500

    A bit off topic, but this behavior always got to me. It is annoying to disrupt traffic in order to bypass it, but it is far more dangerous to get caught and then cause stricter legislation that forces legitimate professionals and volunteers to be restricted from using them and less likely to...

    Backup Camera Centerline

    The Ram Rep I chatted with confirmed to me that all rams should have it, and that is why they added it to all of the manuals for all models. Other features in the manual distinguish between "If equipped" etc, but the Centerline does not.

    TAZER DT for 2019 RAM 1500

    The instructions state they can be programmed for parade use, though I didn't see how. Might need to get a custom firmware from the Manufacturer after providing proof of legitimate need and signing a release of liability.

    Anti spin Differential

    For Dirt Drifting, the LSD works better, with some specialized tires like a dirt rally car uses. You will need to go slower then a rally car is capable of, since the pickup is much heavier and that weight has a much higher center of gravity. For Street Drifting, you just want tires without...

    What is Known about the Bed Utility Group Options

    For those interested, the Divider for non-RamBox trucks with BUG is about $250 https://www.moparamerica.com/oem-parts/mopar-cargo-bed-divider-82215481 This may not be helpful for those that only agreed to the price at order if the divider was included, but RAM generally adds this cost to the...

    TAZER DT for 2019 RAM 1500

    You aren't trying to use Nav in motion and Turncam simultaneously, are you? Instructions state it should auto disable the other when one is selected, but if it isn't then they may conflict.

    Why are Limited and Longhorns city trucks?

    Lol, your KO2 All-Terrains on 20" tires are doing better than my stock H/T (highway rated for better MPG) All-Seasons on 18" tires (I am struggling to get 15 MPG). You should appreciate that kind of MPG in the heavy Limited with A/T Tires.

    TAZER DT for 2019 RAM 1500

    I messaged the vendor on Facebook (unashamedly begging for the discount), and they added me to their list and gave me the code. No promises, but worth a shot. I received mine yesterday, but I'm waiting to install it until April 5th since I am bringing the truck to the dealership for the pedal...

    Anti spin Differential

    Was Traction Control actually "OFF", or "Reduced"? There are multiple modes; hitting the button once just reduces it, but doesn't disable it. I believe that it primarily disables engine power reduction without changing the brake-simulated LSD much, which explains why it allowed enough power to...

    Mopar bed extender question

    I believe the instructions say to place the Template directly on the rubber stops, which is what I did. Here are the approximate measurements:

    Rebel TRX has been confirmed by FCA as part of their 5 year plan!

    That is true for the peak HP, however I also like to take into consideration the torque (227n-m for LS-218, while just 112n-m for the Panigale V4R https://www.livingwithgravity.com/news-top-7-motorcycles-of-2019-above-200-hp/) If we only considered peak HP, then many models of the RAM 1500 have...

    Rebel TRX has been confirmed by FCA as part of their 5 year plan!

    Electric is the holy grail of short range but very high power to weight, like the Lightning LS-218.
