5.7 crate engine: 6.4 crate engine:

I believe that is the 6.4, not the 5.7.

Assuming the two trucks are otherwise equal, the only thing that matters is which truck is running closer to the peak hp RPM when it "tops out" (w/o speed limiter). That is the truck that is overcoming the most drag and is therefore going the fastest. I have no idea which axle ratio that would...

Nice intake. Strange: Vararam's website shows that this is available for 4th Gen only. They also don't show pricing. Do you mind if I ask what these go for?

Confirmation bias is a real thing. Hard to say if it's a factor in this case.

Perhaps???? If you read the markings on the OEM glass for the windshield and front windows, you'll see "ACOUSTIC". Isolates the interior from noise better.

Was it acoustic glass? I think that would be the main thing to look for.

But can I park it at the Golden Corral.

I get 22 mpg at 75-77 mph with a family of four in the truck. If I keep it below 70 mph (like on U.S. highways vs interstate), I've averaged 23.5 mpg. These are averages over 250-300 miles, not instant mpg. As far as MDS goes, I can definitely feel when it's on. The truck shudders slightly...

Mine is seamless. It's almost like the engine just magically starts running as I release the brake pedal. The 48V motor is designed to give you a slight push (1/2 wheel turn) as you lift off the brake pedal so the truck moves slightly as if the engine had never shut off. Very good emulation...

Yeah, kind of. I notice it when I back out of my garage. The unequal firing intervals of a cross-plane V8 contribute to it as well. I think there is a rule written somewhere that you cannot officially call it a lope unless your truck shakes. :ROFLMAO:

Turning off traction control seems to help. It certainly doesn't shift firmly, but I've had it "stumble" a couple of times when shifting 1st-2nd recently, which must have been due to traction control. No, it wasn't wet or icy on the roads.

The 1st-to-2nd gear shift on mine is not even a "flat line". More like a dropoff.

My 2021 5.7 E-torque shifts like a wuss-bag at WOT. It's clearly backing out timing and fuel delivery to make the shifts softer and minimize warranty claims. Are there any settings that change this, such as: tow-haul mode, turning off traction control, setting the gear limiter to 1st gear, or...

I'm glad you used a static speed example. I should have stuck with that in my examples. In reality, the truck needs the same 100hp regardless of gear ratio to hold the truck at a constant speed X. What changes is the torque requirement. The truck will require about 18% less torque, but 22%...

As long as it's not microwave popcorn. That stuff is NASTY.

The concept of an engine working harder (i.e. less efficiently) is somewhat counterintuitive. A vehicle requires a certain amount of horsepower to be accelerated from a stop to a certain speed at a certain rate of acceleration. Let's say it takes 100hp for purposes of this example. The setup...

Everyone knows 3.92's contribute to global warming. You guys should be ashamed.

That's more true than you may realize because the speedo will read artificially high as well since it is based on rotations and not actual ground speed.

My Big Horn eTorque has a 26-gallon tank. I crawled under the truck to verify part numbers and later figured out that I could pull up a build sheet online. As I understand it, the dealer would have selected the 26-gallon tank as a $0 option.
