    Trailer TPMS

    I have read a few towing blogs where folks have said they need to be on metal stems as they seem to cause the rubber ones to eventually leak.

    No Hellwig for Christmas

    just about everything is way high now. just hope nobody swipes your catalytic converter. seems they have doubled in price. according to the money guys, all next year will be more of the same so may as well bite the bullet. swapping out the sway bar is a worthy upgrade. I shop everyday for a new...

    How do I find the axle ratio of my RAM?

    I have 3.92 rear end and am glad I do. the truck has plenty get up and go and it is a great gear for towing. at 70 I think the rpms are around 1900 and when not towing I nearly always get 20 mpg if I stay under 80.

    G/T hood advertised as functional

    I have the sport hood..just for looks. as for the air box. there are other blogs about it. most say the oem one works well. out of habit, I put a K&N type filter in mine right after I bought it. I have used them for many years in all my vehicles. buy once and rinse out every year unless I...

    Which affects gas mileage negatively more on a Hemi... Not having eTorque or having a 3.92 Rear?

    I get plenty good mileage for a truck..over 20 on the highway at 75-78 cruise..if you drive in stop and go traffic a lot the etorque would most likely give you better mileage because the 8 speed tranny has very low 1st gear and the etorque gets you off the line with a little boost.

    Great gas mileage

    on the highway at 75-78 cruise I get up to 21.5 sometimes..usually around 20. pulling my 28'x 6000# travel trailer at 68-70 I get 8.5-11 depending on the terrain.
