    Turbo I-6 Rebel?

    GN never had an I6 FYI. You realize the 3.5 Ecoboost, when equipped, is rated to tow more than your Ram? It makes more power and is quicker as well. Tune a 2.7 or 3.5 Ecoboost and a 5.7 Ram wouldn't even be in the same zip code in a drag race. So you could have had a truck that could haul...

    Finally Towed With My Ram

    I honestly wouldn’t worry about it but others will disagree. I took my Camaro to the track and started dialing it in as soon as the new engine was put in. My truck had 3500 miles on it before I hooked anything up to it only because it was middle of winter when I bought it and had no need to tow...

    To fill up with E-15 (88) or 87-89 Octane

    Definitely not normal for gas mileage to increase with E85. My buddy runs E85 in his Tahoe every once in awhile and his MPG drops significantly. The only issues with E85 I have seen in the performance world is some injectors get a black goo in them from either the E85 sitting in them or...

    Center Console Squeak

    I just told them the lid squeaked, they verified, and ordered a new one for me.

    If you had to choose..

    You swap out the 5.7 already?

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    Haha. Yeah that’d be helpful. I should have done that.

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    It’s a little scary at first!

    If you had to choose..

    I like everything about mine minus the wheels. I don't care for chrome but don't want to spend the money right now to change them out.

    To fill up with E-15 (88) or 87-89 Octane

    Like you stated, the manual says 15% is fine. I have not personally ran it yet in my truck but around here our regular 87 that I run has up to 10% ethanol. I am going to give E15 a shot at some point to see if I notice much MPG decrease. Ethanol cools better than gasoline. It pulls more heat...

    Finally Towed With My Ram

    I posted this on the FB group but figured I'd throw it up here as well. I finally had the chance to tow with my truck over the weekend. All in all, I was impressed with how it did. I hooked up my 18' car trailer and set out for the gas station. After filling up the truck I pulled the empty...

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    My bracket was the same way. I installed it as it came. Wasn't going to waste more time on my leased truck and no one will ever see it.

    Gas mileage v8 without Etorque..... 4wd

    Since I started using the Fuely App I am at 13.9 MPG. My commute is 25 miles each way, 10 miles of that is 55 mph speed limit, another 12 is 65-70 mph, and the final 3 is actually in town with a 45 mph speed limit with several lights that I usually hit. My best MPG is 15.2 and that was in...

    Adding Factory brake controller?

    I would think all the plugs would be there. Did they look?

    Laramie Rental shifts way different than my Limited. Possible Trans update?

    I’ll have to mention this to them when I take mine back for the rear brake TSB.

    Maxtrac 1.5” Front Spacer

    This looks promising. I would still like to have somewhat of a rake to mine as I will be towing with it often.

    Laramie Rental shifts way different than my Limited. Possible Trans update?

    I asked my service advisor if they could check for any updates to the engine/trans and he said unless I state there's an issue with something they won't update it. Found that kind of odd. Mine shifts smooth most of the time but at times when downshifting it can be a little harsh. Also, my MPG is...

    A/C Performance

    I haven't fully had the opportunity to test my A/C yet living in Iowa, but it was 80* on Saturday and I tried it out. I put it on LO, A/C on, fan blowing on 3 and it never felt cold like it did in my previous vehicle (2003 Suburban 2500). I will wait to pass judgment until we get an 85*+ day...

    2.5" motofab lift w/Mopar lift ucas

    Gives me some hope then with my ORG truck. I want to do the 2" level but don't want to pay the price of the aftermarket UCA's so I wanted to use the Mopar ones. I know, gotta pay to play, but it will stay stock before I spend that much for just a 2" level.
