    Rough ride

    Please come back and give us your impressions of the Fox 2.0’s!! Should certainly be better than Bilstien at low speed. Thank you in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    V-8

    That’s because what really matters is how many screens there are, and how big?

    2025 3.0L I6 K&N Performance Air Intake System

    It’s for when you want hotter air filtered by a screen door. The sound is nice though.

    If the 5.7 Hemi goes away in 2024, I'm out of the RAM

    If it’s not a bot, I’d bet dollars to donuts salesman put him in a Pentastar. I have it on good authority those do feel like a V6.

    2025 3.0L I6 K&N Performance Air Intake System

    That doesn’t sound good at all. Would have to believe timing is seriously pulled at those temps. Were you watching IAT’s before the swap? Would be super interesting to compare to stock.

    What would you prefer?

    Exactly, not many people probably lining up to get their picture taken with an EV. Good plan to stick with roll races.

    Gravel Road driving

    That was my first thought when I read your post. MudFlaps / Rock guards?

    Opinions on Level vs Lift

    IMHO lift kits are just for looks, or muddin’. If neither of those are your priority then a level will give you more options, easier install, better handling and less of a hit to resale (reversible).

    1500 vs. 2500 (any maker) road manners

    I mean, I could frame a house using a ball peen hammer. But it’s going to suck. Otherwise I agree with the theory that properly setup and driven there is no reason a 1500 can’t tow right up to its rated limit. And engine power is never the limiting factor. But if I have to do it often, may...

    V-8

    This is very true. Hybridized regenerative braking remedies much of this and is actually pretty cool, but then you’re back to what I don’t like about any advanced tech… just more systems to fail.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    TBF, another 5 year Husky flap user with no issues. I thought for sure they’d get torn off long ago, but they still look great and allow me to run 34’s without any trimming.

    What would you prefer?

    I’m not saying a Hellcat isn’t cooler than some EV; it definitely is. Just saying speed isn’t the sole, or even leading, characteristic of some of these awesome ICE cars that makes them so awesome. EVs have commoditized quickness at least, if not speed itself, and made it consistently...

    What would you prefer?

    …. And unless you’re betting on a 40-roll or a prepped surface, I wouldn’t offer up that pink slip.

    2025 Ram 1500 Standard Output Towing

    Once you go enclosed you’re no longer pulling a trailer, but a parachute. The engine works harder to pull even the same weight. But, I’d bet it’s fine from a drivetrain perspective. I’d just monitor temps closely, as boost creates heat. If things get warm, use the transmission gear selector...

    , shock replacement with air ride suspension

    There’s an Off stood Group package even for air suspension trucks purported to include “HD Shocks” or “off road tuned” shocks, depending where n what marketing materials you are looking at. So I presume the difference is just the shock body. But what the difference is, whether it’s truly a...

    4 link from a gladiator?

    What would you be hoping to accomplish in doing so, I wonder? DTs already have a 5 link / 4 link + Panhrd bar rear.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Both awesome trucks but I have a soft spot for that generation Dakota & Durango. Especially one R/T flavored. Looks great.

    limited rear shock replacement

    Yes, either would be good candidates for the rear as they can accommodate the range of ride heights. Rear shocks are physically separate from the air bags in the rear and mount in traditional fashion.

    A very serious question...

    This is a nearly impossible question to answer - as in, better in what way? Limiting the question to engine choice alone is tough, expanding to the total vehicle and all their possible trims… well, as stated earlier - not enough BS in your life?? It’s time to start driving a bunch of trucks...

    2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

    Ah good to know. I’ve only looked at some of his more popular suspension videos. I’ve long been a “as low as possible, as high as necessary” guy when it comes to leveling / lifts, just based on experience and the mechanics of installing / working on IFS. Kai actually puts it into good words...
