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

    The price ain’t crazy. A good suspension with UCAs for coil suspension OPENS around $2k so this is very reasonable. Especially for Limited buyers.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    Indeed, if we follow that argument to the end of the path we find that EVs are massively less complex than any ICE engine. So complexity isn’t the issue, is it? Just say “I don’t like the Hurricane” and that’s fine.

    Ferraiolo1 Ram Sport

    When DD first came out with these there were some problems with certain tow package specs on F150s where the truck would think a trailer was connected. DD quickly took care of everyone affected sending them new harnesses free and making permanent design changes. They had a great response...

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    Yup. I still don’t want a Tundra buy by golly did they man up to their mistake in a very Toyota way. Never in a million years would we see a Big 3 manufacturer do the same. Keeps me open to one of their products down the road, perhaps a Land Cruiser or 4Runner though.

    SO Hurricane at drag strip

    It’s just how the math shakes out in any particular setup. The guys building bonkers blown f150 coyotes for the quarter mile are speccing the lowest 3.31 axles.

    2025 Ram 1500 Hurricane SO towing test

    Interesting. If the pump is indeed electric and the trans tuning is good, that could well be why they did so well to make it all the way to the top!

    2025 Ram 1500 Hurricane SO towing test

    I bet they lugged the damn engine the whole way up too. Not sure the to/haul mode on these new trucks but if the revs are below the torque peak - say less than 2,500 rpm - that’s relying on tons of boost, ergo heat. Not to mention less coolant flow.

    Replacement shock absorbers on a 4-corner air-suspension Ram.

    The pressure inside the shock is vastly higher than in the airbag, probably between 150-250 psi.

    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    If that counts, don’t forget Nissan did it on the first Titan, too. Back when they had ideas and not just financing for bad credit.

    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    If it’s not a daily, and you aren’t tackling the rubicon trail on the regular, then 100% I’d be getting the long bed. It is a truck after all. The whole reason for a short bed IMO is to make dailying the thing easier. But in the case of the extra 9” it’s not a huge difference anyway. I went...

    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    I Think that whether a quad cab offers enough space is dependent on what it’s for… For a quick trip to the store? School drop off? Etc. probably. If it’s your road trip machine, no one will be happy back there. Kids in car seats won’t fit (I tried) and while legroom is better than expected...

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    People really need to be scanning the codes themselves before taking it in. Any chain parts store can for this free. Possibly there are many different issues. Possibly not. Certainly sounds like they’re just making up diagnosis.

    Actually it’s another EPA compliance change. Now we’re tackling light pollution.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Ah, very interesting. Makes sense. Digressive valving is good for hauling. Fox are Linear valves.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    People have various thoughts about Bilstien shocks, but one thing they are certainly fantastic for is towing, and that’s what the Rebel has that a Big Horn doesn’t (assuming stock for stock). Wonder if that is a difference maker in your confidence level?

    harman kardon is nothing than a bag of trash

    Ford offers multiple tiers of B&O systems in their vehicles, AND overhauls them every couple of years too. So comparisons are very difficult. For instance I’ve heard the B&O Unleashed in the 21-23 F150 is outstanding. But their Middle tier is also a B&O system (“Leashed” I presume?) and is...

    Breaking: New Manifolds for 5.7L DT Soon from BD Diesel

    I think BD is trying to diversify since the writing is on the wall for diesel. Hopefully their reputation and quality follows. I used them on my F150, no complaints.

    Weird… must be that time of year.

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    I had a feeling, I think one such 3.6 misfire report right on this here forum. An understanding of which, if any, hard parts changed on the 3.6 is surely an analysis already done at corporate. Should further implicate a software issue vs a hard part problem. Which admittedly doesn’t really...
