    Hemi Exhaust Manifold bolts

    If the bolts are broken and sticking out of the block after you remove the manifold just grab them with a set of vice grips. If broken flush out a few beads on the bolt with a welder and then grab with a set of vice grips. Drilling takes too long and has a huge chance of making something worse...

    Which OCD Plug to get for 8.4”

    TheOCDplug.com has 20% off right now using code Santa20off and I want to pick one up, problem is I’m 600km away from my truck. I have the 8.4” non-nav screen in my truck, so I order the 8.4” Large square corner or the 8.4” small rounded corner? Couldn’t get a hold of their customer support and...

    REGEN Pages Added To MY2022

    My ‘21 has these pages. Never want to see any of those messages as it means that something is likely going wrong with your SCR/DPF system. Nothing has popped up yet on mine in 6 months and 12000k of ownership.

    I think there is an issue with my truck - Gas Mileage

    My EcoDiesel Rebel is getting 12.7L/100 in the -20C city driving right now. In normal temps it’s about 11/100 City and I have seen as low as 8.5/100 highway. Only way to go with these trucks.

    Towed First Time Today

    Sway issues = improper weight distribution Likely need more weight to front axle, or higher tongue weight. I tow a 33’ 7600lb 11’3” tall travel trailer and have no issues. It took a few attempts to get the hitch dialed to get enough weight back to the front axle, but when I did, the ED towed...

    About to pull the trigger on a Travel Trailer - need some of your inputs to confirm my understanding....

    I’m towing 33’ on my Dutchmen 268bhs at 7600lbs. Zero sway with my blue ox pro. The key is dialing in the hitch for proper weight distribution. Most don’t put enough weight back to their front axle leading to understeer and an overloaded rear axle, very dangerous. What many describe as sway is...

    Screen brightness

    Auto headlights typically suck anyway and don’t come on in the more dangerous fringe lighting type scenarios. Easy solution, set the brightness at full unless your lights are on and manually turn your lights on.

    Lower Temperature EcoDiesel Thermostat

    Unless you’re changing programming to adjust for the Tstat your performance will go down as your PCM will be constantly trying to add more fuel/rpm to get up to design operating temp. This may even throw a code long term. What are you trying to solve with the lower temp?

    Tire to close to UCA ?

    I’d worry with that rub line already evident in your pictures. Having had a tire separate at high speed before it’s not something you want to experience. Any constant, or near constant rub will weaken the sidewall and lead to a high likelihood of a blowout. I’d recommend some spacers on your setup.

    ESC traction control problem

    I had this with no lift and it turned out to be a star case where a vacuum line was not connected to the front of the engine.

    Reverse whine

    I’ve heard reverse whine from every vehicle that has ever been driven backwards near me at more than 5kph. Typically don’t hear it at really low speeds.

    Winter fuel MPG Hit

    Anyone else now averaging 2-3mpg less with winter blend diesel? Was getting 22-24 in my Rebel ED, 80% city. Now getting 19-21 with the same mix of driving. I don’t idle it or use remote start to warm up. Hoping this is the winter blend.

    TPMS Calibration Off

    Anyone else have a TPMS sensor that reads off? I set my pressure with a digital pressure gauge and it’s accurate within .1 PSI. One of my tires always reads 2 psi less. Anyway to calibrate the sensor? It drives me nuts. Doesn’t matter which corner the tire is on either.

    Stiffer rear springs

    From what I understand the rebel and ORP springs are the same. The bags I have are the airlift 1000HD. Airlift has these recommended for the rebel, but I think the bags should be at least an inch longer if not 2.5” to fill the coil at unladen ride height.

    Night Edition Grille Applique?

    That should be a super easy paint job for any body shop. A little masking and hit all of the visible areas, no need for removal and reinstall.
