    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Just did my 2nd oil change. I discovered that I can get at the oil filter from the front rather than from the bottom. Much easier.

    89 octane recommend, does it really make a difference?

    The ECU will pull timing if it detects knock from low octane gas. That said knock likely isn't an issue with most regular driving. Towing and hard acceleration then yes the better gas makes a difference. Because pulling timing means less power.

    Anyone removed the Filter that's in the intake lid?

    OP are you asking about the white filter above the normal filter? If so it's a charcoal filter to absorb fuel fumes after the engine is stopped. I took mine out. Made zero difference but was a stupid emissions crap anyway.

    What's with the oil catch cans?

    A catch can is a good thing but it adds maintenance as it must be emptied. It is absolutely not necessary, but keeping oil out of the combustion chambers reduce issues down the road with carbon build up also keep the cats running in spec longer etc. If you don't mind a little extra maintenance...

    Is it Enough to Disable MDS via Gear Limiter?

    Except for the eco light that I had to enable I can't tell when MDS is on or off. I doubt using gears to disable it actually accomplished anything.

    Cylinder deactivation? 5.7

    On my truck the eco light had to be enabled to see it. MDS was working just no eco light.

    Lifter noise seems louder or just now noticed?

    Some "tick" can be fuel injectors cycling which is normal.

    HEMI is not GDI.

    Does anyone else accidentally turn the radio/AC up instead of putting truck in drive?

    Wonder is there's a safety to keep someone from accidentally going to park while on the highway. There was a joke when that shift knob came out. It was about Nickelback comes on the radio and all of a sudden you spun out in the median.

    5778 miles on 2020 RAM and I'm getting a misfire cylinder 4 P0304 code. Ugh...

    They replaced the coil and the plugs. My guess bad coil took the plugs out.

    what makes an engine hemi?

    Well they could have 4 valves but the valve train would be extremely complicated so it's not worth it.

    what makes an engine hemi?

    Coyote has 4 valves with makes is a pent roof not a Hemispherical. Newer Hemi's are not truly hemisphereical now either since the switch to the oval chambers.

    Mopar exhaust vs corsa sport

    I have Corsa Sports on my C6 Vette. I'm very happy with them. I'll probably do the same on the Ram when funds allow.

    This is disapointing. Hope it's a simple fix. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow.

    Hemi Exhaust Manifold bolts

    You would think, but there are engines with the exhaust headers cast into the heads these days. For example the 3.2 Pentastar and the Honda 1.8L I4 both have cast in E manifolds. Also Manufactures have been using AL heads with cast Iron exhaust manifolds for decades. There is no reason Ram...

    Can unlocked PCM dammage TCM?

    I'd say it's unlikely but not impossible. That's a tough one. I can't find much info on what actually gets done during a ECM unlock. If there was more information out there it would be easier to speculate.

    Which models have active air dam and grille shutters?

    Well good for you. Everything I've read about it said they didn't have it. Maybe it's a 2020 change IDK... Even the video going over the new chassis/frame which had the air suspension made a point to say the active air dam that was shown did not come with the air suspension package...

    Does removing the charcoal filter really do anything?

    This! It would have to be a visual inspection. As it don't have any affect when the engine is running.
