That's because the lighter duty models (Durango, Gladiator, Wrangler, etc) are programmed to automatically switch into a towing program when weight is detected. This was stated directly by engineers in videos when the new models debuted a few years back.
If Tow/Haul mode weren't beneficial, it...
Yeah I'm super happy with mine. I have 35" tires and a 2" lift and we went on vacay last week with the family in the cab and the entire bed completely full of gear and I got 19.8 MPG coming home and 20.2 going to the destination.
Without even realizing how bad things were going to go downhill, I brought home a '22 at the very end of production. I got the fender flares, non-hybrid Hemi, and a few other goodies that we had no idea were going to disappear. Sometimes I think I should keep this truck forever, because it's...
Since the Auto selection allows more slippage at the center differential, it in turn builds heat even faster, which can lead to overheating even faster. I assume some guys try 4-high in an attempt to keep things locked up in the center diff and keep temps down. On snowy roads either is fine...
I suppose a guy could wrap them in that fancy exhaust heat wrap prior to bolting them on. There are two schools of thought on that though...some folks think the wrap holds moisture and that's bad.
Is anyone else here surprised that these videos of people with pro-America and/or conservative views are allowed to stay online? I mean, the fact that we can watch George Carlin rat them out, just as one example of thousands....how is that still online for all to watch? I'm shocked the...
Or, maybe they ride like s*** because it's an objective fact that Bilstein designs their shocks to be more firm and the stroke is different. Yeah, yeah that's probably more like it.
I've done everything from full blown lift kits to Bilstein levels to spacer kits on probably 20 or 30 rigs from...
As someone who has done leveling kits both ways, I 100% disagree with this advice. The Bilstein 5100s ride like s*** and it's pretty hard to guess how much actual lift you're going to get. Plus they are much harder to install so most guys end up paying to get them installed. Conversely, a...
I think that in a *towing* situation the benefit of Tow/Haul mode is that it adds hydraulic line pressure, which in turn reduces wear inside the transmission. Sure, it also uses engine braking more aggressively and it tries to avoid 8th gear to protect the transmission, but the main benefit is...
Dodge/Ram really got my attention with their "The New Dodge" campaign back in the early 1990s. In my opinion, the '94 truck is what saved the company. Things only got better from there, as sales of the new truck brought money into the company to improve other products. By '98 my father...
If I were going to buy a new truck today, it would be a Ford F-350 Supercrew 4x4 XL. I'd add the XL Off Road package, roof clearance lights, spray in bedliner, step rails, and maybe the Pro Power Onboard package. Would come out around $56k sticker and would be MUCH more capable as a truck and...
Wow. Biggest change of this entire thread. That truck looked like a lowered street truck before, and looks like it's not even the same truck after. Crazy what a difference. It's a travesty how low these trucks sit to the ground from the factory and how short the little OE tires are. I...
My current truck proves a point that I want to make about this thread, which is that the "take rate" can be confusing. Just because somebody buys something, that doesn't necessarily mean it's what they truly wanted.
My truck has 3.21 open diff. I would MUCH rather have 3.92 limited slip...
I'm sorry that happened to you. That really sucks.
Whether or not the extender is to blame would be debatable since the anchor point of the receptacle is not changing. The only thing that changes is a couple inches of the webbing is replaced by solid material. That should make no difference...
Ram Cares sucks. They ask a question, get an answer, then ghost us for months, then when they show back up they list all the reasons they added the stupid feature to begin with. WE DON'T CARE. We never asked for the feature and we don't want it. Allow us to choose!
