Yep, this is what the mules running around look like in spy photos. There is NO WAY I'd buy something this ugly.

The irony is this is why the lifters and valvetrain fail. The factory spec oil is insufficient for a V8 engine powering a 5,600 lb. vehicle that can tow 5 tons. Almost every guy I've talked to with valvetrain failure has either had the dealership service their truck, or they've done it...

23.5" front, 25" rear measured from the center of hub to lip of fender flare. I like to measure this way because it eliminates variances in tire sizes as guys all over this forum all run different tires.

I did the Motofab 2/1.5 kit. I love it. It's perfect in my mind. Obviously it eliminates 0.5" of the factory rake, but it still leaves rake which is what you want. When I haul and tow I don't want headlights shining into the stratosphere. I also don't want to lose 25% of my MPG because air...

Well as I recall, bearings were a problem in the Gen 2 engines as well. There are a lot of guys in the Gen 3 EcoDiesel Owners page on FB that swear the new engine is better but I'm not so sure. I had two, a 20 and a 21, and both showed high aluminum with each report. MOST of the reports I've...

It is? Same bearings, seals, and everything?

Good choice in length. I did a 22" Dynomax on mine, which is built extremely similar to the Magnaflow. Deleted the resos with the B2 Fab kit. It's perfect. Very quiet and almost stock while idling and driving through town, but sounds like heaven when under load or accelerating. ZERO drone...

Why don't any of the usual vendors have 3.92 R&P kits for the 5th Gen trucks? I've found some 3.92 front axle assemblies on eBay for $1k complete, and new ones can be had for around $1,300 complete. But it's a moot point if I can't find a matching rear gear set. Not paying $3,500 for a rear...

Maybe, but until 2023 the Challenger was the #1 seller in the segment. It was even outselling the Mustang, despite the Mustang being a much more established nameplate and the car itself being all-new for 2015. Why? Hemi. The buzz around Scat Packs, Hellkittens, Demons, etc. is what kept the...

In the long run none of this will matter because Stellantis is running the company directly into the ground. They are letting sales shrink for the first time in YEARS. A Challenger with no V8? Good luck trying to sell those. They have no small cars to keep CAFE scores up. I read that their...

And then there are those of us who are buying trucks, not sports cars, and performance is a low priority. We want dependable power, i.e. V8 Hemi with no direct injection, no turbos, no fancy EGR systems, and an oil dipstick.

Does anybody have an actual part number on the front axle assembly with 3.92 ratio? I've looked at some online Mopar parts vendors and there's like 15 different axle part numbers and none of them are noted by ratio.

Rumor has it the "surprise" reveal coming tomorrow is just that: the "Hurricane" I-6TT engine for the Ram pickups. Said to make 510 horsepower in top trim, hence the announcement coming on 5-10.

Impressive. My brother still has his 2013 Supercrew FX4 with EcoBust. He's had it for many years. It finally passed 100k last year. I don't think a single year has gone by that we haven't had to work on it. It's always something with that truck. And just when we thought we finally had the...

Towing? EcoBust all day. Random traffic signal drag race? EcoBust 6 days a week and twice on Sunday. The power of the Eco engines can't be denied, especially with the new 10R100 trans. I no joke have seen them pull away from V8 Mustangs when the light turns green. However, if we're talking...

Black sidewalls are so boring. I wish more tires had white lettering on one side.

I would get that repaired under warranty, drive it for a week to confirm it's fixed, then switch to 5W30 synthetic and never let the dealership touch it again. Mine ticked like hell for the first 5,000 miles and has been as quiet as a mouse ever since because I drained the factory fill water...

The long time industry standard has been roughly 3 gallons of fuel remaining when the DTE hits 0. They program this in on purpose as a safety buffer because there are so many people who run it to the ragged edge before refueling. Now, from truck to truck you may have some differences in...

They really should have painted the grille black on the Backcountry trim. Would have looked a lot better.

And I will also mention that I'm running a true 35" tire on my Hemi also, which puts the truck at a big disadvantage with the 3.21 gearing. If I still had the tiny little 32" stock tires, or even a 33" stock tire like came on the 4th Gen trucks, I'm betting I could add 2-3 MPG to those towing...
