I see you like to live dangerously... or not at all if she reads the forums...

That's great! So you probably benefit from this kind of thing much less than someone who is new. Hard disagree.

That's not what I said. Reread the posts. And you make the choice to be insulted, you don't have to be. Someone disses your truck, carry on and get over it. Neither did I. Where are you getting 240 from? Nobody has any idea why you're arguing.

I think it's clear you're incapable of following the logic. It's also clear you have not experimented with any of this but you're going to leave your opinion anyway, and that's fine. I made my point, I'm moving on.

Genuinely curious, how many of us find the term "grocery getter" offensive when used to describe our 5th gen rams. If you haven't heard the phrase, it's used to describe a truck that does only light passenger duty chores; driving back and forth to work, pick up kids from school, getting...

Need implies "binary". You either need something, or you don't. You need something like water to survive, you don't need a TV to survive. Sway bars are enhancements. One can benefit from it, without having to "need" it. We are all different, with different comfort levels, different skills...

It's completely arbitrary. When I see 250+ towing, that's too hot for me. It doesn't matter if you feel the truck is fine at 225 when I'm concerned about it being at 250. You're focusing on 225 and suggesting AGS is not needed, I'm focusing on 250 and saying "that's too hot for me". And I'm...

You're welcome to your opinion, but as somebody who has done the hellwig sway bar upgrade I'm going to tell you you're wrong. It makes a difference unloaded, and it makes a difference loaded. I haven't done a trailer swaybar, but my WDH does have anti sway built in (Anderson no sway). All of...

You're inserting an arbitrary value like 225 and suggesting that AGS delete is unessecsary. That's false logic, you don't know why people are removing AGS, I implied my reasons (towing and excessive heat). If your truck doesn't see those temps, because you just daily drive it or keep it in the...

"Need" is the wrong word. You don't need a half ton for that trailer, a mid size would pull it. Equipment can be used to enhance towing experience, nothing wrong with looking for a more stable tow.

Lugging is hard on any engine, turbos or NA makes no difference. High load at low rpms are bearing killers. This is why I tow above 2000 RPMs on the freeway even though my truck would often upshift another gear if I let it. But if the hurricane can't handle 1600 rpms at 55 mph and feathering...

Yes, and if you keep your truck parked in a cool garage then you don't need to worry about this. That wasn't the argument.

The hemi with 3.21 is basically around 1200 RPMs at that speed. You'll never get that low with the 3.92 but it should definitely not be hanging onto 2000 rpms when you have another gear left. Talk to the dealer? Sounds like a poor tune to me.

A lot of us are running the hellwig sway bar (on the truck itself), I put mine on the stiffest setting.

You do you. My truck works, and would hit 250+ towing. That is not healthy. If you use yours as a grocery getter then you probably don't need to worry about this.

They want the engine to run hot for emissions and MPG reasons, which I don't care about in the slightest. They need to run cooler, hot engines = wear. Combine the AGS with a 180 tstat and now we're finally getting sane temps again. Edit: the shutters warm up the engine quicker, so if you're in...

Perhaps, perhaps not. It's just like the bias they have when they hop in something "new" and suddenly the "old" must by definition be "no good".

EB and GM 2.7 yes, not the hurricane. It's not my opinion, I'm quoting literally every review which says there is turbo lag.

Every review I've watched of the turbos (GM, Ford, and Ram), goes something like this: "almost no turbo lag!". Ok. You know what has absolutely zero turbo lag? A v8. Even a supercharger hits harder initially. A lot of opinion on these engines are biased. It's shiny, new, fast. I get it. I love...

Guys, don't bite, it's all the signs of a troll. I'm last in line for a tiny turbo, but the one thing they do do is scoot (for a few years anyway), that's not the issue with them. The v8 will have a more visceral punch from a dead stop but once the turbos spool they'll put down more power, no...
