    why would you use TOW/HAUL mode for such a light trailer? 3500 lbs? completely unnecessary . extended shift points and engine braking for such a light tow? its like theres nothing there

    MDS.. on or off?

    My 17 Hemi was definitely noticeably when it went into MDS at low speed, if fact I complained to DEALER about it. They claimed it was because I used 5W20 Synthetic.. So they filled it with 0W20 blend... MADE NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!...so I usually turned it off and refilled with 5W20. however...

    2022 5.7 ETorque Tow/Haul Mode defect

    from CONSUMER REPORTS ... For 2019, the eTorque mild-hybrid system will come standard on all 3.6-liter V6 Ram models, and will be available on 5.7-liter Hemis. Note, however, that Ram will not be using the word “hybrid” in its advertising (more on that a little later). Simpler in many ways...

    2022 5.7 ETorque Tow/Haul Mode defect

    so the 130 ft lbs of torque the 48 v E-torque sustem produces is used to turn 1/2 of one rotation and nothing else in any capacity to assist the truck engine? thats your statement ? just want to be sure, the engineers went thru all trouble and expense including the 48v briefcase battery and...

    Tire's related to towing

    the OEM Goodyear Wranglers on mine were so soft and thin that the limestone in my driveway and on the road to my Camp, penetrated several . causing flats that were not repairable. Really a poor quality tire. Thats when I tried FALKENs .. never had another problem.

    Brake Controller Gain

    is it possible that the issue is in your trailer brakes and not in the controller? worn out or loosely adjusted brake shoes. I have multiple trailers of different weights. adjustment is very easily done on each

    According to RAM, the E-torque is activated for the AUTO-START feature rather than engine starter having to start engine ,then move vehicle. and assists transition into MDS ECO mode [ 4 cylinder] and provides additional torque under load up to 2000rpm where engine torque is low . All this is...

    2022 5.7 ETorque Tow/Haul Mode defect

    its usually earlier models with glitches, not later.. good to hear theres a simple cure for the issue. The E-TORQUE adds extra torque at low speeds with heavy loads . It would suck to not take advantage of the design

My previous GMC Seirra was...

    my Hemi-E Torque is smooth as glass on AUTO-START .. and when transitioning V8 to ECO mode.. unless I really pay attention, I dont even notice it .. There certainly should not be any loud noise

    Quick oil recommendations

    I have used MOBIL ONE EP for decades in all my work trucks.. every single one went 275-300 K mikes of towing trailers ,trouble free and no oil consumption between changes .. In my opinion you just cannot beat it
