    Pedal Commander for 2025 RAM 1500 3.0 Hurricane S/O

    I used a Banks on my 2016 6.7 Cummins. It worked great. Banks points out the potential major problems with the Pedal Commander. Having used several Banks products over the years I trust what he says and like his products.

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    I watch a fair amount of YouTube automotive news and as @lonepeak stated above they all have problems; Toyota especially. I'm about to turn 4,000 miles on my 2025 Rebel and aside from the light throttle surging, she runs great. As far as the cold high idle, which seems excessive, it's consistent...

    Current MPG on 2025 i6 3.0 s/o models???

    Not too bad. What gear ratio? What trim? My Rebel gets 16-18 highway at 75 MPH on regular 87 octane fuel.

    Aside from the CEL is it running ok?

    Current MPG on 2025 i6 3.0 s/o models???

    So my worst MPG calculated by hand is 16.9 mostly highway at 75 MPH with four people and two dogs and our stuff. Some wind. Best is 17.9 at similar speeds. I suspect in summer weather with low wind I'll get 18-19 mpg. Again, not terrible considering I'm only paying for regular and moving 5400lbs...

    hello

    I've got a different electrical thing that happens where it seems like the pedal position switch is being engaged even though the pedals don't move. Does it every time. I'll try to remember to take a video of the sound and post it here.

    2025 Ram 1500 Hurricane SO towing test

    You can watch the TFL video where the oil pressure went to 19 PSI an then was stable in the low 20s which is completely normal for this SO engine. The oil temps were completely normal too and frankly the TFL guys should have caught that. Had they really been concerned about an oil PSI issue then...

    2025 Ram 1500 Hurricane SO towing test

    So my 2012 Audi S4 oil temps run at 230-235F at highway speeds. My assumption is that the water temp, which I can't monitor, is darn close to that. It's a 3.0L Supercharged 90 Deg. V-6. Obviously, not moving nearly the same weight but I've done oil sampling over the years and they've been...

    2025 Ram 1500 Hurricane SO towing test

    At the end of the TFL Truck run it was 235F. Not crazy hot. Water was 234F. Trans Temp was 225F.

    2025 Ram 1500 Hurricane SO towing test

    Yesterday I towed my boat and trailer, about 6000 lbs and I locked out gears 7-8. At 55 MPH in 6th gear it towed great. Seemed like it had plenty of power running just over 2200 RPMs I think.

    That's not an acceptable option. Stick to your guns. Sorry you guys are having to deal with this.

    Question about 2 open ports on the Standard Output Throttle Body

    Mine looks exactly like yours. They don't appear to have any function.

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    The engine does not like light throttle. Has a surging problem under constant light throttle like the tuning isn't refined. There are no CELs, though for mine. Almost 1800 miles; mostly highway. Also, at idle, which is about 650 RPM, I've got a whistling noise that originates from the passenger...

    fuel economy

    We just completed a 500 mile trip at 75 MPH, 4 people, two dogs, plus gear. So figure about 600lbs of people and gear. 17.59 MPG calculated by hand. By myself going 80 MPH on the reverse route of this same trip I got 18.3. 420 HP engine pushing a 5400lb vehicle...that seems about right. Also I...

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    Mine is a August build. I suppose it is very noticeable now that I think about it.

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    I have noticed the light throttle surging a bit after ya'll mentioned it. I paid attention to it more. I don't think it does it every time and mine seems to be very slight although not super noticeable. I am willing to bet that we are all just more in tune with what our vehicles are doing and...

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    You know I just got my truck back from PPF and ceramic coating and I too just noticed a whistling sound which sounds like it's coming from the passenger side. I assume it's some sort of vacuum leak from the turbos' plumbing somewhere. Who knows. Until it throws a light there's no way to tell.

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    What conditions is this occurring? Light throttle around town or during hard acceleration like getting onto the highway?

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    Y'all have me curious now. I'm going to start my next road trip on 87. I'll document if I notice any misses or knocking. If I do, I will run 89 and do the same thing, and I'll bump to 93 to see if that makes it "a happy camper".

    Exhaust Options for Hurricane 3.0 SST

    Well, it's as good as an I-6 is going to sound. Personally, I own 3x V-8 cars. One Hellcat and two classics. I could care less that this thing doesn't have a 5.7 Hemi (which really isn't a Hemi).
