Really? I guess it got lost in one of the 113 pages. :D

Somebody needs to start making axles for the front with 4.56 gears. Can't believe no aftermarket companies have tackled this yet.

It would be interesting to hear an unbiased and honest review from somebody who has had the HEMI engine with 3.21 and 3.92 gears both. How do they really feel while towing? The same? One is noticeably better? One sees much better MPG? Or are they really the same?

The mules running around look like the Honda Ridgeline so that's a big NOPE for me. IF I buy another midsize truck it would be the new Colorado Trail Boss or ZR2 or perhaps the new Ranger Raptor. I like that the Trial Boss doesn't lose any towing rating despite it's off-road goodies.

The outlet and inverter was also deleted from my truck. Ticked me off. So I started looking at adding it. The cost of parts and labor involved to do it correctly is insane. So what I did is I bought a 1,500 watt inverter with dual outlets from Harbor Freight, mounted it under the rear seat...

1) You listed the H.O. version of the engine. We don't know that Ram 1500 will get that version (likely not). 2) 510 horsepower is useless if the truck is on a rack at the dealership.

The reason these trucks feel so out of sorts is because they use a coil spring rear. So not only is the axle cycling vertically, but it's also cycling horizontally because they have to rely on a track bar to locate the axle. They can feel quite squirrely at times compared to a tried and true...

Apples to oranges. Going from carbs to FI had no drawbacks. Going from port to direct injection does. Adding two expensive turbos to achieve the same power as a N/A V8 does. Adding additional emissions hardware does. Taking away simple things like dipsticks so that owners can't accurately...

Very odd that you can't get the 5'7" box with the Hemi. That's NEVER been the case before that I can remember. Makes me wonder if 2024 may be a mid-cycle update year? Could be some pretty significant changes coming very shortly. I would hold off and NOT order now. 2022 was, unknown to us at...

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.
