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.
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...
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...
Well you shouldn't mess with the motor. Just keep the top and bottom rows of shutters and delete the others, that's all you have to do. The two rows are there to keep stability to that system (so that it doesn't physically collapse), and the motor being attached thinks its still doing whatever...
I noticed a large improvement going from 20 inch michelin defender back to stock 18 inch goodyear wrangler. Maybe it is part tire compound, maybe part wheel size, but it was almost night and day. Of course the good years are as streetable as streetable can get, nothing aggressive or even close...
They've had their share of issues no doubt. But they get some winners too, there are a few "million mile" tundra's out there now and those v8s are quite a nice step up above the hemi when it comes to reliability and engine life.
They also use stronger rear axles in their Tundra's.
Most of...
The analog needle is kinda useless, it's more of a dummy gauge. You should be able to adjust your dash to get a digital readout of your water/oil/transmission temps which rise and fall with every degree change. The dummy gauge more or less sits there and doesn't update unless it's really cold or...
VRP cleans very well, that is not up for debate, the pictures prove that. But I suspect it's a one trick pony. HPL has the cleaning aspect covered (it cleans so well they have a dedicated "cleaner" product which cleans slower than their actual oil because their oil can clean too much too fast...
