    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    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.

    RPM

    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.

    Do I need a sway bar?

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

    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    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.

    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    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...

    If the 5.7 Hemi goes away in 2024, I'm out of the RAM

    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".

    If the 5.7 Hemi goes away in 2024, I'm out of the RAM

    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.

    If the 5.7 Hemi goes away in 2024, I'm out of the RAM

    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...

    If the 5.7 Hemi goes away in 2024, I'm out of the RAM

    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...

    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    The safest way is just to leave the two rows attached and don't touch the motor. Disconnecting the motor is completely unnecessary.

    Active Grill Shutter Removal

    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...

    Thinking of tire downsizing 22" to 18"

    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...

    5w20 vs 5w30

    Earlier hemis apparently did, but the 2019+ (and probably earlier) don't. I've run Mobil 1 0w-40 in my truck and no codes were set.

    Best Oil for Hemi "Tick"

    No, I'm ignoring you because you're not arguing the facts you're trying to make things personal.

    Again, not reading the rest of your post. Argue the facts.

    Best Oil for Hemi "Tick"

    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...

    That's what folks say when posts get personal and you just say whatever pops into your head.

    Hot hemi

    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...

    I stopped reading your BS right there. Not going to read the read the rest of what you wrote.

    Best Oil for Hemi "Tick"

    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...
