Somewhere I'm sure you can get filter analysis done. That could be an option if you were really curious to backup what tech told you, not sure what it would cost though. With the strict emissions standards, it really wouldn't surprise me if it's from EGR. But I also contribute it to the smaller...

The goal was just a little bit darker and better heat rejection. It was 50% on top of the factory tint.

I did 35% front, 50% rear and 80% on the windshield of my 1500, it makes a huge difference. Planning on doing exactly the same, might go to 35% in the rear, on my 2500. I wouldn't go any darker in the front because it starts to get hard to see at night, especially when trying to back the TT up.

There's only so much room inside that tiny housing for debris and media, the finer filtration means that the filter will catch more debris than other filters. If you want to stick to an AMSOIL filter, then run the EAO11. It's the filter that's spec'd for older 5.7's with the biggest difference...

Yes, someone could tailor an oil mixture to pass those tests with ease. Now put that same exact mixture in an engine on a dyno and see what happens compared to other oils... There's merit to the tests but the results should be taken with a grain of salt. I agree that, within reason, any oil...

Don't forget that it would be extremely expensive! The Project Farm tests are valid in a way...in the specific way he tests them. Now whether they accurately translate to the conditions inside an engine, that's a different story. I've heard of bearing tests where a group 2 or 3 oil will...

ah. Got the number mixed up...was typing while my boss was talking his way through our morning meeting! I agree, I wish I had done more but didn't always have time to grab it when I was doing changes and what not. The copper does seem to be a little high to me, but I'm sure MDS is hell on...

I recently traded in my 1500, but before I did that I took an oil sample. I was using AMSOIL OE 5W-20 with a WIX filter. In this case, I believe the truck was around 2% on the OLM when the sample was taken with 7139 miles on the oil. I would say my daily drive is probably considered severe...

Probably going to get better info at hdrams.com

You'll notice a big difference in the winter in snow. I seriously miss it in my 2500, have to put it into 4x4 when I didn't have to with my 1500. Sadly there's nothing aftermarket out for the new 2500s yet.

There's something that happens in the gear selector when you press the brake, probably a solenoid stopping the knob from turning out of park. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

Yeah...got pulled away from my computer before I could post it. I was theorizing that it's occuring with the first, maybe second too, AMSOIL filter used. And it's the junk left over inside the engine from other oil or what other filters haven't collected. Though I'm going to guess that maybe...

Look at the number of Honda Ridgelines out on the road...it's a truck for people who occasionally need to do "truck" stuff but don't need the ability to tow a trailer, boat etc. I have long been waiting for the Dakota to make a return, but more fuel efficient because that's where the...

Was this your first time running the AMSOIL filter? Just change the filter and you'll be fine. The small filter housing doesn't allow for the extra filter media that the filter needs to be there when the filtration efficiency is increased. So you end up with decreased debris capacity.

It doesn't work for my 2500 either, but it was lease/fleet purpose built. Usually it works though.

Get the VIN, then head HERE. Click "Lookup my vehicle" and paste the VIN and hit "Find." It will give you the max towing and actual payload for the truck you're looking at.

If you plan on getting a bigger trailer at some point, then a 2500 might be a good choice. It will also allow you to take more extra stuff with you. But anyways... I had the 6'4" bed on my 1500(was a need for me) and liked it because I could lay our bikes in there and still close the tonneau...

The OEM (FCA/Stellantis) claims it's lifetime, if you look up ZF service information it's 50-75k miles. It's not terribly hard, especially with our trucks having the temp gauge available right on the dash. The hardest part is probably making sure the truck is level. I used AMSOIL in a BMW I had...

It's hard to know, for sure, what the limiting factor is because the manufacturer holds that information and will never let it go. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

Theoretically, no. But technically, yes. If they weigh the truck it's the entire truck, not just the weight on the suspension mounting points. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
