    How to Add high idle

    GM had similar issues, it was traced back to improper camshaft hardening. I suspect the HEMI is a similar issue.

    How to Add high idle

    1st probelm is believeing the youtube BS about idling and oil pressure. My 2020 limited has 97K miles on it and not a peep. Change the oil every 6000 miles and leave it alone. My previous hemi had 277K miles and no lifter noises, again, regular oil changes

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I get it, In the 5 years Ive had the limted, Ive never had that issue. Usually my getting dirty is doing stuff around the house. The only other place I'd get dirty is at the track but I usually take an extra shirt and towels when I do go incase I break something and have to do some work. My Z28...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    My 20 Limited has ceramic on the windshield, pano, side and rear windows, it does help quite a bit. My old truck has indigo frost interior, never had a problem with it getting dirty but I never put a suitcase in the back seat either

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I would have liked to get the pre production tungsten that was blacked out but they didn't offer that, don't know why because Id have bought it them swapped the black wheels (hate black wheels). I love the interior color, have indigo/frost in my 20 limited. The silver laramie in the pics is a...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I haven't even turned it up yet, trying to familiarize myself with this digital dash and UC 5. The seats and the interior are far and away better than my 20 Limited and is was super nice.

    The new ride delivered and as nice as the Limited is, the Tungsten is on another level Doing paint correction and a polish this weekend then off to get PPF on the front and window tint. Body color mirror caps, FitcamX, and bedrug are on the way

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    IDK about 18%, Mark Dodge is offering 12K off which is about 13% on a 90K ram. I used that to leverage the same discount on a 25 Tungsten (I wanted the Sea Salt interior). $89,9K msrp. Got it for $78 +TTL, right at 13% off. 18% off a 90k tungsten is about 16K off. I haven't seen anyone offering...

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    And that's the cast internals SO, not even the HO and 850 whp is about 1000 fwhp.......but it's pushed too hard at 420/540 Lol 😂 Funny, the naysayers in the comments section same the sound as those here...

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Turbos have been around for a while now, the donkey Jesus rode into Jerusalem had a 60/65 turbo. The GW probably never changed the oil, that's the only weakness with turbos but that's also the weakness of engines. I'm working a deal on a tungsten now since my 20 was in an accident. I'll miss...

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    I have to agree. I've had this SST SO Ram for about a week and I must say that I am much impressed with the way it drives and has part throttle power everywhere, the HEMI has nothing on this engine even in SO trim. The one negative I've noticed is some erratic shifting out of 1st gear but this...

    2020 RAM1500 rear differential drive shaft issues

    It is serviceable, its a slip joint so it wouldn't have a grease fitting on it. There is a TSB on the driveshaft for the TRX but it addresses the very same issue https://www.tsbsearch.com/RAM/03-004-22-REV-B

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Motors convert electric energy into mechanical energy, engines convert fuel into mechanical energy using combustion. But..., that thin walled "motor" Soo, that "thin walled" block isn't really an issue and wears better than an iron block/liner

    Anyone running E30 in their Hurricane H/O?

    If the vehicle isn't tuned for it you'll have more issues than fuel system compatibility. The fuel system will be the least of your concerns may be a better way of wording it. All ethanol fuels have a lower output than 87/89/93 fuels, you need more of it to maintain a safe AFR.

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Then you don't understand how engines are engineered and built; this isn't a 1970 slant six that they slapped a turbo on. This is a reinforced block with forged internals and sophisticated engine management to keep the pistons happy, not a blow through jetted up carb engine.

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    I don't understand this logic at all. Some of you act as though they slapped a turbo on an N/A engine and called it good. 500+HP turbo 4&6 cylinders have been mainstream for more than 20+ years now. An NA engine trying to make 500 hp will have more stress on it than am engine designed for boost...

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Your comment seems like it suggests a engine that makes a lot of power will have shorter longevity. My comment was if the engine is built correctly, it'll last as long as a less powerful engine

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    An update to the comparison between the two trucks, I retract my previous statement about the hemi and the hurricane being similar until 5 or 7 miles an hour, the the standard output trim hurricane throws you back into the seat. This engine is night and day hands down superior to the hemi in...
