    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    Honestly, everywhere I go is a lack of color options Every single auto manufacturer its the same thing, white, black, and all the grays in-between. This isn't just a US thing, across the other side of the World I see the same thing at dealerships, just whites, seas of grays and black. I don't...

    Oops, I just wrote V6 out of habits.

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    There was a point in 2024 that I think etorque Hemi was your only option, phased out the V8 only. Interesting choice, V8 e-Torque or I6TT. I'm happy with the fact the Hemi will be available again on the Rebel trims (late availability), worried they were only going to make available on the most...

    What are you towing?

    My buddy just picked up a new to him 20ft center console with only 120 hours on the motor. His Tacoma didn't have a brake controller and there are a lot of hills in San Diego, so I helped him with towing duties. Did a quick bay trial to make sure everything worked, only about 4,500 lbs wet...

    Hurricane Fuel Octane

    I remember running into that when I travelled to Oregon and started to grab for a pump handle, lol.

    Hurricane Fuel Octane

    Nice! In CA, it's 87 or 91 only. I will on occasion do 91, then wait half a tank and fill up again with 87 to create 89. I wouldn't dare do it at a single go, the people in line would probably try to purge me. They already freak out if you have to swipe your card twice because the reader...

    Hurricane Fuel Octane

    That's why I use Costco Premium, it's 91 Top Tier but cheaper than most other stations 87.

    Gear oil choices for 3.92 LSD

    I stupidily forgot to turn off my E-Locker today after pulling a boat up from a ramp. I had my buddies 5,000 lbs boat/trailer when I made two hard turns, I noticed the rear tire chirping both times before I realized I left the locker on. I guess it's a good sign the tires lost traction...

    Radiator Fan not turning on

    It's pretty normal on these vehicles, and honestly most people don't know their actual temps due to the "dummy" style analog gauge that really doesn't show actual increments. I will tell you my old BMW E90, back in 2007, was setup from the factory to go up to 233F in Eco mode, which you had no...

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    It's one of it's jobs of course, but too many people see you do one thing and imagine that's all you do with it.

    Rear window leak

    That's a good dealership there, wish any of the 7 CDJR dealerships in my area were that good. I'll be honest, when my 2019 finally develops the crack, even if my dealer would cover a replacement free of charge (they won't), I rather just go with the flowable urethane route myself. It's...

    TPMS and aftermarket Rims

    The factory TPMS sensors will reset on their own, typically after 10-15 minutes of driving, but it can take longer. As for your PSI, the door sticker will show what the OEM was, but that' also where the warning system set for. Which can vary wildly depending on what trim you have, most are in...

    35's changed my shift pattern?

    Makes me wonder of all the dealership installed lift kits and 35" tires if they go through the effort to actually reprogram the tire size/speedo and tire pressures? How many of their customers who overpaid for often 3rd party installed kits are running the way they should? If not, many of...

    2020 Ram - wireless carplay options?

    That goes for just about any USB I've seen on a car, just lightly touch it and it looses connection. I would just use a Carplay dongle, so many on Amazon, they all generally work great, then double side tape it so it's secure. I would also get a USB on/off switch, since the power/data port...

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

    I think that's a bias thing journalist tend to say when they review turbo engines.

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

    In terms of auto publication review, both can be true, at the time maybe the Hemi was everything they said it was, now it's not compared to a new engine. Twin turbo Ecoboost, I felt zero lag, and the 1:1 thottle ratio on the Hemi feels absolutely laggy compared to my Hemi, I owned both at the...

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

    Could also be a bot, forums are crawling with them these days. Honestly I think my F150 2.7L EcoBoost had more initial punch than my Hemi right off the bat, essentially no turbo lag, however it could also be the throttle calibration is not 1:1.

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

    Are you sure you didn't test 3.6L V6s? I am a V8 only guy myself, but even I can admit the Hurricane has more performance in every metric you can think of. In every single published review, test, personal test drives (including myself), I have yet to find anyone with your opinion that the 5.7L...

    Need opinions

    Bronze And this is coming from someone who prefers black/or gun metal wheels almost 99% of the time. But white, grey and even red vehicles look awesome with bronze wheels.
