Yes. This. Particularly on the GMC and Toyotas. And if you expect to have any rear passengers with legs, it isn’t a great setup back there. And now that all but the Frontier are Crew Cab Short bed configurations, they are all neither fish nor foul. Meaning cabs are too small for people...

On a prior Bilstien setup, I had mounted a set of E range DuraTracs. They rode awfully and I really played around with air pressures since tires were the only thing that changed. Instinctively I aired way down to something like 32 to try to improve ride comfort, even through I knew it was way...

My natural instinct, similar to others, says too cold a transmission is not optimal. But I am not a transmission builder and you are. So I’m inclined to be open to your thoughts here. And since you seem to be a grown up who understands the risks and will fix issues if they arise, I’m keen to...

We have large volume DEF tanks on diesels and sensors to monitor levels, programming to elicit specific behaviors when empty etc. If there were a tangible benefit to emissions they’d find a way to do it. They’ve done far more and gotten less. Heck eTorque provides a far less tangible benefit...

This is also default behavior for the F150, but you can enable “cop mode” via ForScan wherein even if engine is running from a traditional start (not a remote start) you cannot place the transmission into gear without the fob present. Remote start already works that way. I wonder if it is...

Unfortunately this aligns with my hypothesis going in. I’ve long heard the 2.0” Foxes do not have a similar ride signature to the 2.5” Foxes, and instead are rather firm, especially cranked to any material lift height. As for the noise based on description I keep thinking back to some type of...

Sticking with my assumption that it’s the exhaust supply. They will use GT exhaust on all Hemis but since Hemi now is not expected to be volume engine they aren’t going to run multiple iterations thereof, and the GT exhaust only ever came on the crew cab short/ 5’7” bed. They’re angling Hemi as...

Any chance you think the noises would pick up on a video? Not sure what it would be. That’s a bummer to hear.

Ever replaced the spark plugs or cleaned the MAP sensors? I’d start there and see. If you’ve been using top tier fuel there isn’t much more a little bottle of additive can do other than relieve you of a few bucks.

I had suspected this... Tim K/Ram said that the G/T exhaust would come standard on every 5.7 Ram. That exhaust only ever was made for the Crew Cab Short Bed configuration. I doubted they'd engineer a version of the G/T exhaust for the LWB 6'4" bed option, so figured they'd either a) use the...

Oh man, I LOVE Lil Hibbitty Jibitty!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PS: I'd be really interested to ask that one tech how exactly he thought the Ram might know whether it is on dirt vs. pavement? :unsure: That would be some impressive tire technology!

Glad we could zero in on the issue! A bummer a dealer couldn't come up with this. This is the "cheap & easy" way to lift air suspensions - popular on Jeeps and Land Rovers too. It's not a problem in & of itself to leave it as it is - the issue is only as you experienced, that you can't go...

First off, find a new dealer. Holy he!l! Either they are complete morons, or think you are one. Second, sounds like you bought the truck used. The issue you are describing happens when people use aftermarket links to give air suspension trucks a front end level. Basically the links trick the...

Still keep an eye out for V8 Dakota’s. Hard to find any that aren’t beat to hell by owners 4 thru 8. Especially with a clutch pedal. Will be interested in seeing more about this for sure!

My cousin still owns a 95 Silverado his dad bought new, and I’m pretty sure the Bed Rug was installed in the late 90s. It looked great at a family BBQ just a couple months ago. Granted he babies that truck, but it’s held up amazingly in an open bed for more than 20 years. Have to assume they’ve...

One does not regard what the RV salesman says one’s truck may be capable of towing as anything remotely resembling truth, let alone prudent consideration. One calculates their specific truck’s maximum tow capability based on as-traveled configuration, then limits their trailer shopping to...

AWE does awesome for 6 cylinder applications. One of the only tolerable options for the Ford EcoBoost.

Man, I love this guy! They have to deliver of course, but from a marketing standpoint, they just keep hitting them out the park.

Ha! That’s exactly what I use but without ram boxes there is some gaps on the side, but that has never once mattered or been an issue.
