Yay, this conversation again! A modern engine- and especially a turbocharged direct injection one - has such a wide range of operating parameters that power output widely varies based on a multitude of things, including fuel quality/octane, intake air temperature, engine and transmission...

Spotify premium gives you 320kbps / CD quality sound and is not too expensive. You can spend more for lossless or other better steaming services, but hardly anyone will have a system in their vehicle where the benefits can be detected; certainly not a stock system. IMHO of course.

The stainless works setup (both of them) really sound good in their sound clips. Definitely the way I’d go if I had one. And they make quality stuff.

Nice. Welp that’s about all you can do with stock tires, so maybe LTs would help.

Did you air them up to near the max shown on the sidewalk, or ~45 psi?

Wait, you’re putting an LSD in the front?! Sweet dude!! [emoji108]

There’s ride comfort / bump absorption and then there is handling / responsiveness. I drove a Laramie (coil) and a Limited (a/s) both on 22s (as well as other Laramies on 20s) and found the Limited to have a noticeably better performance overall. It had a slight but observable advantage in...

Sweet! If they offer the 6.4 in a Laramie or Limited I will order one immediately! I won’t wait around again for them to screw it up and pull the option.

3 times I don't give a rats about MPG: Towing, Winter and first 5k miles. Winter fuel + lots of idling / remote start renders MPG irrelevant.

Had it been sitting for a few days prior to the start where you noticed this? Also, was the smoke definitely blue or white, or was it possibly blackish? Each color likely a different thing. Was it all the colors?? Lol. The white I wouldnt worry about if you are not loosing coolant. Also...

And the springs are larger diameter since they wrap around d a 2.5” shock (nominal size anyway, Bilstien is odd with their exact sizing). Higher perch with smaller diameter springs, like oem or 5100s, could work maybe?

All I know is the “lifetime” LED bulbs I get for my house seem to burn out more frequently than the old incandescents. Expensive ones, cheap ones, tried them all. If that same “quality” applies to LED automotive lighting I’d say just give me halogens. But what I’ve owned so far hasn’t gone...

Unless you were talking TRX, then you’re still right [emoji6]

The Germans get seating right, particularly for people over 5'8". Every Japanese vehicle I've owned the seats seem to be made for little people, and sadly domestic "family" vehicles are following suit too often. Adjustable thiegh bolsters and a greater range of front-edge height adjustability...

Even that weight should be manageable with a proper setup. By that I mean using a Weight Distribution hitch and arranging the cargo so that a) absolutely nothing other than strictly mandatory is in the truck (either cab or bed) and b) get tongue weight down around 13%, but not less than 10%...

I hear ya for sure, its just that.... all those TRXs and Raptors I see everywhere around me every day can't all be on their way to the desert all the time... can they? ;) That's why if it should ever come around, I'm so down for a big-power street truck with that application in mind. We've...

It’s silly to go fast in a truck. Even look at the TRX and Raptor R and consider: - neither comes with upgraded brakes - both have tires poorly suited to spirited driving - many cars and EVs are faster still than either for less money to acquire and operate. Still, I’m glad they exist...

The Jeep commercial with Harrison Ford was pretty good, particularly the end. I didn’t put 2 and 2 together until the end that his name was FORD. Good for a laugh. Otherwise that Glen guy from the Ram commercial owes me a bundle for my time and money wasted on Twisters. One of the worst movies...
