I tow frequently but at a max of about 4500 lbs so I wanted the highway benefit of 3.21s. Typically I’d have ordered 3.92s but the DT 5.7 trucks have revised 1-2 gear ratios for better low speed acceleration so I went with the 3.21 and love it. If it’s not super windy in the flats pending...

If it was just an algorithm based on rpm/oil temp I’d have to imagine it would be showing very similar if not the same pressures for everyone here. The trucks can sense viscosity (throwing that code for running incorrect oil). So maybe that plays into it if it’s just an estimate based on...

So you’re saying people just buy the rebel for the looks ? Ha. Mines an auto case (non rebel) it works out great for my use. I know they dropped the auto case from the lower level big horn models 2024 (believe you have to get level 2?). Maybe the 2025 low BH comes with the non auto case which...

Mine normal warm is 25-30 ish. Hot hot like after trailer towing in stop and go or towing highway high speed (oil temp 230-240) is 20-23 psi range. Mopar filter and Platinum 5-20. Cruising at the same temps at highway speed 47-49 psi. Just about to tick over 70k miles and pressures have been the...

I’d love to have another some day. Unfortunately everyone wants one now and they are going up in value. Honestly, since I’ve had one and I probably can’t afford the Viper I want I might look for a first gen SRT10 regular cab. Itch my scratch for a fast red Ram and a Viper. I was raised on...

I had a 99 R/T Dakota in high school. Regular cab red and a little rough around the edges but I miss it every day. 250 HP sounds meh these days but it ran 14.60s and did truck stuff and handled well. Only area very lacking was brakes. It had a shaker hood which weighs more and has a more...

I’m inching up on 70k on my 2021. Outside of a sun visor mount breaking (I’m easy on those so) it’s been uneventful. Changed all driveline fluids at 50k. Starting to buy all the goodies to do a PPE pan/trans service. Tires made it to about 55k but I had a non fixable puncture so I put the new...

Interesting. Today I watched TFL do a low speed hot steep test “the toaster” on the new ram 3.0 SO. Oil temp was like 235 (pretty normal for my hemi to see that towing in the mountains or hard acceleration towing). When they stopped after the pull it had 20 psi oil pressure and triggered a low...

Mine is typically 25-30 at idle and if it’s hot like city stop and go towing or highway towing 228-235 it’ll idle around 20-22 psi. Always maintains 47-49 in high gear at highway speeds at normal to hot oil temp. Not worried here. We run marine engines hard with thick oil and they will get down...

Interesting. Mine is the 3.21 so the GVWR is on the lower end iirc.

Interesting I’m the same in 4x4 as a 2wd. Here’s my sticker photo.

Not sure but someone else above has the exact same payload to the number. I think it’s likely the highest payload you could get in a quad cab outside of a tradesman but I’m not sure even going to that would gain any since mine is essentially a tradesman with extra aesthetics. Maybe the...

I’m at 1,878 LBS on the door sticker. 21 base bighorn quad cab 4x4 non E torque 5.7. The only options it has outside of the bighorn package are remote start and factory floor liners.

Thanks for the note. These when checked were well liberated and tight. I’ve got a set of Z36 pads and hardware to install and I think that’s going to whip it since the clip replacement all bit fixed it.

It probably has a variable displacement/pressure pump. (Hemis do not). I bet if you rev it over 3k rpms or so pressure will jump up significantly. My brother has a 3.6 Durango and I’ve towed with it and it does the same thing. Hovers around 30 psi until you rev it a bit. The GM 6.2/5.3s act the...

Will try and condense this down as much as possible. For a while I’ve been chasing a front end noise that sounds like sway bar links. The usual suspects for the DT didn’t fix it (new sway bar links and new CV shafts under PT warranty). Noise was getting worse and I’m not sure how I missed this...

I did my first change at 2500. Then ran the synthetic to 7500 and had it analyzed to test for remaining tbn. TBN looked good but lots of break in wear. I’ve adhered to the 7500 OCI since and have great oil analysis reports. All below universal averages for wear and I tow a lot. I’d road trip...

Fumoto valve and an oil udder XL = essentially 0 spillage outside of maybe a small drip or two. I do my changes hot and the first one sent oil everywhere when it hit the sway bar even with a large catch pan below. I have some leftover 5 gallon cubes I put my waste oil in and with the fumoto...

I did run 65 during the break in period because I had to get onto interstates for my route but I took it easy the first 60. The rest of the trip was 2 lane roads and I used WOT liberally once in 3rd gear to avoid axle damage but promote ring seat. Currently at 62,500 and it uses 0 detectable...

In the winter or flat lands I tow on 87. If it’s hot or I’m working it hard in the mountains it’ll get 89. All non towing = 87. 87 is presumably fine by the book but I can hear it detonate on mid throttle acceleration while towing so I bump it up.
