No. This is what guys who don't understand math like to think, but it is wrong. This isn't marriage where there are feelings and attractions and character flaws. Example. You have Bob with 2 bottles of 500ml of water, and you have Fred with 1 bottle of 2l of water. You don't need to drink all...

The math is the only thing that doesn't lie, or get confused, or have a poor memory etc. The math says the 3.21 is a better truck in every way, so it is.

There is nothing to test, it's a math formula. The v8 tundra with the 6 speed has a first gear ratio of only 3.333 whereas the new Rams have a first gear ratio of 5. Ram: 5 * 3.21 = 16.05 Tundra: 3.333 * 4.30 = 14.3319 Clearly the Ram digs harder from a stop. There is literally nothing about...

Indeed, thanks for the laughs; because the 3.21 has a shorter first gear with the ZF than the Tundra with a 4.30, and it has 2 more gears on top of it all. The factual points are, the 3.21 destroys the tundra on 3 key points: 1) shorter first gear (better for off the line pulling) 2) taller...

Be aware that guys have damaged their frames using suspension helpers. I know that most get away with it no problem, but some have had issues. All I'd recommend is to use a proper WDH. Sag under load is perfectly fine and should be expected, the truck is designed to work this way, as long as...

I tried with the yellow funny looking thing there right behind it, and it said this: "well obviously this is not a hurricane engine". Odd.

If you have a samsung phone: open the image on your phone, tap and hold on the bottom of the phone to popup the google search, draw with your finger around the part, google AI searches and responds with this: "The component shown is likely a vacuum pump for a power brake booster".

While I might not agree 100%, I think you nailed it pretty well. Guys who lease/trade trucks in every few years, guys who think fast is more important than reliability/cost, they're going to favour the hurricane. Just saw a video the other day where a chrysler tech talks about the hurricane...

The 5w-20 is more shear stable. It will use less VII's, or in some cases, none at all. Which means at high temps it is more resistant to shearing down.

This point I don't agree with 100%. Idling is a waste of gas and is needless wear on the engine, but the "not enough oil pressure to lubricate engine" is incorrect. It has > 20 psi and that is way more than enough. There are guys pushing close to 2000 or more idle hours and have zero issues...

0w-20 and 5w-20 are for fuel efficiency. It doesn't help in our trucks that we individually would notice, but even a fraction of a percent helps them when it comes to adding it up for their corporate/CAFE mpg. I would suggest to ignore the manual for oil change interval as well. 5000 to 7000...

HT/HS is the important number, this value is insufficient for 20 grades in a hot hemi. When this happens, the oil is no longer able to provide the film/separation between the components in the engine and the engine relies on the anti wear additives of the oil. The 30 grade recommendation is not...

UOA's just show wear numbers. The science of tribology says higher viscosity oil = higher HT/HS which is what separates the mechanical parts from eachother, reducing wear. You haven't compared wear in your engine vs 30 grade? I've seen great reports/trends on UOA's right until they started...

My coolant temps don't ever exceed 195F unless I'm towing in the summer. During winter months, I hover at 185 for weeks on end, city, highway, stop and go, doesn't matter. Perhaps sitting still at a drive through for 5+ minutes would do it? Haven't paid that much attention to it recently to be...

What is "definite proof"? The science of tribology says that 30w always offers more protection than 20w in the same formula. So we do know that a 30w is better, and if you have tracked UOA's over many oil changes with different grades (like I have), then I can see that the 2 runs with the...

Lifter failure has nothing to do with MDS. Even hemis without MDS from the factory (like the manual challengers) have lifter failures. As for fluid intervals, 5000 miles is a great interval to aim for. Run 5w-30 or 0w-30 if you're in really cold climate. The owners manual should be placed in...

That's the thing, I don't want to watch if there is nothing substantiated lol. Most of these guys deal with rumours and fluffy nonsense to build views and I'd rather not waste my time.

Is that just more click bait or are there some new facts in there?

I bought one of those wireless android auto thingy's to make life a little nicer. Works great and as intended, but now everytime I walk past my truck my cell phone tries to connect so that tells me the device in the truck is still powered up hours later. I have it plugged into the USB port by...

I have these and they are really great. They fit very well, nice and comfortable, quite thick, and heated seats still works well but I don't have cooled seats so can't comment on that. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YD1WS4W
