    Input on AT tires

    I’m running a 295/75r18 so that pretty much puts me in the E range/ LT tire class. Which is why weight was pretty important. I chose the Bridgestone Dueler Revo3 because it was about the lightest option in that size AND had great all around reviews. The runner up was the Firestone Destination...

    Input on AT tires

    AT is definitely one of the more crowded categories of tire. Helps to start with what you prioritize - weight, appearance, size options, brand, snow performance, highway performance, etc. Figure out what's important to you, shortlist a few options using Tirerack.com scores and reviews. Lots...

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    This place is great with tons of advice. But sometimes (ok often) it layers in the unsolicited kind. You know your situation best, internet strangers are always full of it! I’m beyond frustrated with this engine for you and all the owners and I don’t even own the engine! The promise of a...

    2025 ram 1500 engine broke at 400miles

    Glad to see it’s at least a Tradesman and not some $75k limited. Still a new vehicle puts one immediately upside down. Combine that the fact that if you’re in dire straights from a situation like his then actually no, you can’t afford it. Sorry man. I’m 100% sure you raised these kids Right...

    She's not qualified

    I have many close friends who subscribe to a more liberal mindset. Including my actual best friend of 35 years. As someone with a more conservative mindset, that doesn’t bother me in the least but it drives them crazy. They all have something in common: I try to do the mental exercises and...

    She's not qualified

    I don’t understand how someone could wonder about this. We’ve all literally lived through both candidates’ administrations. Turns out bad orange man didn’t destroy the country. The other administration tried their best to, but we’re holding on. This should be the simplest, most easy to...

    She's not qualified

    For me it’s 2 things: 1). Foreign policy: International relations are a tinderbox at the moment and a top priority for me with friends and family serving along with the future of my children to think about. Neither candidate can guarantee world peace but we actually have demonstrable and...

    Towing with Cali vs rebel shocks

    Your damping from the shocks should be fine but you may need more weight carrying capability. I’d suggest revising your options to: 1) Calling your original Carli vendor, or CJC Off-road, and inquiring about higher rates rear coil springs. (Did your current setup reuse the stock rear springs?)...

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    Me too! And don’t forget to smell the dipstick too. Tells you a lot, and ironically would be useful for monitoring fuel dilution in a DI vehicle. I enjoy the looks I get sometimes at the gas station when doing so.

    2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

    Part of emissions to heat up the cats more quickly. Of all the Hurricane “topics” the high idle wouldn’t cause me a second of worry.

    3.0 HO engine noise/sound

    Is it fast clicking? Could be the high pressure fuel pump and would be normal. Otherwise I’d suspect an exhaust leak. Probably at the turbo.

    Towing With The Hurricane

    10-12 mpg towing a parachute with a gas motor, whether it’s an I4 or a V8. Physics says it takes a specific amount of energy to pull that sail at a given rate, and it’s not WOT. The energy comes from the gasoline, the engine just converts it.

    2021 Ram Rebel Suspension change. Issues as a result.

    If you ever plan to run “35s” the typically run 12.5” wide, or ~1 3/4” wider than stock. You’d need to account for at least half of that, and @h20man’s recommendation of -12 would move you out just over a much from where your +18 wheel is today, so would be a good recommendation. If you won’t...

    2021 Ram Rebel Suspension change. Issues as a result.

    Does look a little close from the pics. I like to have a finger width space between tire and UCA. That said the top of tire doesn’t really change geometry or position much. Unless your ball joints are shot, or your tire develops a bulge. You could just run it a while and keep an eye out for...

    2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

    Also there is a minuscule fraction of Hurricanes in the wild as compared to the DT Hemi, and certainly a fraction of the amount of time it’s spent in the wild. And yet, I wonder how many longer-term forum members think there are a higher number of complaints on the Hurricane than the Hemi has...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    In all seriousness, I did miss that you were new the forum, and it's annoying when smartasses like me don't just give you the desired answer. So typically you'd wait until the pump to hand calc as the dash reading is highly variable, as you probably know. So assuming the mileage dropped...
