You must have an older classic Stingray, because all the modern ones run the same temps as our Hemis And it may be hard for some to comprehend, but technology, tuning, and even engineering concepts have changed a lot since the 60s and 70s.

It's funny you even try to bring that up. Most people swapping to colder thermostats are racers trying to keep engine cooler so they can run higher timing, which is harder on the engine. I'd bet you find more 250k mile modern vehicles on the road that have maintained factory thermostat temp...

For the reason you stated. Margin or error because your average car owner isn't paying attention to the gauges until the idiot lights start flashing in their face. And even then, many don't know what or why the lights are on. If running cooler was so much better why do they set the efan...

Considering the other item was Hemi Charger, Id imagine it's a 6-speed manual Charger

NASCAR engines run at 250+ degrees. I know drag racers that don't run any coolant and can hit over 250 degrees by the end of the pass. Sure, they aren't as worried with long lifespan, but how much does the heat really effect long term durability, as long as the oil is still doing its job

Yes, it is more efficient with hotter combustion chamber. Better fuel burn.

Should be a rubber gasket in the box for the thermostat. If not you will need to get one. Don't reuse the factory one.

Where's the fun if they don't slip or slide. 🤪

And the next one appears to be something about a race model maybe? They already made Nascar announcement so what else would I see race? There is no pro-stock truck in NHRA anymore

Screen shot and enhanced the teaser at the end . Trying to decide if that's a crew cab or not. Has a scoop on the hood. Possibly the street truck many want.

Seems like it was around 18/19 since the 5rh gen Rams aren't having the issues.

The 5th gens don't have many issues with lifters. Dodge/Ram already admitted they were using bad lifters and switched to a lifter with larger needle bearings. Also, idling was not the downfall of the lifters. Want slightly higher idle, turn your A/C on and it will get you about 100rpm

Try again. Hands-on with Stellantis’ new Android-based Uconnect 5 infotainment - Ars Technica Hands-on with Stellantis’ new Android-based Uconnect 5 infotainment

Those are software issues with the new canbus architecture they implemented in 25 model year on the Rams. The engine itself has been mostly good. There have been threads already with 26 model here Hemisnjavjng simikar software issues

Where did I say OEM was only quality option? I was saying that, unless there was a factory available cross drilled rotor for your vehicle, finding a set of aftermarket cross drilled rotors, that were actually designed to be cross drilled will be futile. And by that I'm not talking about big...

People act like the RAM is the first application this engine has been used in. They've been in production, and on the roads since 2022. Im sure if there were big issues with it, you see article after article about how bad they are. Other than the thermostat issues on the initial model year...

Any cross drilled rotor you are buying at a parts store, or from places like RockAuto, for a vehicle that was never offered with cross drilled rotors from the factory are just cheap solid rotors that have holes drilled in then. They are not designed for being cross drilled. Now this obviously...

I would not want the HD RAM version, I'd want the Scat Pack 6.4.

What prevents people from doing their own maintenance or modifying trucks with the Hurricane engines? And the Hemi track record isn't that spectacular.

FWIW, I have one of the 3-ton low profile jacks from Harbor Freight, and some 6-ton, and 3-ton jack stands from Amazon
