    Engine Options

    I believe it does almost everywhere... unfortunately. Only the manual challenger doesn't have it.

    Engine Options

    The 6.4 comes in two variants, the BGE in the 2500 at 410 hp, and the SRT in the cars/jeep/dodge at 485 hp. The SRT would be an instant hit if they can keep the price reasonable (ie, available in tradesman and bighorn trims where you just need to pay for the engine upgrade and not the ridiculous...

    Oil to use???

    My mechanic is excellent. I do my own oil changes because the oil I put in is far better than what the FCA spec calls for.

    Oil to use???

    It's for the entire 8hpxxx lineup yes, chrysler + bmw + landrover etc.

    Oil to use???

    Not sure what you're trying to say but it absolutely is true.

    Oil to use???

    MS-6395 is for the 3.6, 5.7 and SO, OP has the HO and as already mentioned above he would "need" MS-A0921. The MS-xxxx is not a spec that matters in any way though. The owners manual wants you to run "resource conserving" oil, which is a fancy way of saying they don't care about your engine...

    Oil to use???

    Of course. That's how I found HPL and why I absolutely ignore almost everything the owners manual says when it comes to oil and fluids. And that's in contrast to your previous statement where you suggested to just trust the mechanic.

    Oil to use???

    Easy there, it was a bad attempt at some humour. But the point is that mechanics don't necessarily know squat about oil, no matter how much you can rely on them to fix your car. Most of them either read the owners manual and dutifully do as told, or even worse just dump in whatever bulk oil...

    Oil to use???

    I'm not letting the ambulance driver do a kidney swap on me, just saying.

    Oil to use???

    The MS spec is a nothing burger (and it's MS-A0921 for the HO). For warranty purposes you just need API SN+ or API SP. PUP has no ability to clean, and it shears down to a 30 grade. There are far better oils available.

    Oil to use???

    Best oil money can buy IMHO (though... I'd probably go for a 5w-40 but don't if you're concerned about warranty) https://www.advlubrication.com/collections/automotive-lubricants/products/premium-plus-passenger-car-engine-oil?variant=40523898912961

    Not just the 5.7, all hemi variants are coming back...

    Reading between the lines, they could be hurting now that the classic is gone. That truck probably made them some easy money given all the R&D was paid off long ago.

    Not just the 5.7, all hemi variants are coming back...

    The speculation is that the 5.7 is getting a minor update, possibly something like direct injection. The other speculation is that part of why this is happening is because Ram wants to offer cheaper trucks, the hemi is cheaper to make than the hurricanes. So yes they'd probably be putting the...

    Not just the 5.7, all hemi variants are coming back...

    ...according to moparinsiders. Then they dropped this juicy tidbit at the end of the article: "Additionally, a new larger-displacement HEMI variant could join the lineup in the future". https://moparinsiders.com/report-hemi-v8-production-to-begin-in-august/

    Banks pedal monster for 2019 Ram Rebel

    I'd spring for used Pulsar over the banks pedal monster then if you can find one. They do more then just pedal sensitivity, they adjust the fuel and timing and I did see it tested on a dyno where IIRC they even got more than the 30 hp advertised. Tow mode is kind of nice, in between stock and...

    Banks pedal monster for 2019 Ram Rebel

    Of all the pedal toys out there, this is the better one to get due to how its designed. I did own one for a while but found after some time I just preferred stock pedal feel and so I sold mine after I got my pulsar (since the pulsar also adjusts pedal feel if I ever wanted to go back to a...

    New boat, towing with the 1500 was excellent!

    Nice truck and boat! You absolutely do not need the 3.92, that just gets you out of hole quicker if you're doing WOT runs. The 3.92 would be doing the same 2000 to 2300 rpms, just in 7th gear instead of 6th. So don't worry about the axle ratio and just have fun.

    is the 6.4 coming to the 2026 1500

    Apparently one of the reasons they want to bring the 5.7 back is keep costs down. The 5.7 and 6.4 are cheaper to manufacture than the hurricanes, not only are they simpler engines but the research and tooling is all paid off long ago. But yeah, they have made terribly stupid mistakes in the...

    is the 6.4 coming to the 2026 1500

    I don't think they're talking about an entire SRT trim, just putting the SRT 6.4 as an engine upgrade into the lineup. That's all I'm looking for anyway. Just the engine in a tradesman/bighorn.
