    Pulsar installed

    I have had zero issues with my Pulsar unit since installing it in May with 1000 miles on the ODO. I installed it along with the gorgeous S&B CAI. I run 93 Octane top-tier fuels most of the time while local with 89 mid-grade top-tier fuel for long distance trips. I run mostly in Performance...

    Traded in the Raptor for a Rebel 12A....!!! Back to Mopar/Ram

    Man, what a revelation, a decision that must have been hard fought? Ford Raptor has led the way, both in terms of off-road prowess, but in prestige with its 6.2L beast and even more, a rock solid 450HP, 510tq 3.5L Eco-Beast. There is no questioning this and year after year, no manufacturer can...

    First oil change - Lifter Noise

    Ranger, all great comments and excellent maintenance tips and suggestions. My last Ram 1500 was 4x4 and cycling the transfer case or changing the oil in it never crossed my mind even know I never had any issues. I will say, the Corporate 8" rear diff needs a good flush every 16-18000miles. Just...

    Headers and a Cam?

    DTru, I would agree with you in that fact, but fairly sure you gained some performance for adding headers alone. It does take a good 500-750 miles for the ECU to pick up the added benefit. People don't wait long enough, they want results right away. It just doesn't work that way with modern day...

    First oil change - Lifter Noise

    There is no such thing as break-in oil anymore with modern day vehicles that are released to the consumer, just like there is no more break-in period in your user manual. The break-in period is done at the factory for these motors and the trans and is why most if not all tranny fluid changes are...

    8 speed Transmission starting in 2nd gear

    I have not experienced either since owing my Ram for just over a month. As a matter of fact, I have not had most or many of the issues of those who bought there 2019 Ram early on. Shifting from park to drive or reverse and back has always been smooth since I've owned the truck which currently...

    Pulsar Tuner CEL

    Just disconnect negative side of the battery and cycle engine on/off about 4-5 times and let U-Connect resynch and you should be fine. The most important thing is buying the USB-to-OBDII Data cable from Edge/Superchips, Download their latest software update and upload the tuner. I have no...

    Diesel's Mod Report--Edge Pulsar Piggy Back + S&B CAI + B2 Fabrication 14" Resonator Delete

    5th Gen Ram Fans, I wanted to take some time to report the good, the bad, and maybe the ugly with the latest mod adventure I have pursued over the last 30 days since owning the truck. Currently, I have 2002 miles on the ODO and started with bed liner, Tonneau cover, and tinted windows. I...

    Installed the S&B Cold air

    Firebird, Thanks for the input and yes, your revelation is exactly what a great bolt-on can do for your motor. In your own experience, a good CAI like the S&B, may not increase HP/TQ, I'd beg to differ here, but you removed the inlet restriction which in turn rewarded you with improvements in...

    Slimchance, Now that is some pretty darn good mileage with that excess baggage you were carrying. Nice!

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    So, as of today, the wife and I decided to take a nice drive in Central Texas, specifically a 120 mile round trip to Lake Buchanan, which has a lot of rolling hills, curves, off camber blind turns and other scenic environments that are pleasing to anyone who enjoys the spacious and beautiful 19...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    Coz, Well that is certainly the reason for the poor mileage, cold weather + low grade 87 octane (89 is minimally recommended) + winter blend unleaded (always reveals crap economy) = crap mileage

    Diesel' Introduction to 5thGenRAMs

    Hey guys, sorry I am late to the party, but I'm new to the forum but certainly not new to RAMs or other great American vehicles currently available to the consumer. I have been interacting a bit with fellow members and excited to be a proud owner of a 2019 Ram Laramie 5.7L (Non-E-TRQ) Laramie...

    Installed the S&B Cold air

    Silver 64, That is a sweet intake and mine will be here later this week. I have installed many CAIs on multiple vehicles, all with great results especially if you join them with additional bolts-ons and good tuning software. The key here is if you are going to let more air in the motor, you...

    Headers and a Cam?

    Headers will probably provide you some good numbers without tuning. The upstream and downstream O2 sensors will adjust for the increased CFM flow pushing through the headers which will thereby ensure the correct fuel tables/AFRs are modified by the EUC. But once you cam the 5.7, tuning your...

    Possible FIX! Speaking Your Own Voice-to-Text Reply on Uconnect

    Gents, all of you have valid arguments regarding the tech with Uconnect with today's latest garden variety, but remember this, the roads and accidents related to distracted driving are growing and the government pretty much owns the auto industry. That means liability and tech with being the...

    19 Ram 5.7 engine using too much oil. Ended up getting new engine under warranty due to a ring and piston issue. Alls well now

    Okay that is some oil consumption there brother. The fact the expectable level of oil use is one quart per 2000 miles up to 50,000 miles tells me right away that too many owners are not breaking their 5.7s in the right way. Be that I had an 06 5.7 Hemi, I never burned any oil with that motor...
