This is one case where it may be useful to utilize a spray that dries electrical contacts, after disconnecting , something like CRC QD electronic cleaner or even WD40, which is also good at displacing moisture. Spray the connector ports after disconnecting and see what happens/. Good luck and I...

As I mentioned before, we had the hurrricane HO in Grand Wagoneer L we rented for about two weeks last summer. Loaded with four people, three dogs, luggage and what not. I said it then and will say it again, and I would apply it to the SO as well having driven it - no one will miss the hemi if...

The hemi is back because Tavares was too much of a European to see that a significant chunk of the customer base that buys pickups wants a V8, and no doubt this is also what the dealers were saying. The hurricane SO and HO are fine motors - I actually think they are world class on the same...

People care about MPG because it is a measure of operating cost for a vehicle/. I am not blending concepts but this is also past the point of useful discussion. I actually like the hurricane - had the HO version in a rental GC L for a trip for two weeks - so I think people are taking it as a...

I don’t want to argue but the point of miles per gallon is cost. Higher mpg cars are cheaper to run. However, if a marginal increment of improvement requires premium or a higher octane fuel, that additional cost must be put into the mix to get an honest comparison. The only exception to this...

Understood. My only point was saying the hurricane achieves better fuel economy than the v8 is incomplete if you don’t account for the differential cost of the higher octane fuel. That’s really all.

I didn’t realize even the SO hurricane has a “like” for the higher octane fuel. There is a substantial difference in price near me between 87 and 91, often approaching a dollar a gallon, and so that essentially undoes any fuel economy achieved by the turbo six on a cost per mile basis if you...

Not offensive at all. A half ton offers great flexibility. A couple times a year I tow so it is handy to have. Many times a year I haul tools as I am the maintenance volunteer at a local park. Nice to not have smelly, somewhat dirty gas two stroke tools in the interior or trunk of your car...

I assume that the DEF is full? Always start with the simple stuff first EPA mandates that the diesels using DEF have to be refilled or the engine shuts off within a certain period, to avoid evading the emissions requirement (I am going to restrain myself to not comment on what I think about...

If this is the case then go to the dealer where you bought it and have them install one that has all the correct parts

That is a normal fitting tonneau. It makes the bed water resistant not water tight. Gaps are necessary to some degree to allow for a small amount of expansion and contraction and to be able to close the tailgate - too tight and it won’t close or open easily. Your truck bed is a truck bed...

How many miles on the oil? What kind of filter? I would start by changing the oil and using a Mopar filter. Current filter might have partial or small obstruction.

They are charging you based on the price of the truck not the price of the work. The assumption is someone who buys an expensive vehicle doesn’t know enough or care about the price of service so they can over charge. It is not a good business practice but enough people must do it for them to...

I have a 2020 5.7 with etorque. This issue happened a couple of times with my truck within a mile of my house after first being started. I noticed it happened when the engine shut off activated (typically warm day so it didn’t need much time to hit the acceptable range for engine idle shut...

Thank you. If the manifolds crack and they are out of warranty I will see if the shop can install these. Looking at the photo they seem more Robust than stock.

Does anyone have hands on experience with the Dorman? I typically associate them with junk but willing to be corrected if others have better experience / knowledge. Think it is ridiculous this still happens given the maturity of this engine design.

People here are not giving Toyota enough credit for assembly line quality, even though yes they get a benefit by having mature designs (much. Like Ram with the 5.7 and the 8 speed - both are not new, and that is a good thing in my view). One mechanical issue I had on my truck is the front wheel...

I did, you just ignore them.

Actually it’s what folks say when people get tired of you brow beating everyone about oil and making people crazy thinking the factory oil specs are a conspiracy. Lifter failures in these trucks are a manufacturing defect. They are not a lubrication issue. Used to have the same debate in the...

This is what folks say when they lack a coherent response.
