'Ya know, this could be like the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory thing. You may have the "golden truck." You may have one the $1 billion prize !! Unfortunately, Stellantis likely doesn't have $1B of unencumbered cash to pay you.
My 2021 5.7 eTorque has just started an issue after over a year and 7800 miles. Up until the last couple of weeks, the system has worked flawlessly. Previously, whenever I came to a complete stop the engine would shut down seamlessly. Now, I come to a stop and the engine shuts down but the...
Yes, I know. The point is: There are people saying when they receive the AI (the correct OEM thermostat), it is a 203 deg thermostat. There is online "talk" that the Mopar website incorrectly states that is 195 deg.
There is some discussion on the interwebs that OEM part 52028898AI is actually 203deg and 52028898AE is 195deg. Rock Auto also shows 203deg as OE temperature. But do your own research and don't yell at me if you disagree.
Thanks for sharing those links. The second one (Questek) is particularly interesting. Just to be clear (I think you already know this), I'm not advocating for the old school logic of putting a 160deg or 180deg thermostat in a vehicle that is designed for a 192deg t-stat. What I'm questioning...
I purely talking about power. To me "optimal temperature for combustion" implies a balance/compromise of efficiency, emissions, and power. I'm still researching and finding mixed information. But I'm consistently seeing that cooler engines make more power on the dyno; nothing authoritative...
Forgive me, but I'm skeptical. I think it's an emissions thing. If you have a citation you can share, that would be great. I'll see what I can find on my own. And how do higher engine temperatures result in cooler intake temperatures?
Thanks !! I was hoping somebody would do that. So, according to the survey, the least disappointment comes with the S-Type. Those disappointed with Atak presumably think it's too loud and those disappointed with Touring presumably think it's too quiet.
It's too bad you have to vote to see the results. I haven't installed anything but I would like to see what others think. I don't want to throw a fake vote into the mix just to see the results.
The oil labs will tell you that time doesn't matter as far as oil is concerned, only mileage. I think this is likely true for a well-functioning engine that doesn't contaminate the oil with fuel or push the oil ph into the corrosive zone.
Interesting. My dealer used OEM at my first oil change in Jun/July 2021. I just checked to see what they used at my latest oil change in May 2022 and it's a Napa Gold. I'm not a fan of Napa anything but they didn't go for the cheapest thing available so I'm not upset.
Damn, man. You posted on 5/18 that you were "considering" going with aftermarket headers. The next post was early morning on 5/23 that you were DONE with the install (even though it was a PITA). I'm impressed: That's serious gettin'-it-dunnage !!
