    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Ha! That’s exactly what I use but without ram boxes there is some gaps on the side, but that has never once mattered or been an issue.

    2025 3.0L I6 K&N Performance Air Intake System

    There are probably 2-4 sensors tracking IATs along the intake track. There were 3 on the 3.5 EcoBoost. I could read all 3, but had to do some experimenting unplugging them methodically to find out which was which. IAT2 turned out to be post-intercooler & the one to monitor. I do not know if...

    2021 Ram Rebel - Hood Vents

    Nice work! One food for thought, usually after any type of coolant loss/refill - as experienced with a radiator replacement - if temps are higher than before the job I usually seek to eradicate air in the cooling system. Did you look into bleeding the cooling system as well? A few ways to do...

    Ram Ups the Ante with 10-Year, 100K-Mile Powertrain Warranty

    I think this is phenomenal news. They looked at all the doubt on the Hurricane being discussed on the interwebs and made a great move, even if it's just optics (basically they are eating the cost for an extended PT warranty that is already available today for a couple thousand $$ from many...

    Wind turbine system?

    I'm sure Stellantis engineers are smarter than me, but I can't help thinking about that pesky first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy.

    Hemi returns - is it really a good deal?

    That's what Ford did to the F150 - all come with the 36 gal now. Want less gas? Fill up less.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    If you are scouring the net for new trucks on-lot or in transit, the bulk of them are advertised with stock photos. So the Window Sticker or VIN is all you really have.

    Upload the vid to YouTube and post the YT link here. Would love to hear it.

    Eibach pro truck stage 2 R

    Just the 2 posts immediately above mine in this here thread is all. If you’ve got the good scoop that’s awesome. It might be worth the gamble.

    Eibach pro truck stage 2 R

    D I should probably call Eibach anyway to confirm given the conflicting info. I would be willing to spend the money on trying new rears if they are different, but not if they are valved the same.

    Hemi s Back

    I would also think that is a small market, but then I see an absurd amount of RCAB F150 Coyotes running around where I live in CO that I think hey - what do I know?? Funny thing is they all like it for it's "sleeper" appearance, but nowadays the more-surprising thing to see would be an RCAB...

    Eibach pro truck stage 2 R

    I love my Eibach coilovers, though I don't have the remote reservoirs form the 2R version in the rear, and wonder what difference that might make in the everyday ride (I know the reservoir will enhance fade resistance, but what I'm wondering is if they made changes to the valving since a RR...

    Hemi s Back

    Hemi will play a similar role to Ford's 5.0 or GM's 5.3 - it isn't meant to be the most powerful option, and now that Ram has the Hurricane, it has no need to be. And on paper, Hemi has the same power as the Coyote, and more power and torque than the GM. Ford and GM each sell a worthwhile...

    Hemi s Back

    The eTorque may simply be the price we pay to resurect the Hemi. A bit of future-proofing for the manic changes to EPA policy, and since it is now unlikely to be a volume engine, it doesn't make sense to have it a la carte. What I would like, if they are going to force feed us eTorque, is...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Sweet! Think it would add 1,500hp on the regular Hemi? Or should I assume it would only add about half that? I have a NOS sticker to make up the difference anyway.

    2023 Jayco JAY FEATHER 27BHB

    There's a ton of towing threads on this and other forums. For now the best guidance I'd have is to ignore the trailer manufacturer's stated hitch and dry weights in your calculations. Instead, use the GVWR as the assumed towed weight, and 11% - 13% of that GVWR as your assumed hitch weight...

    6.4 Hemi in the 1500 for 2026

    I would love that but I wouldn't myself be able to get too excited if the source was a dealer, and especially if it was a dealer's source.

    Lesson Learned

    Sounds like a load of horse sh!t. But good thing that didn't come out too.

    Nitto Terra Grappler G3

    Rubber compound. Very difficult to balance targets for winter traction and tire longevity. Get it wrong and the rubber turns to rock in the cold. On top of that, siping - and it's directionality - could be poor, despite looking the part. The G2's were likewise awful in snow, and even rain...

    Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

    Realistically, I think it's most common for a half ton crew cab to play grocery getter. It's kinda why they make them. Younger folks may not remember that unless you worked for the railroad, you weren't likely to ever ride in a truck with 4 forward-hinged doors at any time prior to the 21st...
