    hurricane or 5.7/6.4 hemi

    I'm not kidding. Direct injection isn't any more complicated than MPFI on the Hemi. . Turbos aren't complicated if you understand them. DOHC isn't that bad. And yes, I have owned, and modified, a single turbo, DOHC Dodge before. I was anxious about tearing into that engine, until I did...

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    As I said there are several different things that can cause the issue. Bad rollover valve on the tank, bad vapor canister(usually from over filling and fuel being sucked in), bad fill hose from tank to cap, nas vent on the tank

    Dip stick?

    I didn't say you weren't informed, I said it was unfounded fear. Oil level sensors have been in use for decades, and there hasn't been any widespread issue with them. Not saying some haven't had issues, but it's probably less than Hemis that have had lifter issues, even with a dipstick.

    hurricane or 5.7/6.4 hemi

    Not sure why people think the Hurricane is this crazy complicated engine with lots of moving parts. Comparatively, it's far less complicated than the current He.i with e-torque .

    hurricane or 5.7/6.4 hemi

    There are a lot of Hurricanes over 100K miles. Theyve been used in the Grand Wagoneer for 3-4 years

    Won't remote start if < 1/4 tank of fuel. Is this adjustable?

    I've put 25 gallons in my 26 gallon tank.

    hurricane or 5.7/6.4 hemi

    Ram has had the 6.4 in the HD trucks for many years. It will not make its way into the 1500

    hurricane or 5.7/6.4 hemi

    Only the HO requires premium

    Dip stick?

    Rediculous is the unfounded fear some people have about not having a dipstick.

    Backup Camera Too Bright at Night

    I don't have that issue. Not what you call "too bright". Make sure the dimmer switch is turned down one click. Mine is not any brighter than the fudge cluster.

    hurricane or 5.7/6.4 hemi

    The biggest issue with the 25+ trucks has been software issues, not mechanical. The Hurricane is a fairly solid engine. No 6.4 for the 1500s

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    That would be "repairable" if you wanted to go that route. Most insurance compycover chip repair for free. Otherwise, I'd make sure to ask for OEM glass.

    Dip stick?

    You obviously don't live anywhere it snows if you think running out of washer fluid can't be catastrophic. And the other components can develop leaks. As far as requiring frequent changes, a properly maintained engine shouldn't burn enough oil between changes for it to be an issue. So...

    Dip stick?

    Know what else doesn't have dipsticks. Your transfer case, front and rear differentials, and your windshield washer fluid. I bet you've never complained about any of those. Windshield washer has a level sensor on it . You probably never think about that failing.

    H8 Group battery install

    That's expensive, even for a lithium battery. Which also don't work well in the cold.

    Dip stick?

    There are far more expensive cars made without dipsticks.

    Seeking directions / Advice on changing tire size from factory tires...

    As you said, measured diameter, provided from manufacturer, is based on unloaded tire not mounted on vehicle, and probably a specific PSI. Once you install them, and add the weight of the vehicle, that number changes. So that's probably why the factory numbers don't "match" the unloaded...

    5W30

    Comparing racing oils used by NASCAR teams to the stuff your average consumer buys from the store is a big stretch. All high dollar racing teams, no matter which form, use custom blends nobody else has access to and they blend them to achieve specific results. They don't use the same oil at...

    5W30

    That's one way to take the video. About he also said there was a higher number of 5w-30 samples that had sheared than there were 5w-20 samples. And that because of the amount of viscosity modifiers the 5w-30 was more likely to break down a shear.
