MDS....Did you turn it off or leave it on?
From what I have been seeing, the engines with MDS seem to have a cam and lifter failure earlier than non mds systems. It causes uneven wear on the cam lobe. The cylinders that are always on will be the problems first. If you can delete the system do it. The roller bearing in the lifter is the...- DriftMachine

voltage dropping when bass hits
I put a second battery tray on the passenger side in the engine compartment, and added a second battery. I did this several years ago for the same reason. It made my issues go away, and my amps sound way cleaner. I ran the power wire direct to the alternator. I routed the power wire along the...- DriftMachine

Should I stay away from Hemi because if breaking manifold bolts?
As for broken Exhaust bolts I got a few tips. 1. Before removal. Spray the bolts in pb blaster and let sit overnight. I would do this a few times if possible. 2. Use 8 point sockets. Last thing you need is slippage. 3. On bolts that seem to need more effort try going tighter just to get a...- DriftMachine

2” Lift + Wider Tires?
If you get Wheel Spacers, make sure they are hub centric. My first spacers were not and they were creaking like crazy. I got hub centric in a month after. If they are hub centric most of downsides are gone. The only remaining downsides is the leverage ratio change to your suspension, and could...- DriftMachine

Anyone bother to put synthetic in the 3.6?
Reasons to change your oil at the old school recommended 3k interval. No matter the engine it all applies. 1. Carbon is going to build up at the same rate. Carbon is abrasive. 2. Today's engines are made at much tighter tolerances than one 20 years ago. 3. The valve train seems to be most...- DriftMachine

Stalling out while driving
You seem to be describe my exact issue. Right down to the downshifting. I was thinking it could be my trans, but I never did figure out the issue. I pulled my coil, and grabbed the coil from the other dead truck and swapped it when I could no longer start my truck. It started right up. Thinking...- DriftMachine

Stalling out while driving
Dies after hard acceleration The previous owner claims he had the transmission rebuilt. Doubt the trans could be the issue, but I am open to ideas. I just did a head job. I thought maybe a loose wire. One wire was loose, the idler valve, but I fixed that. But the truck still dies. When the...- DriftMachine
