they were junk(360)
I'd hesitate to call the 360 junk... It had a 30 year run.

Instead how about blaming the true root cause which was the ridiculous EPA requirements of that era and Dodge's ****-poor engine management systems. Good motor that always had two hands wrapped around it's throat.

I've had my truck for three, years, and today I learned there is supposed to be a little green light in the dash that says "ECO" when the MDS activates. I've never seen this before, apparently the dealer turned this setting off before I took delivery of the truck. Anyway, a buddy of mine showed me how to turn this on today, and so now I'm going to be getting much better mileage. :gayfight:

I didn't know there was a way to turn this on/off. Sometimes I'd rather just leave it off and listen to the motor purr without half the cylinders shut down.

HaHa, ya... I don't think it was actually shut off, just the indicator light was set to "Don't Show" the control settings in Uconnect.

I always set it in max gear 8 after I take off. Keeps the MDS from kicking in.

Hey, I like how he went out and found a nice empty parking lot to rotate his tires. Nice, big, flat, level area... I never woulda thought of that. I ain’t got no concrete or nothin’ like that around my house but I know of a few places to do that when it comes time to rotate the BFG’s.

That's the parking lot to my apartment lol. Took the picture while standing in my rental garage doorway.

I loved my 360 in my old '95 Ram. For a worn out truck with with nearly 175k under the belt, a rigged up 5 speed and some 33" MTs, that old beast could run. I miss that thing a lot. Have more attachment to it than I did my 3rd gen and my current 4th gen

Headlight mod? What did you modify? All I did to mine was just toss those factory bulbs and replaced them with the Sylvania ZXE bulbs in my lowbeams, highbeams and fogs. My light’s not that white but they’re a lot whiter than they were.

You replace the factory 9005's with 9011's. Much more lumens, just requires a few snips

Do you replace both the lows and the highs with 9011’s? And this is for the premium projectors, correct?
