So you are sure a 2012 HD gasser gets better MPG than a new Grand Cherokee?... I wouldn’t choose that hill to die on. My 2500 with the 6.4 hasn’t seen over 16 MPG since October (highway driving). My Charger with 8 speed and SRT 6.4 will get 20-25 on the highway, right now on winter tires and...
Fuel eco can vary a lot between person to person due to driving habits, climate, environment/terrain, engine mileage. MPG differences would also be assuming you would drive both gear sets exactly the same. Bottom line is the difference is negligible and we are already talking about a truck that...
I don’t think you can do anything 100% to the TPMS with just the Procal. I reconfigured my thresholds with the Procal but nothing was completed until the dealer flashed the truck.
I agree with everyone saying go new. It's a pain but go to 2 or 3 different dealers and see who gives you the best deal. The new 8 speed will be a huge difference in capability and driveability.
It could be possible that they are (were?) planning to basically just keep the bat shit supercharged stuff at the top and drop the NA Hemis... In other words Hellcat/RedEye or Hellephant will be the only Hemis left. Drop the price of the original Hellcat a little bit to please the 392 crowd and...
I heard this too. Bummer. Well here's hoping they still put them in the Dodges. N/A version would be so much fun. Can't freakin show us the Hellephant crate engine and then give us no production versions !! :eek:
I’ve always thought adding parts to try and get more response and then wanting better MPG is kind of counterproductive anyway. Only time I’ve ever seen better MPG after making any changes to the air induction of a V8 on a stock tune was with cruise control set on a longer trip.
My Ram with S&B...
I have to say I think Ford made the 2020 Super Duty look a little too much like the F150 with the grill and headlights. Now unless you have a 450 dually they all kind of look the same to me. The new Ram 4500/5500’s look pretty damn beefy. A little surprised Ram didn’t start offering a factory...
The 6.4 is a beast and a good platform to work with. I can imagine just pairing it with the 8 speed already helped immensely to put the power down. But in the next year or two they’ll have to do something to respond to the numbers on paper. They take that game seriously. There’s no way I see...
Fuel economy will be interesting. The 10 speed will help, but except for a few cosmetics like the grill the exterior of the truck is identical to the 2017-2019 model. Ram claims the 2019 HDs are now the most aerodynamic HD truck on the market.
There are plenty of things Ford does that make me roll my eyes, especially when it comes to product reveals. Why no power numbers? Wtf. But I give them full credit for having the guts to release this engine. Especially because now it will make Ram move their ball forward and give us better...
But the 5.7 isn’t made to compete with the Mustang GT. It’s the 392.
The 5.7 will be the first Hemi replaced, but I wouldn’t call it a has been quite yet though. It is still relevant and doing a good job competing where it needs to. Chrysler just has no “real” performance aspirations for the...
Good comparison and info. I had the Mufflex w/ resonator set up since the truck was practically brand new. Did just enough for me to get some sound. It actually did make it a heck of a lot louder sounding than stock. Stock is down right pathetic. It is especially louder at cold starts and WOT...
A lot can play into this. We have no idea how much weight the OP had in his truck. Not sure what gears you have in your truck but if you have 3.92’s and OP has 3.21’s it makes a difference. I have no idea what gears 5.0 F150’s come with from the factory. Or OP was mistaken and the Furd was a 3.5...
Personally I’m not going to bother touching the fluid on any of my 8 speeds unless it was under severe use like constant towing, constant drag racing or track use in the heat. And the manuals clear as day recommend doing a fluid change under those “severe duty” circumstances. If the fluid is not...
Wind chills are supposed to bring -40 or something around lower MI tomorrow. Then Sunday is supposed to be over 40. So T shirt weather. Let the power washing begin.
I’d guess it’s just the way your exhaust has broken in. In my experience they reach their loudest between 5-10k miles. You are also going to get more rasp and a louder exhaust under acceleration when it is really cold out. My Charger 392 has been shaking the parking garage at work since the...
They are crazy expensive. Just went on Chevy's website and a base LS with only the max trailer package (and whatever else they force you to get with it) runs you just under $55k. Add a few grand more for a Suburban. The Premier trim starts at just under $70k, for Tahoe. Good Lord.
My biggest...
Camshaft position sensor. Not sure why there would be black soot type substance coming out around there, but maybe someone would know? I’d try to clean up the area and keep an eye on it.
