    ram 1500 Turbo 3.6 pentastar setup for towing

    I've seen plenty of 3.6 turbo kits for the challengers and jeeps. However, I see nothing for the ram. I'm guessing because for the ram it's hemi or nothing. I have to admit, I was never a fan of a v6 1/2 ton truck. Yet, the 3.6 dohc with the 8speed feels like a nifty modern setup. I often tow my...

    Towing upgrades for 3.6 pentastar

    Thanks for the input. Out of curiosity, would a 4x4 pumpkin or rear axle assembly bolt onto my 2wd? I will continue to explorer the used truck market but again it's insanely expensive. I think I can sell my truck for more than I financed it for in today's market. I am going to call a local...

    Towing upgrades for 3.6 pentastar

    Wel noted with thanks! I have sumitomo 285/60/20's. The wheels came with the truck when I purchased it. I was opting for factory wheels but these wheels had new tires at the time. Anyhow, 3.92 vs 4.10 thoughts?

    Towing upgrades for 3.6 pentastar

    I am trying to solve a durability problem. Yes, I am technically within ratings. However, I don't see many people hauling boats with an N/A v6 truck. Therefore, I am eager to mod any system in the truck to gain leverage or tow capacity ratio; longevity, etc.

    Towing upgrades for 3.6 pentastar

    Right on 392devildog. My colleague has a supercharged jeep and it's wicked for a v6. I remember 20K would get be a decent used truck. Good luck with that now. I completely understand the no replacement for displacement theory. But, $2,000 or less doesn't compare from a value perspective in...

    Towing upgrades for 3.6 pentastar

    I want to try just about everything to avoid having to dish out $$$ for a v8 in today's used truck market. The situation: 2013 1500 quad cab 3.6 pentastar 2WD w/tow package 3.55 pulling ~7,000lbs boat I and a few friends who own v8 trucks are surprised how it handles the heavy load. However, I...

    quad cab swap to crew cab rear seats

    Awesome deangtp. Thanks for the feedback guys. W, I would like to think that the crew cab would incorporate different seats in addition to the leg room(longer cab) I find it very uncomfortable in the back due to the seats. Not so much the leg room

    quad cab swap to crew cab rear seats

    Hello all, I was wondering if this is possible: swapping out the rear seats in the quad cab 1500 for crew cab seats. I understand the leg room will be shorten but will they clip right on? thanks in advance

    Overheating Issue

    Sounds like The flush helped assuming the coolant was as dirty as the one you showed us in a picture earlier. With that said perhaps your engine runs a little cooler in general than my 3.6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Overheating Issue

    What is your before and after normal operational temp? Did you put in a lower degree thermostat? As I said for some engines 220 is normal ops

    Overheating Issue

    221 is considered normal ops on a 3.6 is that not the case for the V-8's? What was your normal operational temperature before the "overheating"?

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    What lharrelll has been saying. Car runs smooth. I put over1k miles in less than a month with hours stuck in traffic with no 'real' overheating issue. My service adviser is now waiting for his supervisor to return from vacation since he has to "approve" me skipping the diagnostic fee - silly...

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    I was able to communicate with the service advisor. He promised to call back. Never hear from him. I assume he's queued up - will try again tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    Apologies for not getting back to you. I've left tons of voicemails to the one and only service advisor at my local Dodge Ram dealer who is willing to do the work I instruct him to do. All other dealers tell me that they need to run a diagnostic and charge me $100 - without they won't even...

    Pics of leveled 4x4 trucks with what size tire and wheels you are running.

    Thanks for the feedback. I bought a 1500 qc slt pentastar with 20 inch mb tko wheels w/ sport truck sumitomo tires that ride quiet but extra rough. I can feel every pebble on the road. I'll post a pick tomorrow. Keep in mind I'm not a big fan of wheels - especially the tires. The truck came with...

    Cool thread. Question: how's the road noise with most of these tires? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    Thanks so so much. I'm not sure why they couldn't find the tsb based on the numbers I gave to them. I'm going to show this to the dealer and see what they say. I will update you guys ASAP Thanks again

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    I'm simply trying to go to them and say: please fix this tsb in order to avoid paying $100 diagnostic fee for them to tell me something I already know and then pay for the actual tsb.

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    Any one? I also noticed my oil temp a bit high. I would really like to avoid paying an $100 if I had a valid tsb # Cheers

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    Thanks for the feedback. Update: I have called to local Dodge dealers and none of them can find this TSB. They are asking me to bring the car in to have it diagnosed which cost $100 and if then they can pull up the correct TSB it will be another hundred dollars. I am pretty sure that they...

    V6 Pentastar running extra warm

    Many thanks and apologies for missing it. So, Tstat opens at 221? Wondering if there is a different thermostat. I hear the hemi folks install 180 degree tstat's and it works wonders. i will need to further research this.
