This is so stupid.
Is ram the only truck with this issue?
Its the same thing for tuners too, nothing is as easy as it should be.
IMO
for once we agree on something lol
Its ridiculous. Its the reason I will most likely sell this truck next year and just get an f150. Because doing anything is a pain in the ass.
Even though I feel strongly that the ram is nicer in almost every way. Its super easy to slap a blower and lift on a f150 and get it tuned like anywhere.
Yea, but at least you have a nicer all around truck once done.
The tune from TRD is terrible, and again, almost zero aftermarket support. Changing the tire size and gears in the PCM on those is even worse than ram tuning.
GM cant build an auto transmission so good luck running big tires and/or added power there. No thanks... but the cheapest and widest variety of parts by far.
Ford.. Over priced, angles are almost always bad on lifted trucks, not even great on a stock f150. But overall, the 5.0 and trans are solid. Ecoboost is cool, but seems like a gamble.
Ram... nicest quality? but weak front end parts (normally fixed by lift) but other than the actual lift, everything else is a pain to mess with.
pick your poison I guesss...
Hwy trips were fine if you dont mind constant downshifting and horrible milage. I had it on 37s for 2 years before doing the gears.
Off road, in the snow, it did ok. In the Mud, as long as you can stay pretty wide open on the throttle, it was ok as well. It really only is sluggish in the lower rpm range. Having 37s with 3.55s isnt completely debilitating, just doesn't perform like it would stock.
