you probably already posted, but how many watts?
They have several, but I got one with two setting because at the moment my 240V wall outlet on the outside garage wall is 10amps. So will use the low setting (1.400watts) and when I get a new outlet with 16amp fuse and thicker wall cables I will use setting #2 (1.900watts) But that 1.900 rating is just when the air around it is -25°c / -13°f or below. otherwise the fan will not blow with full power

I am amazed that peoples windshields are breaking from cold air blowing on them in the car.

Glass on these windshields are extremely durable.

Last car I hade that blew cold AC air on the winshield was my GMC Sierra 1988 I think, after that I have never seen frosting on the glass or even felt cold air going on the windshield

Hey y’all, I’m just curious..... I read it on a Ram enthusiast Facebook group from a member there that’s saying that high counts of moly is bad??? Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that pretty much the reason why y’all Redline users use redline is because of the higher moly concentration? The same for even PUP 5w30? This guys saying that that Motorkote stuff that doesn’t have moly is better because supposedly moly actually causes more wear than without.....

Just curious...

That guy is an idiot.....to be frank.

There are countless links on here to scientific proof of the anti-wear benefits of moly.

Maybe he sells motorkote.

That stuff Has nothing in it that shows up on a VOA. And it supposedly has chlorine in it. That is a no no.

I don’t know what this guy does but yeah, that’s what I thought. He’s also trying to tell me that whatever forum(s) he goes to is saying that people who use liquid moly or Mobil 1 are the ones with the cam and lifter problems. lol.

But yeah, I’m thinkin this dude’s a little cuckoo. One of his comments; don’t laugh, the guy’s spell checker skills are questionable.


if that was the case other manufacturers would be using it. But they not. My first ram had motorcraft oil in it no moly just zinc. Valvoline no moly and was used in dodge before pennzoil and moble. Hell not 1 parts store around me has herd of liquid moly or amsoil nor do they carry it. I got the best thing I could find. Being under warrenty like I am I cant use additive like moly as it turns oil black and they will see that. I'm using motorkote so they can visually see it. Chrystler is against additives when it comes to warrenty policy.

I’m wondering if mean the MOS2 additive because he’s talking about how it turns oil black.

MOS2 is not the beat stuff. Known to stick to things and “sludge up” in a way. Not real sludge that bad oil makes. But it can find places (nooks and crannies) and hang there. But is DOSE still creat an anti-wear barrier on high pressure surface.

Instill will not use it in my truck.

FCA must have created a 250ppm moly srt oil because they didn't know what they were doing? PUP 0w40 fca's baby has 250ppm + and moly is bad for hemi's? Must be a very persuasive argument, except for the 100 guys rolling around ram forum for a decade with quiet hemi's that were ticking, I don't think you could sell that idea to them. Or amsoil, you can sell that to amsoil either as they are also some of the highest moly levels around. What's the dudes name, pimweasal? scottytard?

5w30 pup regular moly level.

Motorkote is chlorinated Paraffin's, I would NOT use that if you paid me, literally.

I run redline for one reason only, it kills my ticks.

Not to mention he's another one of those guys talking about stuff from yesteryear and I quote "My first ram had motorcraft oil in it no moly just zinc. Valvoline no moly and was used in dodge before pennzoil and moble" First RAM? Could have been a 1980's RAM with an LA 318 for all we know and well before the big change in oil additives from a few years ago. Not knocking you but we hear it almost every day about how someone has used the same oil for years and years and never had any problems.

Mine said I was going South the other day, when I was going East.

Then I started craving fried crawfish.....

We can all head to Ron’s house. They have an annual craw fish boil at his work.

Proof all of the things you do worked, engine obviously being worked hard but everything else incredible numbers for how hard that thing is pulling. A lot of hills?

t stat?
trans tune?
did you have the thermo valve?

Where we are in the white mountains is really hilly. Most of the trip from MA was pretty flat.

I have a 180 tstat, V6 efan, no TBV, MH Trans pan(not sure that really helps much with temps), Greene 93 octane tune, Redline C+ in the 65, and I kept it in 4th gear for most of the trip. Once we hit the mts I dropped it to 3rd. Trans hit 152 going up one mtn but that's as hot as it got ....
