Lifter Failure / Hot Oil / Better Cooling etc.

Sorry if I missed it in here, but is the OP 100% certain his tick isn't broken exhaust manifold bolts?

Regardless, I'd be sure to cut open and examine every used oil filter for sparkles.

I laugh but that is bad. They really are horrible, here delivering my packages to neighbors, leaving the package at the gate when the gate is open, using mail box 1/4 mile from my house, which only usps is supposed to use, etc etc, I could keep going.

 

[PoMansRam]

I had an amazon driver deliver a package to me once, where he knocked a package out the door getting back into his van. He just drove off. I retrieved it and delivered it myself given it was an address down the road.

100% certain not broken manifold bolts. Tugged on the manifolds / heatshild and I've also experienced that before - this is a different sound.

UOA going to blackstone today. HPL engine cleaner added along with RP 20-820... tons of space on the 1500 5.7

do you know if anyone actually received redline from elitefabs? have you in the past? Corey says he doesnt use them because it sounds fishy the prices are so cheap.

I ordered 2 gallons of 5w-20 and 2 gallons of 5w-30 and received it in a few days.

Sadly they are reformulating only the 0w30 redline to be less stout, hopefully it still works, but it might be the one redline formula that will benefit from adding lubegard. But imo this really blows, dave from redline has promised the 5w30 redline is not changing, that is true hemi honey but of course in some places there is cold piston slap because it is a thick oil. The answer may be mixing 3/4 0w20 and 5w30 to get close to 0w30, and yes this really blows imo. This has been discussed, it might not be a thing, but if your tick comes back with 0w30 redline you will know why.

This is on redlines website 0w30 is Currently out of stock. I assume when it is back in stock it will be the new formula. It has to do with who recommends 0w30's, redline is going after that market. A lot of ram forum members who like that formula will be the guinea pigs. It will have less additives and perhaps lower visc as well. It still has good base oils, but yet to be determined if it will be as good against tick.

That sucks, I hadn't heard that yet. Thanks for the update.. looks like I will be going back to 5w30!

What oil did you use with the HPL engine cleaner?

 

[Black1500Ram]

What oil did you use with the HPL engine cleaner?

M1 fs 5w40 euro and rp 20-820 filter, 1.5/6ish quarts, cleaner/oil. The bigger filter adds a fair bit of capacity.

Yes it does! I got 8 in mine with the bigger filter! I use m1 0w40 in mine

Yeah, the notice of ship damage came from Fedup Distress, not Elite.

whats supposed to happen now?

 

[HEMIMANN]

Fedup Distress's email stated "no action is required" (on my part) hah!! They state they have contacted the "shipper" to "discuss" disposition.

Geezus Fuching Christ - so I called Elite, permanent hold, message said the "best way" to contact is via email. So I sent yet another email.

Just loving the new millenia. Performance like this would have got us fired in the 20th century. Youth won't s*l*a*v*e for the man today like we did, but neither do they perform at all. Extremes either way are unproductive.

*end rant*

Yes, they sent tracking info.

 

[HEMIMANN]

Yes, they sent tracking info.

Which delivery service? Fedup Distress is godawful. United Package Smashers is marginal. USPS has been ok in my region.

 

[Black1500Ram]

AGS delete done that was silly easy.
Trans bypass tomorrow morning when it’s not 111 out.

 

[06 Dodge]

No problems here but FedEx only had to travel 50 miles for delivery.

I had Fed X screw up an Amsoil shipment and it only had to travel 30 miles, in fact they took it back to Amsoil do to it leaking at there Wearhouse, Amsoil sent the next one by UPS.

I honestly don't remember what service delivered it. It was FedEx or UPS. I will go back through my emails and see if I can find it.
