How will you know?

Seriously? What arrogance. How exactly do you think these forums work? No one waits to be "addressed specifically" before joining an OPEN DISCUSSION. Clue in, Eric, the members here are not "strangers on the street", they are participants. Do you think you are some kind of elite gatekeeper that allows or disallows other members the ability to post? You wanted attention and now you got it. I hope you are happy with the results.

What the F are you talking about??

I doubt you walk up to strangers on the street and include yourself into their conversations because you want attention. Don't do that here either.

So, that's perfectly fine, move along, and have a good night.

Those were YOUR words. You went off on danielmid and hemimann, and if you read back a few pages people want to ignore you.

Get it now?

has anyone used KLOTZ oil before in a hemi? Purely curiosity. Would love to see a UOA on this stuff. https://klotzlube.com/shop/ols/prod...-synthetic-engine-lubricant-ijc/v/KE-935-CASE

Price is right around same as redline currently

My truck is still going strong with the Castrol Edge and the Puraltor Boss combo. 153k strong. I am running that same combo in the wifes Jeep.

Never heard of it until now, but ...

Potential Piston Slap additive? And/or something that can get rid of tranny shudder? Do you have high aluminum wear in uoa's? Now, I don't think this stuff is the answer for typical rfe issues, those seam to be seals and cross leaking, but this product is for transmission shudder, mind you I fixed my transmission shudder by moving to c+ now 7 years zero shudder with a single oil change. Similar to hemi tick and both product erasing many ticks, will these two products also eliminate transmission shudder? My transmission shudder was from low romp's, I drove in tow haul for 7 years and had no shudder by eliminating low rpm's, when I mixed to c+ I no longer had low rpm shudder even in low rpm's. Especially guys like me with the 3.55's and an rfe, in 3 and 4th gears it is a **** show for our engines and transmissions. Just a pile of lugging garbage in low rpm's, so driving around the city can be miserable. Does anyone else get transmision shudder in their 4 gen at low rpm's? Sounds like a hollow banging sound goes away with even a little rpm increase.

You can use this in transmission or engine oil they say.

They also made their name with atf products, so they have two other offerings that claim to fix transmission shudder and those might even be better at it. So we wait for ten years before bringing this stuff up, lol? I would try them in a rfe, don't know if I would in 8 speeds? thoughts?

 

[HEMIMANN]

How many guys have 3.55 or lower axles with RGE trans? Was this a popular combo?

With my 3.73 + 66RFE, imma just change with RL ATF +C and call it good.
1st change I did @36k miles was with Mopar ATF, but I did stat bypass at the same time to keep oil cool.

I've never had trans shudder.

 

[Burla]

I am pretty sure many or most of the guys pre 8speed got the 3.55's, it is like hitting the scratcher lotto if you were smart or lucky enough to get the 3.92. This was my first hemi and I must admit I didnt do enough research before buying. Last time that ever happens, lol.

 

[HEMIMANN]

Same story between the 3.73's & 4.10's. Dealers stocked 3.73's, if you wanted 4.10's you had to order.
My truck was on lot with deal too good to pass up. Even 3.73's are kind of luggy with the 6 speed. Can't imagine with 3.55's.

 

[Burla]

oh it's ugly, lol.

I found out the true difference when I drove my buddies ram when he got smashed and I was DD. Man, I was bummed, so this is what hemi's can be by a simple gear choice. And that is a small jump, 4:10's must be sweet.

You know my thoughts on additives, lol. But if I had over 200000 miles on my vehicle and thought it might correct/hide an issue I’d dump it in.

They used to be a big 2 stroke oil supplier back in the 70's,we used it in the snowmobiles back then,but i haven't heard much about them since then.

My 11 sport rcsb 4x4 had the 3.55 gearing. In my every day life it was perfect. Good around town and 22 mpg on long hwy trips. Not babying it while driving on hwy either. My 16 bighorn can’t match that with the 3.92 gear ratio.

 

[Burla]

Yeah but you had the 6 speed right? Maybe not, but for me they suck. The 5 speed is particularly bad 3-4 low end.

Man, you're tripping. Since when is it offensive to tell the truth?

I had the 5 speed. For me it it was perfect. I don’t live in the flat lands and there are some good size hills. I did want the 3:92 at the time, but none to be found in the rcsb. The RT had 4:10, but not 4x4.

 

[HEMIMANN]

I was surprised to learn the 6 speed had 2 overdrives. Further research revealed they split the 5th and 6th gear ratios around the previous sole 5th gear overdrive.

Gee, wonder why they did that? Anyway, when I tow today with the 6 speed, in addition to always using the tow mode shift program so it shifts @ higher rpm, I lock it out of 6th OD and sometimes 5th OD if I'm in hilly terrain. Also turn off MDS with my tuner, though tow mode might do that too.

These things let the RFE transmissions live. OEM'S are sacrificing durability and longevity at the alter of minute fuel economy improvements.
