    5.7 Hemi 545rfe OD Rpm Pulsing

    2010 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7 545rfe, No loads Specifically and only in the mph range of 45 to 55mph, with cruise pedal pressure, and in OD with rpms being in the 1200 - 1490 range, the rpm needle and engine (noise) will pulse rapidly 50 rpm (think tach needle width) non stop until you either release...

    Me? No I’m pretty light footed. I’m pretty positive a dragging caliper. The old pads, one set was way different from the others. And I lose momentum way to quickly if i let off the gas. I’m gunna order all new calipers and brackets I’m gunning for the power stop ones simply because they’re...

    Strut bolt was frozen in the sleeve. So pressed out the whole bolt sleeve and rubber bushing. I have heard tell of the bushing housing coming out with chisels and wishful thought and then sometimes needing a 500 lb press.

    Oil Catch Can Dump photos

    Survival stories are the most groundless source of argument. I’m not trying to argue for or against really. The viscosity is so nominal between the two the benefits require long term scientific studies and I’m certainly not the guy to know which way or what on that. I’m just trying to present...

    The higher the weight the more friction and windage. The lubrication can be achieved irrespective of weights. You can look up specs for each oil. Generally, the viscosity is most relevant for your weather conditions. The oils themselves are engineered to meet lubrication minimums regardless of...
