    Kicking around the idea of replacing mechanical fan with electric one.

    Interesting discussion. Having come from a 2015 Challenger R/T to my current 2021 Warlock, I love the clutch fan. When I went to the 180 stat in the Challenger, I had to change the temp values for the electric fan with my tuner. Then I got a check engine light, so my tuner guy had to send me a...

    Watch Idle Hours & Change Oil every 3k Miles to Avoid Engine Failure!!

    "Hellcat Lifters" are already in every Hemi made, post 2015. If this was a design flaw, it would have cropped up in the 2003-2008 pre-Eagle engines. Since those engines are not known for eating cams/lifters, it must be that one (or more) of the changes made, post-2008, has to be the cause: 1)...

    Ambient Temp Sensor Replacement located in Driver Side Rearview Mirror

    Check the thread below. Seems very straightforward. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/ambient-temp-sensor.119594/

    Levelling or 3” lift that rides as close to stock as possible

    There was zero possibility of me grinding/cutting my wheel studs. In fact I had a set in my checkout cart in case they were needed. And if I had a shop, I'd operate the same way with regards to spacers. It's one thing for me to trust them as I'm the one who installed them, and I know how...

    Levelling or 3” lift that rides as close to stock as possible

    I didn't have to do anything with my studs, but some of the other (non-20") wheels may require it if you are using something less than 2". Check at the wheel hub face - if there are 'pockets', you're likely gonna be fine. If it's smooth, then anything less than 2" will need to be filed down, or...

    Levelling or 3” lift that rides as close to stock as possible

    I was in the same boat. My truck is a 21 with 7k miles on it. All I wanted to do is level it out and push the tires out a bit. I did enough research to know that I was not interested in the puck that goes above the coil. For every positive review I saw for those, I found 20 negative. Bilstein's...

    2021 Ram 1500 Warlock 4x4

    I went with a RC 2" leveling kit. All of the strut extension type kits come with a spacer that goes on top of the strut, like this one does. The problem you will run into is this will now cause the suspension to over extend the UCA, thus deteriorating the upper ball joint. The RC kit comes with...

    2022 Ram Classic (Warlock)

    Yours has more 'goodies' than mine. Crew cab, Alpine with sub, fog lights, Ram Box. Ya - you're gonna love that one!

    2022 Ram Classic (Warlock)

    If you can swing a Rebel, get the Rebel. I've always been a believer in starting with the highest trim you can afford, as opposed to "built, not bought". I would have loved to get a Rebel, but it was way outside my budget (and I wanted new, not used). I went with a '21 Warlock and absolutely...

    Delving into the oil/tick/additive discussion.

    I don't think MDS has anything to do with the lifter failures. There have been plenty of cases of non-MDS 6.4's that have eaten cams/lifters and those come from the factory with those plugs, right? The pre-Eagle 5.7's don't have this issue (valve seats are the weak point with those engines), so...

    New Ram owner. I crossed over. I may have made the wrong choice

    So what changed between Eagle and pre-Eagle 5.7's? The pre-Eagle engines didn't have a lifter or cam issue (certainly not like the Eagles. With those engines, it was valve seats), and architecturally I'm pretty sure they're the same. The only real change that I can think of is the variable valve...

    Poll- Do you like MDS?

    My 2005 300C's MDS was seamless. Couldn't feel it -at all-. On my 2015 Challenger R/T, I could feel it. On my 21 Warlock, I can feel it. With the Challenger and the Warlock, MDS never kicked in on the parkway at anything over 70 mph, which means it never engaged for all practical purposes. But...
