Oil Filter Thread
Well it's unfortunate that it seems the RP 20-500 filter is a mixed bag on fitment on the 5.7 and definitely a no go on mine, but that makes me feel better that I wasn't just being incompetent under the truck trying to fit it. haha. I'll have to contemplate what I go with from now on, may just...- HTXRamExp

Oil Filter Thread
Went to change my oil tonight and for the life of me could not get the RP 20-500 to slip in to place. Thankfully, I had an SRT filter on hand and substituted with that. There's a slightly raised portion of the steering rack? right below the filter housing location that I just couldn't angle the...- HTXRamExp

Blackstone - used oil analysis
The first was the factory fill. I don’t intend to run such long OCIs, this one was about 2k longer than I had planned on. The only time I would get tick was after the truck sat for ~4 weeks while I was away at work, and even then only the first couple seconds.- HTXRamExp

Wireless 12v Remote - Homelink Buttons
I'm hoping I can get confirmation or education on a project I'm working through. I'm looking to install a gorhino sportbar 2.0 with the power retractable light bar. (Allows the lights to be mounted up or retracted back so they lay flush with the top of the bar via an actuator.) The actuator is...- HTXRamExp

Blackstone - used oil analysis
Yep, still a very young engine, still interesting to see its "break-in", and more data points isn't a bad thing. This is my first new vehicle, so it's been fun/interesting being able to track everything with the truck from the very beginning; not having any period/mileage of unknown...- HTXRamExp

Latest report for my 2019 1500 Classic 5.7l. First report is factory fill, second and third have been Red Line 5w30. Engine has been smooth and quiet. The only tick I've ever had is when the truck sits for a month while I'm away on my work rotation, will get one for ~2sec on that first startup...- HTXRamExp

Same, I ran out of jack. The bubble on my level was just within the lines, figured it was close enough.- HTXRamExp

8hp70 heater bypass
The v6 fan hasn't had any issues keeping temperatures in check while moving/with the a/c on (waiting to receive my unlocked PCM still). One time during my drive I hit stop-n-go traffic and I turned the a/c off to see how quickly temps would rise. They gradually got up to ~215* then I turned the...- HTXRamExp

Oil Filter Thread
For my last oil change (red line 5w-30), I switched from the RP 10-48 to the RP 20-820 filter. Definitely took more patience to maneuver the larger filter in place. Also did some other cooling mods (180* coolant thermostat, AGS delete, V8 stock fans deleted, V6 stock fan installed, trans...- HTXRamExp

8hp70 heater bypass
Well after all my drama of getting the thermostat out initially. I did end up getting caulks piece installed. I didn't feel comfortable with the amount of fluid I lost, so I grabbed a quart from the dealer to top off. Following the fill procedure provided by @Wild one , I was surprised how...- HTXRamExp

I ended up paying $29.89 for the quart. Probably could have bought it cheaper, but I had it in hand same day, and I'm leaving for a Texas - Michigan road trip later today. So convenience easily outweighed a small price savings.- HTXRamExp
