    Oil Leak 2021 Rebel 35,000 miles

    There are at least 3 Fram filters that fit the 5.7L hemi ... the 10060, the 10575, and the XG2. Only the 10060 is recommended by Fram for the 5.7, but folks who simply want a bit larger filter w/theoretically more filtering material, go for one of the other two. I myself have been using the XG2...

    What engine oil do you use in a 5.7 Hemi (non-eTorque)?

    Hi. Actually a 50/50 mix. Called Redline and got their nod of "nothing bad will happen as a result of mixing". Thanks.

    I Gotta Ask...

    I bought mine simply to have a nice, large, comfortable, and safe way to travel between Wisconsin and Florida - twice per year. I did pick up a ping pong table once and carried it in the truck bed, and once or twice I put a couple of bikes in the back, but that's kind of it for any heavy...

    Synthetic Oil

    I had a similar experience ... if I drove around with MDS disabled (which I initially did because I didn't like the sound), my next start (unless I started again within 12-24 hours) would be pretty noisy. If I left MDS enabled, things got quiet pretty quickly and stayed quiet. Now, I can let...

    Knob dial vs shift on console

    Serious?? Is it the look/aesthetics? Mechanical concerns?? So how does the thought of potential "hemi-tick" (and all the things you'll do to make sure it doesn't happen) make you feel? The shifter is a big, huge nothing, compared to that ... in my opinion. I still decided to buy, and now own...

    Do you use anti seize or impact drill on your lug nuts

    This would be the idiots that unfotunately work at many tire centers - some obviously, not all. They rarely use any tools that aren't powered in some way - because they don't know how to or never had to or just think it's cool to use power tools. I NEVER let a tire center rotate my tires due to...

    Radiator Fan Wiring / Radiator Fan Relay

    Thanks again. I am interested in any best practices regarding installing an oil filter relocation kit. I have read some complaints from some users about leaks. I don’t know if there’s special types of hoses that are better than others or fittings that are better than others or clamps, but if you...

    Radiator Fan Wiring / Radiator Fan Relay

    Yes, especially if I want the fan to turn on when the AC is on. Still thinking about that one ... Thanks for mentioning it though. John

    Radiator Fan Wiring / Radiator Fan Relay

    Hi. Good questions. My plan (emphasize plan) at this point is to use a temperature sensor (mounted perhaps to radiator or to thermostat housing). The temperature sensor has a resistance which goes down as temperature goes up. This resistance value will be used in the pwm circuit using 555...

    Radiator Fan Wiring / Radiator Fan Relay

    Hi. Yes, I have already removed all slats except top, bottom, and middle (ags drive). What pan module. No towing package. Thanks! John

    Radiator Fan Wiring / Radiator Fan Relay

    Wow, very nice. What brand/model of single oil filter relocation is/was that? Another project to add to my list!! With the dual setup are the two filters in parallel or series? I'm not sure that I understand how the increase in PSI occurs. Do you have a theory and if yes, can you explain...

    Radiator Fan Wiring / Radiator Fan Relay

    Interesting ... I might have to do a little experimenting. I'd like to do the oil filter relocation also, even if just to make changing the filter easier and with less of a mess. Thanks for the ideas/thoughts. John

    What engine oil do you use in a 5.7 Hemi (non-eTorque)?

    I've run Redline 5w20 and/or 5w30 in my brand new 2020 5.7 since it had approximately 350 miles on it. Oddly enough, this new vehicle had a slight tick on startup anytime I left it without starting, for more than 48 hours. So I dumped the factory oil, wrestled with the apparently TORQUED on...

    Radiator Fan Wiring / Radiator Fan Relay

    Hi. Thanks. Yes, I've tried a thermostat that opens earlier (192 v 203 stock) ... but ultimately to no avail. It seems that once the thermostat starts to open and mix in that cooler water from the radiator, both masses of water start rising together. So the thermostat is wide open, perhaps a...
