    Anyone running without engine cover

    I removed the cover on my 2018 3.6 Pentastar because it made changing the oil filter less of a problem. No issues.

    Climate Change

    The warming climate is a good thing. The aternative is cooling and that would be a real disaster for humanity. Warming oceans create more evaporation and that causes more precipitation, fresh water for crops and all life. Things change, including climate and we humans are not the primary cause...

    Gas additive for diesel engine

    I have a 2000 2500 with the 5.9 Cummins that I bought new. I have 200k on it and I also I have 24 years with this truck. At around 80k I experimented with PowerService Cetane boost and immediately noticed less soot from the tailpipe. Immpossible to quantify it also appeared to increase mpg...

    New Ram, How to disable all the annoying electronics?

    The federal government dictates safety even if we do not want it. The USA has more lawyers than than all other nations combined and this makes all manufacturers work hard to avoid legal issues. That said, I like some of the safety features but would really appreciate a shut off mode untill the...

    Real world difference between 3.21 & 3.55?

    I have 3.55s w/v6 and want the 3.92s. Rebel trucks w/v6 come with 3.92s and report mpg numbers similar to the 3.21/3.55 gears. I must do 70 to get into 8th and do not normally drive that fast.

    Thoughts on Hydrogen power

    The alternative to oil and gas debate has been around for at least five decades. At first it was that we were going to run out of oil by the year 2000 and that not only did not happen just the opposite did as immense oil and gas reserves were discovered. Now it is climate change doom and that is...

    Thoughts on Hydrogen power

    Hydrogen or any of the other current alternatives to oil is decades into the future. By the time it takes to change over to hydrogen or anything else, I believe there will new technologies available that beat them all in cost.

    Thoughts on Hydrogen power

    Do you mean "free" as an element existing by itself in a free state? Then no it does not. Hydrogen is the most abundant matter comprising 3/4 of all matter in the universe. It is also the lightest of all matter. Because of it design it mingles with most matter. About half of all hydrogen (1H) is...

    Hemi being discontinuted

    Natural gas can stop also for many reasons. A large propane tank/generator might be the most reliable.

    Thoughts on Hydrogen power

    Yes, hydrogen makes sense for the future when compared to other possible sources of fossil replacements. Future advances in technology may bypass hydrogen for something better and only time will tell. Meanwhile, we need to double our current level of electrical generation for production...

    Thoughts on Hydrogen power

    There is not any science that proves the burning of fossil fuels is the major reason for the climate heating; it is all theory. Between 1050 and 1200 AD (before humans burned fossil fuels) the climate was warmer than today. Oil makes the most sense for now and we have plenty of time to change...
