    De-Badge a TRX? Good or bad idea?

    I personally look at debaged cars and think "that car has been wrecked and they did not put the badges back on". When I worked in the insurance industry most cars without badges were indeed previously wrecked.

    Compromised Gas Mileage with Lift

    Tires are usually the biggest culprit when it comes to fuel econ. Getting everything calibrated to the new tires size will help be more accurate with what the gagues say, but at this point driving style is going to be your best bet.

    Does the 5.7 Hemi burn oil?

    I change mine at 5k with QSUD 5-20. It never budged off of the full line by any amount at all. I have 57k on the truck bought new. With the oiling issues, our trucks have 10k is way over the line IMO.
