    66 rfe swap?

    Please let me know about that G56 swap. That’s my first choice honestly. Living in Ohio with the hills, and Runnin the north e East allot always towing a standard would be ideal. I’ve wondered about the G56 swap, my main concern is how would u reflash the PCM from a automatic to a standard...

I get pulled for DOT inspections all the time. Level 1s (the most stringent). I got pulled in Maryland 2 days in...

    Maximizing mpg 6.4 hemi

    I guarantee you that’s hurting mine. I had a new radiator and thermostat put in at the dodge house bout 6 months ago and I recently got a scan gauge so I can monitor my **** more closely. And my coolant is always around 180 or so even when towing. I bet they put a 180 or the wrong thermostat in...

    Maximizing mpg 6.4 hemi

    That was 6,500 miles of obviously straight highway towing. I ran from Cleveland, out to Las Vegas, across I-70 and went thru Denver and the “gauntlet” on 70 there where the Eisenhower tunnel is lol. But that was out to Vegas, San Diego, LA, and the return back across 70 to wisconsin, Illinois...

    Imma look into that brother. Thanks for that! The lighter oil is doing great. I’ll have to get on my laptop to upload a oil report from the redline 5-30, but last time I changed my oil my redline shipment got delayed in the mail and I had to head out to Nevada, so I used PUP 5-30 in place of...

    Ahh I gotcha. Then it’s prolly round my way too. I live in the Ohio river. From my front porch ur straring at WV lol. Well I’ll keep that in mind over the next couple months when running numbers and not get too discouraged to see it drop a little.

    Maximizing mpg 6.4 hemi

    Preciate it man. Imma pipeline welder by trade, from 2017 to 2020, the first 3 years of its life it was my rig truck. But as I mentioned, that field is terrible right now. Had to figure out a way to make it work and put that dually to work. This is what she used to look like. Before this I ran a...

    So y’all don’t believe re gearing would be beneficial? Genuinely askin as idk. I’ve done research on here and saw guys saw increased mpg when towing due to holding gears longer and also low end torque. But that’s also mostly weekend camper miles. Not my specific application as well.
