    New I-6 info...

    You think the 1500 series trucks from Ford, GM, Toyota, and Ram are designed to the needs of the European market? And you believe American companies are slow and deliberate in their assessment of new products compared to the rest of the world? LOL they don’t think beyond the next quarterly...

    E88 gasoline also known as E15, at 70 cents less per gal

    @kurek , yeah just Google search “leaded gasoline effects”.

    New I-6 info...

    Optimize for what? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are always competing goals in the real world. It’s your view (apparently) that a turbo GDI is extreme. Not in my view, having owned a few. It’s hardly a Formula 1 engine. The technology is mainstream and I’ve personally owned and...

    New I-6 info...

    Well, they don’t make them like the slant 6 anymore either. That doesn’t mean I want to ever drive one of those dogs again. They were indestructible because they made about as much power as my lawnmower. ;)

    2009 6.7 Diesel Ignition Key in Start Position for Extended Periods?

    Pretty sure you mean RUN not start. It’s no big deal. The heater grid times out and will not come on until you cycle the key again.

    Jump starter

    Check out Project Farm on YouTube. He tested a bunch of them.

    E88 gasoline also known as E15, at 70 cents less per gal

    I expect the differences between 87/E10, 88/E15, and 89/E10 are so slight as to be imperceptible to most drivers. I’ve run all 3 at various times in the Wagon -and the occasion 91 or 93- and whatever changes in performance exist are overshadowed by other variables like elevation change, traffic...

    Down by the river

    At least you’re not in a van.

    Did you buy any Black Friday deals for your truck?

    I’m steadfastly resisting the impulse to shop for a new truck. ;)

    Howy - Looking for 2025 Ramcharger Info, Stopping by...

    @BossHogg I agree with you on the conversion losses. Most likely the writers have incomplete information or understanding. The state of journalism today is appalling as well. Just yesterday I read an article where contradictory statements were made, in two adjacent paragraphs. Apparently proof...

    Posting pics to Album

    And maybe how to delete them? Perhaps I’m stupid, but I wanted to remove one of mine a while back and couldn’t figure it out.

    Rear Locker Disengage at 30mph in 2wd

    @crash68 I believe you are correct with respect to most HD rams, I understand they dropped the helical design a few years back in favor of clutches. :( The PW in recent years uses the TracRite GTL...

    Rear Locker Disengage at 30mph in 2wd

    I hear you. A Rotopax for a PW is like offering a cocktail weeny to a linebacker.

    Howy - Looking for 2025 Ramcharger Info, Stopping by...

    Some gain in efficiency insofar as the ICE fuel use should result from being able to run at a fixed RPM and load where BSFC is optimal. Rather than variable RPM and torque requirements of matching the load at the wheels. That’s what’s caused the growth of transmission speeds in conventional cars...

    Rear Locker Disengage at 30mph in 2wd

    You do know it has also a helical posi in the rear similar to the TruTrac? I agree with you, I hate the nannies, I wish the factory would stop trying to second guess what we should do. That said, I’ve never experienced any one wheel slipping in the rear of a (modern) PW on sand and such...
