    Rough idle with A/C on

    Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I just encountered this issue last Monday after replacing my alternator. The alternator I replaced was a factory alternator, it lasted 12 years and I never had this issue with the idle rpm going up and down when the a/c was on. The only alternator I...

    Idle hunting when A/C is on

    I have a 2011 1500 outdoorsman with the hemi, this last Monday my alternator decided to go out right before we were set to leave town for vacation with my in law’s. So I called around and no one had a brand new alternator, only Re-man’s. So I went with one from autozone since it was the best...

    Piston Damage

    I’m running a custom 91 octane tune from hemifever, he had me send him log info with knock sensor, knock sensor 1 and knock sensor 2. I believe I also sent the lambada stats, the fuel trim stats. I’ve only noticed my knock sensors reading around 1.0 at the highest so far, but I will watch that a...

    UOA Valvoline extended protection 0w-20

    Valvoline doesn’t make a 0w-30 in the extended protection. I have considered trying amsoil signature series 0w-30. But I used the valvoline extended protection 0w-20 again this last oil change. I’m going to run this oil to 6k and send another sample, see how it does. I do think this is a great...

    Radiator cap psi

    I just did a coolant flush on my 2011 ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. I also replaced the thermostat and the radiator cap while I was at it. I noticed the radiator cap I took off was 16 psi and the radiator cap the parts store gave me was 18 psi. So my question is can I run the 18 psi radiator cap...

    UOA Valvoline extended protection 0w-20

    Here is a used oil analysis on my 2011 ram 1500 5.7 hemi. 110k thousand at the start of the sample, 115k thousand when oil was changed. Really impressed with the wear and the amount of moly left in the sample. Tbn is a little low for only 5k miles on the oci, but this truck sees a lot of short...

    Shudder when coming to a stop

    It’s not related to the brakes cause I don’t have to be stepping on the brakes for it to happen. Just the last few seconds of slowing down to a stop I get a little shudder/ vibration that you can feel coming up through the floor and if something is in the cup holder it will vibrate a little bit...
