    MotorTrend Rebuilds 2011 5.7 w/235K

    If you get a chance, read this article. It’s an engine autopsy. It’s surprising how little wear this engine had. Spoiler Alert! : The reason for engine’s ultimate demise was the cam chain tensioner; which lead to some bone headed wrench damaging the head surface. They re-used the lifters...

    New Tekonsha P2 Experience

    The Tekonsha P2 was delivered yesterday. I took it out of the box. I glanced over the destructions. I'd had watched several YouTube vids previously. The Tekonsha plugged right in. It wedges nicely into the cubby that the factory brake control unit was supposed to be. So installation took about...

    89 in 91 Hemi fever tune

    I apologize if this has been discussed before. I am going to drive 3500 miles. I am on a 91 hemi fever tune. What it hurt anything if I drove very conservatively on 89 octane fuel?

    Reloading/Refreshing the Tune

    Is Reloading/Refreshing the Tune a "Thing"? The reason that I ask is because lately, my 2013 Perf Pac V6 Mustang has felt a little less snappy, and quick. It was still fast, but just not violent, loud, scary like it used to. Uh, maybe 95% of what it should be. The guys at Forza Performance...

    2022 Ram 1500, 2500.....Yawn

    The 2500 doesn't really have much new to boast about. No ZF, nor Allison behind the Cummins. A couple of electronic do-dads that really don't interest me. Maybe 2023 they'll tempt me. The 1500 fared a little better. There is now a cool GT trim. It has a few goodies that I like. The manly...

    How many Rams have you had since 2011?

    Im still on my 11. But I read about guys that have a lot newer trucks than mine, getting an even newer truck. I'm just wondering. I'll bet there are guys on their 3rd new truck since mine was new. Count your spouse's truck also.

    Gladiator at the local dealership

    The new Gladiator looks really good. The one they have is white, with the white hard top and fenders. Pretty sure it's a middle of the road trim level. 4 door, decent size back seat. It's long tho. 18 feet. I have to hand it to them. They didn't mess around. No turbo 4 popper. No 3.21 rear end...

    Motor Trend Truck of the Year

    MT TOTY 19 Ram. A few things that I found interesting: Of the 5 Rams tested, They didn’t even bother with a 3.21 rear end. The V8s, that they tested, all with 3.92 gears, except for the Rebel, got better noticeably better gas mileage than the V6. The V6 was 2 seconds behind in the 0-60...

    Terribly corroded OEM shock nut removal

    The truck is at the shop. They are stumped as to how to remove the shock from the strut assembly. The top nut is so badly corroded, three is nothing to get a hold of. And they fear an explosion of the shock if they use a torch. What do you do in a case like this? I'm going to hold off with my...

    Dyna Beads in my tires......

    I have an '11, with 40K miles. The tires are BFG AT T/A ko's 275/70/18 on XD Crank wheels. These tires just don't ride as nice on the highway as the stock (car) tires they replaced. Nor did I xpect them to. When the BFG's first went on, I was never really satisfied with how they were not...

    Will updating GPS erase Hemi Fever tune?

    My 2011 has never had the gps updated. It is time to get that done. Does anyone know for sure, if having the gps updated at the dealership, will infringe on the Hemi Fever tune.

    Why doesn't the 5.7 Hemi make more HP?

    I just saw that the 2018 Mustsng 5.0 is rumored to hsve 455. The present version makes 435. If they do in fact get 455, that is 91 hp per liter. If the 5.7 Hemi did 91 per liter, that would be 518! So why are we stuck at 395?

    The quickest, bone stock 5.7 Ram?

    8 Speed, 3.92, l assume. Short Bed, Regular Cab. Does the added traction of AWD, trump the lighter weight of the 2WD? Remember, you have run stock tires. What kind of time, are we looking at? 0-60, and 1/4?

    Cannot pair iPhone 7 to 2011 Ram 1500

    I'm sorry if this has been brought up before. I did the "Search". I never have any luck with that...... It's Sunday, so I cant call the dealership. Is it possible to pair my new iPhone to my 2011. My old phone, no problem. Ive gone thru all the normal procedures, with the new 7, including...

    2011 4X4 Brake Dragging Weirdness

    You can see the details of my truck in the sig below. 35,245 miles Had the oil changed at the dealership 3 weeks ago. Drove the truck home, 9 miles. 2 days later i washed it. The truck sat for 17 days. It is, for the most part a garage queen. Today, 20 minutes into a 40 minute drive, i...

    looking for Big 18" Street Tires

    I have an 11, Sport trim level. The tires that i am currently running are 275/70/18 BFG AT/TA KOs. Thats a good all around tire, but I'm thinking about adding a second set of tires for the spring thru fall. I have a Wrangler with 285 Duratracs if I'd need to go off road in that time. So for...

    Ram vs Ram

    I've looked up the Car And Driver write up of Ford F-150, Ram 1500, the Chevy, and the Tundra. In a 0-60, our Dodge got stomped. But the Ram had the dreaded(?) 3.21 rear end, plus Ram Boxes, and probably everything else that could put on it to weigh it down. Even at that the Ram was only 300...

    Realistic 545RFE/4.10 MPG report

    I'm just north of Jasper Indiana, which is in the very southern part of the state. Sunday, I hauled a motorcycle 10 miles north of Indianapolis. Then drove back home. There was a good mix of conditions. I had a little rain, later it cleared up. There were lots of elevation changes vairring from...

    Pinion Nut Recall questions

    I did they search on this to no avail. My 2011 4X4 hasn't had the pinion nut recall performed. The last time it was in for an oil change, they didn't have the part. Must be some really special nut.... I talked to a guy in the service dept yesterday about getting it done. He said it could...

    What if you shifted the 545RFE like a manual?

    For argument sake, let's suppose that you have an 11 4X4 Hemi that you've re geared to 4.10. Then added the Hemi Fever 91, and a CAI. You like to romp on the truck here and there, not racing or going for a good 0-60 time, just playing some. If you used the slap stick, and momentarily got off...

    IF there was a good Manual Trans available in the new trucks...

    Would you buy one? If they put out a truck with a manual transmission that could reliably hold up to 600 horses and lb ft torque, and shifted reasonably quickly; That's the only thing that would make me sell my truck.

    4.11, LSD, and Super Chip confusion

    I have an 11 Hemi 4X4, with the rotten 3.55s, open differential. I've been talking with a very reputable off road shop, that specializes in jeep stuff, but does pick ups also. I'd like to be clear on a few things before I proceed. 4.11s in an 11, front and rear are possible and aren't a...
