    Normal coolant, oil, and trans temps.

    I purchased a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Ecodiesel late last year and have been surprised on how much higher it's temps are compared to my Cummins. Trans is 195-200F, oil is 215-230F, and coolant is 205-225F when I am goin 70-75 mph down the highway, unloaded. It has 35x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers...

    What part about your HD that you wish Ram would change or update?

    For me it is the transmission. The 68RFE and Aisin are ancient compared to the competition and the 68RFE will break if you look at it wrong. Never understood why Ram never put a great(not good or adequate) transmission behind the Cummins. They should be spending their new truck or model...

    Cummins 6.7L Gasoline Engine in a Ram?

    Back In February, Cummins unveiled their new fuel-agnostic strategy meaning that various engines in their line-up can be spec'd for different fuel types like natural gas, hydrogen, and yes even gasoline. To clarify, that doesn't mean that one engine can run on all of these fuel sources, but...

    2012 Ram 6.7L Cummins with 1,043,000 miles

    Pretty clean for a million mile truck, and it is still being used as an RV transport hauler. Owner said he doesn't use synthetic oil either, and changes the oil between 10-12k miles which was the interval for that year model. The 2013 and up trucks got bumped up to a 15k mile oil change...

    Things I am surprised the 5th Gen doesn't have....

    I still own my 4th gen and probably will for a long time until they put a better trans in the HD diesels. I did drive a friends 2019 2500 diesel today and there are a few things I am surprised it and all Ram trucks do not have. For one, I am very surprised that they are still using the same...

    6.7L MAP sensor cleaning

    If you own a stock 6.7L CTD(or any turbo diesel) with the EGR system still working, I would add MAP sensor cleaning apart of your routine maintenance. Maybe every oil change or every other oil change depending on your driving style. I used to do it every other oil change back when I still had...

    Exxon Synergy Diesel

    I know most fuel comes from the same terminals(except for my area where Exxon has their own terminal) and the major difference are additives, but this fuel has definitely caused a noticeable difference in my diesel 328d versus other brands. I filled my truck up with it a few weeks ago, but I...

    Well I dun did it.....

    I burnt up my transmission overdrive clutches and it was all my fault. :( Anarchy Diesel just updated my tune so I decided to load it last Thursday since I usually drive my truck to work on Fridays. I generally flash the ECM and go through the all four of the CSP switch positions to make sure...

    How do you turn off MDS?

    Friend of mine with a 6.4L 2500 Tradesman wants to turn off MDS or select when it comes on. We were towing his boat down to Port O'Connor this past weekend and it was definitely noticeable in how the engine sounded in 4 cylinder mode. I told him I did not know, but I know a great group of guys...

    Diesel tuner comparison: Hardway versus Anarchy

    I know there are not too many diesel owners here, but just in case there is one that is looking for a comparison of the two then hopefully this will pop up in their search. In short, unloaded I prefer Hardway. Loaded I prefer Anarchy. Everything that makes the Anarchy worse unloaded makes...

    What a difference °100+ makes!

    I towed my father's 10k RV from Rockport back to SA for him today. I have towed his RV for him before, but usually earlier in the year when it is still °80-°85 out. My truck hardly even breaks a sweat in those temps with the coolant being in the high °190's, the trans in the °170's, and the...

    Digging Into the Timeless Question, “Which Oil is Better?”

    Which oil is the best? How many times has this been argued? Some say Amsoil. Others say Rotella. Without any comparative data, how do you really know? Bro-science? He said, she said? Well, the guys over at Blackstone Labs analysed the data to come to the conclusion that most of...

    Got her stuck good

    After five inches of rain the night before I should have known. Once the truck hit the soupy sand it just sank. I knew I should have used the ATV to go feed the cattle instead.

    89 octane for 2015 6.4L and 5.7L

    Am I reading that right on page 818 of the 2015 Ram owners manual that 89 octane is now recommended for all 5.7L and 6.4L Hemi engines? I wonder what prompted the change.

    How far of is your EVIC fuel mileage?

    My EVIC fuel mileage consistently shows 2 mpg greater than my hand calculations while others say it is dead on. I am just wondering how many are off like mine because I am planning on using this info when I speak to a Ram representative about it. Thanks in advance for your input. ***Mods...
