    2014 2500 6.4 what to look for

    Thats quite the expensive one there. Almost 1800 bucks before core return. Honestly know nothing about next gen but it looks like it’s made well. I’m sure it will be a great one regardless and will work.

    2014 2500 6.4 what to look for

    Same color I have on my power wagon. Beautiful color in the sunlight. Has alot of green and blue metallic flake in it. As far as the valvebody goes you are correct that is a weak link in the trans and so is the solenoid shift pack. I have seen the destruction first hand and its not pretty. I...

    Should I buy a Power Wagon with high miles?

    I don’t suggest going over tow rating but can add air bags to help if it’s an issue with sag. It helps a ton with squat and stabilizing everything while towing. Just add cradles for off roading.

    Intermittent antifreeze smell

    It could be a leak coming from the egr coolant lines under the intake manifold. The leak is small and usually won’t see the coolant until you pull the intake itself. I believe it’s a common issue on the 6.4 hemi.

    Good transmission shop in Edmonton ?

    I’d say your capable for sure. I put a sonnax in mine which are reman oem with upgraded components and they have been machined flat to get rid of the warping. I can’t really comment on other brands but I know revmax and ats make them.

    Good transmission shop in Edmonton ?

    Sounds more like the solenoid pack to me. They are a known issue along with the valvebody. I don’t want to tell you to just start throwing parts at it but if it were me I would change the valvebody and solenoid pack together. If you are comfortable doing it then I would definitely do so...

    2017 6.4 HEMI 3500 SLT wont start

    I would check the fuel pump. Should be able to hear it come on when you turn the truck to run. Check and see if you have fuel pressure.

    Synthetic Oil

    The 6.4 is still continuing from what I understand. Just the 5.7 is going away I believe.

    Synthetic Oil

    Don’t think the 5.7 heavy duty’s ever got the mds at all. When the 6.4 was put in the trucks that’s when mds started I believe.

    8HP Swap on 2018 and older PW?

    I agree. Mine is like Jekyll and Hyde. One day it feels great and the next feels terrible. Sometimes it feels very sloppy and can’t figure out what gear it wants to be in. I’ve kind of gotten used to keeping it in 4th so it doesn’t even try to go into overdrive around town or on backroads. It...

    Synthetic Oil

    Yeah I agree. Why mess with something that works but I guess the small amount of hemi’s that use it aren’t important enough to keep the same formula. At least the 5w30 seems to be doing well.

    Synthetic Oil

    I’m not sure if it’s new or old formula but it is what is in my truck now. I’ll have to check a bottle for the date code. I knew almost immediately it was quite a bit more noisy compared to the 5w30. I only tried the 0w30 because of winter but I can’t even say we had cold weather here this year...

    Synthetic Oil

    Same and nope I didn't like it in my 6.4. Its not a knock on amsoil as I still run it in everything else I own including my wife car. Amsoil 0w40 SS just didn't like my 6.4 as far as sound goes or maybe the 6.4 didn't like it. I'm sure it was protecting well but I couldn't handle the ticks and...

    545RFE Problems after Diablo tune

    Doesn't sound like a transmission issue to me. Sounds like programming to the trans is at fault. I would reflash the back to stock if possible and go from there. Im sure a relearn was done to the tcm when trans shop put new one back in but I would be certain they did. But Im betting its a tune...

    Change your rear diff oil if you haven't yet and clean those lockers!

    The differentials on these trucks do not have paper gaskets. They are reusable rubber gaskets. Just want to clarify this in case some one gets confused or reads this like they have paper gaskets. But they do not have the groove for an o-ring like the banks cover which is a great upgrade.

    Change your rear diff oil if you haven't yet and clean those lockers!

    Yep still reusable. Unless you have a tear or its leaking the gasket isn't going to deteriorate. I have had mine off and back on a couple of times without issue.

    Looking to upgrade shocks

    First I’ve heard of fox not liking cold weather. Can you explain what you mean or heard. I have the thuren fox 2.0 shocks on mine and haven’t experienced any issues so far here in Ohio cold weather. All tho this winter hasn’t been that cold we have had a few mid teen temps. No comparison to the...

    7" evic upgrade worth the money?

    I did the upgrade in my 2015 2500 and was much better than the smaller screen. You have more info available and the premium screen is customizable so you can actually add different gauges to the the main screen. It was definitely worth the upgrade and would do it again. Just remember you need to...

    8HP75–LCV Transmission

    Standard equipment. Couldnt imagine a 3500 not having a trans cooler. They are meant for towing or hauling heavy loads.

    Amsoil, Royal Purple, Redline...

    You are correct. Thats my bad as I didnt realize it was for a 2020 model with 8 speed trans. I seen it has 135,000 miles and didnt think twice since it was that new of a model year. But I do know they are much different. Thanks for correcting me.

    Check Engine Light

    He said it was a check engine light and not oil reminder light so had nothing to do with oil change mileage. Why would a 2017 not matter if your just scanning for an engine code? Maybe Im not quite understanding myself what you mean.

    Long crank before start

    I was recently thinking about this very thing. A way to let the engine crank for a couple of seconds before starting when i change the oil. For when you get a bit of chatter until the oil is pumped through the engine. I will try this when I do or like mentioned when it sits for long periods.
