    Alfaobd electric fan settings

    Does anyone have first hand experience on how these settings make the truck react? Of course it seems like which electric fan in use would influence which settings used.

    Nitto Recon Grapplers

    Finally replaced the beastly Ridge Grapplers that had 3/32 tread left .:) Crazy how much vibration the Ridge grapplers had at their EOL vs the new tire. Love the look of the Recons! They are 3-5lbs lighter than the Ridge. Like driving on clouds!!

    Stock bottom end hemi boost

    I caught this video on youtube and it was impressive to say the least. They didn't use the stock PCM, however they did use a 5.7 stock bottom end to hold 850wtq in a swapped Dakota. Couple takeaways are does the stock PCM drive the ignition system with more voltage vs the megasquirt in the...
