    New Spark Plugs!

    My truck is a 2011 with hemi. It calls for 30,000 mile plug changes. I changed plugs first time at 58,000 and plugs looked good. Now I have 68,000 miles on plugs and still runs good and just got 20.5 mpg on trip. Does anyone else get this kind of mileage on stock plugs and when do you change them,

    Superchips Flashpaq 3846-s

    I just took the tune out of my 2011 for NJ inspection. I have the flashpak 3842 and run the 87 performance tune. The 87 with 93 octane runs better than the 93 tune, which I got a slight ping on light throttle. Soon as I took it out really noticed a lack of response and loss of power. It has k...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    I use penzoil ultra platinum and lube guard. Is a 10 ounce bottle enough protection for the 7 quart Hemi.

    Just bought a 17 ram 1500 sport with 15k miles, I get it delivered wednesday. Should I replace manifold with headers?

    Have 118,000 on my 2011 hemi and no leaks or broken bolts. have flowmaster exhaust, maybe that helped with the heat.

    Switching to 87 octane?

    Fort Lee is a Sunoco but has 98 and 100 octane gas. Might be cam 2 racing gas with lead or airplane gas, not sure. I called and left a message so should hind out. There is also a station on rt33 in Milltown that has 95 octane. Most non ethanol gas is between 89 and 92 octane that they sell in NY...

    Switching to 87 octane?

    I have bought gas at Stewarts when I go to Lake George. Got 20 mpg towing boat home a few years ago. Saw the one in Fort Lee but think that is avaiation fuel and don't think you can use that with catalatic converter. If it's 92 or 93 octane I will make the trip as I could use it in snowblower...

    Cosco oil

    Anyone out there try Kirkland Synthetic oil. It was tested against Mobil 1 and a few other oils and came out with some pretty good results. It also has 75 of Moly in it. Would this be a good oil to run with a bottle of Biolube or lube guard. I put a lot of miles on truck and at the price of $56...

    Does the 5.7 Hemi burn oil?

    I have a 2011 with the hemi. At 20,000 I started using PUP synthetic 5/20. With conventional oil (Pennzoil) I never used a drop of oil. With my first synthetic change my hemi used almost a quart in 5,000 miles. Never used any oil since then, that was 8 years ago. I now have 112,000 trouble free...

    Before I pull valve covers...

    All stock the truck should shift at 5,600 and if it goes even 100 rpm higher it should hit the rev limiter. It also has a 4,000 rev limit in neutral. When I put exhaust and intake on my 2011 had the truck jacked up and reved it a little and didn't know it even had a 4,000 limit when not in gear...
