    Highway speed/RPM question

    If I don't buy this truck I'll most likely get a 100 series Land Cruiser...fuel economy stinks for both!

    Highway speed/RPM question

    Thanks for the reply, I had a diesel with 4.10 gears and a G56 that redlined at around 3k and 70ish mph. The tires were smaller and the diesel had a lower redline that the Hemi, I just wanted to confirm the 4.56 wouldn't give a similar result.

    Highway speed/RPM question

    Looking to purchase a 2007 Power Wagon with the G56 manual transmission. IIRC, the G56 doesn't have much of an "overdrive" for 6th gear. How would this truck behave on the interstate with the 4.56 gears? Not so much concerned with fuel mileage as much as being able to keep up with traffic or...

    Switching to 87 octane?

    FWIW, my 2015 has had 87 octane E10 ran in it regularly since 2017. My FIL bought the truck in 2017 with 30k miles ran 87 exclusively. He towed a TT at least once a month for over a year. I bought the truck from my MIL when he passed away last year. I tow my boat alot, as well as other...

    Oil capacity with SRT filter

    ChevySlayer69 - I won't put the whole quart in there, it probably only needs 1/4 to 1/2 quart to be well within the cross-hatched "OK" zone on the dipstick. I get very little oil in my catch can and haven't noticed the truck using any oil but I'd feel better if it were a little higher. I'll...

    Oil capacity with SRT filter

    Thanks Burla. It didn't tick before this change, hopefully it won't after! I really debated going to the RL 5W30 since I haven't experienced any ticks but I tow alot and try to use the best I can to keep my stuff working right. The truck only has 55k on it and I'd like to give it to my son in a...

    Oil capacity with SRT filter

    So it looks like I won't be able to get the Red Line until later in the week. Would topping off with something else be ok or could I just drive it a little low (and by a little, the oil level is at the cross hatch marks on the dipstick) until Friday? Ive checked several places and none can...

    Oil capacity with SRT filter

    I just checked it again and its just a touch low, not much at all. Might get another quart on the way just in case.

    Oil capacity with SRT filter

    I ordered the SRT filter and RL 5-30 for my oil change. I searched here and didn't see (could have missed it though) if the SRT filter increases capacity. I ordered 7 qts and after draining and refilling it looks like the oil level is low. I didn't really let it settle out so it might continue...

    Alfa with OE trailer brake module install?

    Mine took several hours and multiple on/off cycles before everything displayed correctly. If you are confident the settings are right just give it some time and it should straighten out.

    Step removal question

    This is probably what I'll try. The speed nuts and bolts will probably rust. I would just leave the holes but the brackets for the steps left some marks. The holes are pretty rough too. Here is a pic of the overall pinch weld: Here is an up close of the front holes with the bolts threaded in...

    Emblem removal suggestions

    I removed everything except the Ram head on the tailgate with fishing line. Used a 3M eraser wheel for the remaining adhesive. Took about 30 minutes total. My truck is a 2015, bedadged after I got it in 2019. Can't even tell where the badges were after a wash or two.

    Step removal question

    I removed the factory side steps off my truck today (2015 Crew Cab Big Horn). Is there a trim piece or something that can be installed on the pinch mold down there? I removed the speed nuts from the steps and installed the star bolts head out to cover the blank holes bit it looks kinda funny...

    Right door and dash speaker not working. PLEASE HELP

    Thats because the test light doesn't care about what kind of voltage is present. DC current on a speaker would cause the cone to only move one way, they dont work like that, never have. If you don't believe me hook a 9V battery to a speaker, the cone will move in OR out and stay there until you...

    Right door and dash speaker not working. PLEASE HELP

    AC voltage to the speaker is not related to CANBUS...its how speakers have always worked. Checking DC voltage to ground on a speaker is not old school, its wrong. If you hooked a known good speaker up to it and still got nothing my guess is the channels are blown. You'll probably need a new...

    How to Add Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to a Manual Temperature Control Truck

    Thanks Ricks Ram and crash68, I think I'll do the same.

    How to Add Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to a Manual Temperature Control Truck

    What's the best way to mount the humidity sensor? I don't want the sensor just stuck up there looking terrible. I'm guessing the factory cover won't attach unless the windshield glass is swapped (don't really want to do that either). I saw where someone mounted it inside the mirror cover but...

    Parking brake cable questions

    Yeah, this is the first truck I've ever had an issue with. From early spring to early fall my parking brake is used regularly. I use it a little less in the winter since I dont fish as much. I've kept an eye on it since freeing it up and have noticed no change so hopefully it will be ok for a...

    Parking brake cable questions

    Update if anyone is interested: the parking brake mechanism was stuck on the driver's side. I was prepared to tear it all apart but noticed that the lever at the bottom of the drum (where the cable attaches at the wheel) was not fully released. I pried it back and the slack was taken up. I...

    Truck rolling backwards while in park

    I don't think mine has ever rolled like you are saying. I park on incline (facing both up and down) regularly. I think I'd agree with Ratket on what happened.

    Parking brake cable questions

    Sounds like it...maybe I'll have time to tear into it this weekend.

    Parking brake cable questions

    Seems like the sagging parking brake cable is relatively common on these trucks. I've had my truck for a few months now and made a point to check the cable before I bought the truck. I've probably used the parking brake more in the last 4 months that it had been used it's entire life. When I...

    Best setup for towing travel trailer when lowered

    I dont think my truck could negotiate my driveway with a 4/6...it's not super steep, but where it transitions from slope to level is pretty short. I need to get some measurements to see if it would work.
