    GM DFM and AFM lifter failure - class action lawsuit

    This needs to hapen ASAP to RAM and the other Stelantis brands that use HEMI engines in their vehicles so that this endless debate over what causes lifter failure and what kind of lube to use to mitigate it ends.

    ZF8 - PPE Pan Install - Gasket Sticks Out in Some Places Next to Screws

    Last Friday I installed the PPE pan on my ZF8 transmission and refilled it with AMSOIL. Shifts are buttery smooth by the way, and I no longer have that 3 to 2 jerk when downshifting while going up a hill (yuck!). I wanted to do 3 drains and fills, and today I am doing my third one. When I...

    Power Stop drilled & slotted rotors and Akebono Pro-ACT or Wagner OEx pads?

    It's that time to do the brake job at around 40K miles, including a brake fluid flush. So, I bought: - 4 x 500ml bottles of Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid (I hope it's enough for a brake flush). I also have 2 quarts of Castrol DOT 4 Brake Fluid (also great) and can get Valvoline Synthetic DOT 3&4...

    Castrol Syntrax 75W-90 Long Life and 75W-140 Limited Slip - Anyone using it?

    I have a 2016 RAM 1500, Big Horn, with the 5.7 HEMI and BW44-44 transfer case.

    My next oil change for my 2016 RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI (no oil cooler)

I have a 2016 RAM 1500 Big Horn with 3.21 rears, and a 5.7 HEMI that doesn't have a factory oil cooler. I live and drive in a hot climate and sometimes I drive even further south. Keep in mind...

    Red Line Synthetic Oil 0W-40 - has anyone tried it in the 5.7 HEMI?

    Currently, I'm running Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 in my 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn with the 5.7 HEMI. I'm using a Purolator BOSS PBL12222 oil filter. The truck runs great and other than the injector tick noise that's characteristic to these engines I don't have any issues with it. I actually listened to the...
