tired of the drone from the muffler? possible solution

[shadowhawk]

Crazy, I know, but I added an AEM dryflow air filter and that drone I had at 1700 rpm doing 80 mph is now gone! Who'd have thunk something so simple could fix something so annoying!

Try it. Let me know your results.

What exhaust was giving you drone? Curious as exhaust and intake are still a couple of my ‘to-do’s’

Magnaflow. I don't have the exact part number. I can get it later if you need that. It was welded in.

Did it look like this?

Stock air box or CAI? My 2500 6.4 4x4 had no drone after K&N CAI went on, but once MagnaFlow was added, had the drone. If I keep it at +/- 2k, it is almost gone. 4.10s in mine.

stock box. The only change was the filter.

Was it only when truck drops down to eco mode? My challenger has a flow master 40 exhaust and I hate the sound it makes when car drops into eco mode.

Been debating exhaust on the ram but knew I would have that problem with it too

My 2500 never sees use in "D". Always use Electronic Range Select (ERS +/-). That way you're always running on all 8 cyl. so MDS never kicks in. I "shift manually" bc I am better at picking shift points than a trans designed for a diesel. Tow/Haul mode makes it even better. I HATE how this trans is constantly downshifting bc its in the wrong gear.

You’re doing 80mph @ 1700rpm - That’s impressive!

its an 8 speed. What are you getting?

 

[DavidN]

To be honest... IDK, but @80 my guess is at least 4K rpm with the 6speed.

That's the beauty of an 8 speed with 3.21 gearing.

Jeeez, I sure hope not. I'm at just over 2k rpm in my 2500 doing 80 and I have 4.10 rears.
