good catch, i didn't notice units on my display, will check again when driving, usually it runs around 88-90 which when convering from c to f would be 190-194 f, so the hottest i saw of 112 would convert to 233 f
i am in Canada and every other dang thing is labeled in metric etc.
also my a/c...
wow, i have manual v6 and towed through 104f (40c) heat through mountains in alberta british columbia and hottest temp i saw was 112 (edit, must be celsius as canada truck so 233f) on my oil, coolant always about 10 degrees less, towing about 3000 lb loaded up trailer, 36' sq/ft frontal area...
I have a couple hundred thousand kms on them now, 150k on 2014 ram and it got wrote off so now about 50k on this gladiator. I test drove Jeep Wrangler 2.0 turbo back to back with a pentastar and expected to like the turbo as I did on paper, but the drive experience was 100 in favour of the...
Oh hell if you’ve spent any time behind a 6bt cummins you know about the low rpm pull with grunt from idle to redline not even 3000 rpm. I crave it also but in a land of 11:1 compression ratio high power v6 modern engines the pentastar has power from 2000-5500 with a 6500 rpm redline. One should...
Take off the silly engine cover to free up a little more engine noise. I run stock air intake, no engine cover(only because I hate engine covers...what’s the hood for?) and magnaflow street side exit exhaust but would admit that exhaust will be a bit too racy for many, I love it, sounds like a...
Pentastar was in wards 10 beat engines for 3 years. It’s lightweight, compact and fuel efficient. Definitely a high performance engine and it has a linear power deliver where a lot of v6 don’t...just as the op said, prefers the pentastar to the taco v6 and I completely agree. Try and find a 350...
haha, just use your 'orange' color...er...'pumpkin' to get red...ask me how i know lol ;)
i could care less, just wanted bright so when it hits the ground it's easy to spot, most aren't that relaxed about color though, now we all know how to get red...order pumpkin color haha
not sure why...
You have to set a limit somewhere. Logically for me I want the most aggressive acceleration and power I can get while still pulling an acceptable hwy rpm running empty on top gear. There is all kinds of power at 2500 rpm for empty cruising so I was aiming for that at the fastest I’d likely every...
That’s their version of red or something. Looks like they tried to match the res button but my own fob from them I asked for orange and it came red. So they should have just stuck with black for the loop.
4.56 is the match imo, as you talk weight and 37’s or as you keep going that direction there’s a lean to adding a few more revs for compounding issues around weight and drag as you see the 37’s argument around 4.88 and 5.13 is very common. Heavier builds better to compensate with 5.13.
your...
yes my set up 1st gear almost isn't even needed and i've started out of second by accident a couple times no issues, normally i'm shifting into second not even 10' down the road, it's stout imo (for those not remembering what i have... 6-spd sport s on 37's with 4.88's, lightweight build, no...
flip a coin, i'd probably find the 4.88's a bit aggressive with manual transmission empty and spinning too many rpm on hwy in top gear at 75-80 mph...would like it for towing likely though, i have no reservation about being able to move down to 35's on my set up with the 4.88's
if you have the...
ya the manual isn't for that guy, not sure what expectations were but i'm a year and half and 28,000 miles (45,000 kms) on my manual sport-s lifted on 37's with 4.88's and magnaflow street exhaust with speedawg shift knob and my smiles per mile couldn't be matched by anything else, it's quick...
My ram 1500 pentastar 8-spd had a tow haul mode, I hadn’t even thought of that for these auto’s. Tow haul was very useful and also a must when I towed same trailer I now tow with Jeep 6-spd. You would want to use manual mode and select the gears yourself. You should be able to get that trailer...
Odd question, no drawback. 33’s and 4.10’s will feel closest to 37’s and 4.88’s. 5.13’s with 37’s is more aggressive and will help heavier rigs or those that tow heavier feel strong like stock. Stock max tow with the little tires 31.5” maybe 32” will maybe feel like 5.13 and 37’s. Either will...
100% it helps. It's one of the single best mods one will do for oversized tires period. Empty or trailering or offroading. When you match the axle ratio to the tires all the drivability off the lot comes back. I ran without for awhile and it was ok empty on street but needed 4 lo to reverse bump...
also, both times it happened to me the speed had to come down to very slow before power steering re-engaged...does that sound like a ground issue still? currently my steering box is suspect, it's starting to sound and feel like there's some gravel in it while turning at slow speeds (parking...
This will be a good issue to discover what the cause is. If it happened to me early i likely would have left it with them as well. I'm so tied to mine, if i don't drive it like i stole it...it's fine, have still only made it happen twice and they weren't that far apart, it's been quite some time...
