And Aoedon, you were told it was deleted at purchase so you can't go blame the previous owner and say you didn't know when you do get a DOT inspection on an interstate.

My 2005 was pearlcoat as well. They're the same.

Production Hurricane specs were announced at the New York Auto Show with the 2023 Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L introduction. These may only be the output numbers for the Wags - the other cars and trucks slated to receive them may be different. Standard output Hurricane, standard on all...

My point in asking the question is simply this... would the Hurricane meet your needs and thus present a viable option against the Cummins? Not everyone needs 4 digits of torque, but if the only alternative (6.4) won't do the job, then it's not a choice. No, the HO Hurricane won't match the...

91 is recommended for the standard output (SO) Hurricane. It's required for the HO Hurricane - see Stellantis' own specs here: SO specs: https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/download.do?id=23664&mid=1 HO specs: https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/download.do?id=23662&mid=1

A couple of things... The current 6.4 used in the Ram is also a very high revver: 410 hp @ 5600, 429 lb-ft @ 4000, redline 5800. I don't care what form of fuel you use, 4000 rpm torque peak for a near-medium duty truck is probably too high. So if the HO Hurricane can indeed bring in, say 450...

I agree about octane, Tuesdak. The standard-output engine in a Ram 1500, Jeep Wag/Grand Wag, any of the smaller trucks, or the Charger/Challenger will be just fine, and 87 is "acceptable". The people who would buy the Grand Wag 6.4 won't have an issue paying for premium after dropping 6...

Stellantis finally made it official: the Hurricane 3.0L I-6 twin turbo gassers were announced today. Standard output is expected in the 400 hp/450 lb-ft range - 91+ octane recommended High output is expected in the 500 hp/475 lb-ft range - 91+ octane required They will start off alongside the...

There are some features of MaxCare that start right away, such as free loaners during warranty repairs. Non-powertrain and roadside coverage starts when the original 3/36 expires... that takes care of your electric/electronic components, and mechanicals that are not part of the powertrain (e.g...

Beds are the same from MY2010 to current. If the notes from industry sources are correct and 2023 (or 2024) is just another refresh like 2019, the beds will still be the same. You won't see a new bed until Stellantis does a full redesign of the Ram HD, and right now, that's not expected until...

Gotcha. I vaguely recall that claim about the wiring when trying to swap OEM mirrors.

Your sig mentions you added Boost tow mirrors, so that tells me it may have been "broken", no? :)

https://www.hdrams.com/caught-2023-ram-2500-rebel-crew-cab-4x4/ All the test trucks caught in this article have a mirror design that matches what Ford - and more recently, GM - have had for a while. The Ford and GM mirror designs allow the arm to extend manually or electrically, while the Ram...

Yep - in HD applications, they're simply referred to as "two-pedal" trucks instead of "three-pedal". The Volvo I-Shift, ZF AS-Tronic, and Eaton Cummins UltraShift automated manuals have up to 18 speeds in HD models. Eaton and Cummins formed that 50/50 joint venture to produce automated...

Last set I put in the 2005 were the Advanced Auto Parts store brand AGMs back in June 2019 for $199 each with free installation which they did right there in the parking lot. They had 3 years full replacement and 7 years pro-rate on the warranty. 13 months later, I traded the Ram for the...
