Thanks. Yeah it’s on the truck now. My butt syno says it runs a little smoother. Probably a placebo effect. It’s a much slimmer design. Putting the belt on was super easy

It’ is 2 lbs heavier than stock. So maybe it’s a slight improvement

Yeah. Sooo I just realized it was viscous when I took it off. I feel like I wasted my money.

got a 19 cummins. Is it worth getting a Fluid Damper, since stock is also viscous as well?

DNR diesel tore apart a 25. Lifter dimensions are exactly the same. Manufacturer I don’t know who makes them now. Mine always makes noise after a fresh oil change then goes away, if that helps all. L5p’s are known to do the same in some cases.

just did a Thuren leveling kit. Adjusted drag link for steering alignment. What’s the torque spec to lock drag link down?

Double R Diesel had a legit Dyno run with one. Firepunk proved the 3rd gen version wrong as well. On a dyno no one shows as far as I have seen any productive hp increases. That being said, I have one on my truck with his cold air intake, noticeable difference. Worth the 2k, debatable. It...

There is a guy on this forum who had it figured out pretty well. He was actually one of the first to do the Wagner solid roller conversions ( take the hydraulic out the roller). Essentially he said there were 2 different types of ticks one you should be fine for a long time. The other not so...

Ram told me mine was normal quite a bit. I felt better about my truck after watching those videos of the dmax’s and ford videos. The noise eventually made me paranoid enough to crack the valve cover off. Had a couple pushrod ends wore down. Replaced with performance set. Still makes noise...

Love the setup. No lift ? Specs on tire?

I forgot to mention I did studs on that oil change Some of that arp sauce might make some of the numbers different

I feel the same way. Just put 10w30 in, man it runs so much quieter. Hotshots tends to run a little thinner in my opinion. Probably from the fr3. 5w-40 hotshot compared to a valvoline blue 5w-40. It seems like the hotshot flows faster, at least out the bottle.

Yeah im at like 93k now on the clock. That oil analysis was hotshot pao 5w-40. Im a little concerned with the aluminum. But I guess time will tell.

So got my oil analysis back

I ask because I notice if my truck sits for awhile the engine gets pretty dry, inevitably causing a rough startup. At least till the oil get in the lifters
