I think you missed the key word in my post “reasonably.” I’m not blowing the doors off people. But I’m avoiding the right lane due to people that can’t merge. And I’m avoiding the passing lane because I’m not passing. I’m gonna sit in the middle lane keeping up with the traffic there nice and...

Meh. The truck is built for it and barring any inclement weather conditions, reasonably keeping up with the pace of traffic is the safest option IMO. YMMV

Personally I just don’t care. The truck isn’t going to pass a gas station regardless so I just keep on plugging down the highway. I usually have 10 gallons of gas in the bed for the twin Honda generators that I could use in a pinch. It’s a large gas truck. Towing a load. It’s gonna rev and...

My Hemi gets low 8's towing our 5k TT up and down the I-5 corridor at 70-75MPH. Just let her eat.

Sounds like a thermostat that is sluggish to fully open. The 6.4 has a heating element as part of the thermostat. When the PCM detects a high load condition (like accelerating to cruising speed towing) it will activate this heater to quickly/fully open the thermostat providing adequate coolant...

Cracked exhaust manifolds can indeed cause ticking noises especially when the engine is cold. As thermal expansion of the metals progresses the tick usually stops (depending on how bad it is). However I haven't seen many Hemi manifolds actually crack. Most of the time the manifold warps and...

Got the balance beads out and installed traditional wheel weights. Smooth as silk now. Really liking these tires so far.

How do those 37's fit with the 75th wheels? Stock suspension?

LOL after the drive in this morning I'm taking it to a tire store and having them get the beads out hahaha. I don't know if I just don't have enough beads in the tires or what but I really don't want to fart around with it anymore when I know weights will work just fine. The beads are good up...

So I will say I like them so far. It goes without saying that the visual upgrade is immense. I’m used to studded snow tires and thus far these seem potentially quieter than the snows. I’ve recalibrated the tire size using Alfa OBD and while the truck certainly feels “heavier” with these tires...

I agree, except they supposedly have a different rubber compound that should wear better than a soft MT in the summer time. Supposedly….

I will. Plan on using Magnum+ balance beads.

Taking the plunge into 315/70R17 on my Power Wagon. Ordered a set of the HD Terrain T/A KT tires from Tirerack to replace the worn out stock size Goodyear UltraTerrains I have been running. I run a set of studded snows in the winter so I wasn't concerned with winter traction abilities. These...

Dang that sucks. Sorry man. Wish you luck with the next rig though.

Redline is what I use and recommend.
