With the OEM steps you can disable them from Uconnect. I do it whenever I find myself in rocks. I’d hope the aftermarket ones have a way to do something similar.

They do up north, I’ve been in Tampa since the beginning of Jan. I think it might drop to freezing on our way through Pensacola in a few days though.

None of that stuff on the beach here in Florida.

You’ll likely be happy with either truck, but if you’re getting a 5th wheel you’ll be much happier with a diesel every time you try to pull in to fuel up. Getting a gas truck with a big trailer into most pumps is a major pain.

Those wires are for snow plow use. They won’t do what you want,

The linbus is a communication circuit connected to the truck’s computer.

Medium sized turbo engines are great for “I need to do truck things occasionally, but mostly I need to drive unloaded back and forth to work, so I can deal with the compromise.” Big NA V8s are good for “I need to drive unloaded back and forth to work occasionally, but mostly I need to do truck...

Can I get a hotter thermostat? I want my Hemi to run at 300.

You have to use synthetic.

I wouldn’t put any weight behind those photos. Ram’s marketing images are always computer generated. Many of them are the same photos from 2019 with new bits pasted in.

The cooling stack on the HD 6.4 is way over engineered. The temperature is definitely not an issue. Towing 13k up mountain passes in the summer at 65 MPH doesn’t change the temperature from what it is unloaded.

You don’t need (and shouldn’t use) “canbus compatible” bulbs, since those really aren’t a thing. It’s just a regular bulb with a resistor on it so the bulb out detection doesn’t flag. What you should do is use AlfaOBD to disable bulb out detection. Also, I hate to ruin your day, but those LED...

As mentioned, these engines are designed to run hotter than old engines were. They can do that because the oil is much better and the manufacturing tolerances are much better. They run hot to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. If you’re really curious about the physics read about...

I’d say it’s pretty unlikely, since they brought the Hemi back to the 1500s this year. The Hemi doesn’t need to be replaced, they just need to fix its few minor issues and maybe give it a slight power bump. The Hurricane would potentially be better suited to people who are daily driving an...

If you understand how to do electrical wiring, then yes, just splice a new end on it.
