      "Chrome delete" except for the wheels. They swapped out to blacked out or color matched so now those wheels stick out like a sore thumb. I hope there's plans for those.

    My 2010 has 217,000 miles and still runs like new. No leaks or blowby. These are good engines if you take care of them. I had mine tuned for headers and deleted cats, pedal delay tuned out along with the MDS turned off, and trans pressure increased on the NAG 5 speed auto. I love the way it runs and shifts

      @sleepychallenger Рік тому +1

      I agree, anything you own will last as long as you take care of it. The dropped valve seats, blown lifters, and broken manifold bolts are all symptoms of lack of maintenance and running your motor too hard. All motors have their +/-'s

      As long as they don't have a lot of idle time, they're reliable. Fleet vehicles (Police, fire) end up having lifter failure which eats the cam.

      So I should check my lifters and cams it's got 150,000km but was old fisherman's vehicle so has 3000hr drive 300hr idle. But can hear it with a random either lifter or injector knocking randomly so not sure it's lifters tho.

    I'm actually happy to see Power Nation moving on to 'newer' vehicles. Unfortunately the 60s,70s, 80s and 90s stuff is just disappearing in fields, garages, and general price point. Much of this newer stuff is still around, aftermarket support and can be had more price affordable.

    Here's a new episode idea. 2017 Ford F150 3.5 ecoboost with bolt-on performance upgrades, tune, and dyno results. Maybe even a difference from 93 to E85 to see what the results are. I just so happened to know someone with a 17' 3.5 Ecoboost 😏

    The 545/65RFE undoubtedly is a power drainer along with having weird gear ratios. Interesting that my tuned 370Z makes over 300 at the wheels but my 2015 65RFE 395HP truck would make less HP and barely more torque than the Z. Yes, this is a different dyno, but the HP/TQ range is similar to other dyno runs for this truck. Definitely some driveline loss. I would have loved to see long tubes, better exhaust, and a tune would do for the hemi. I know a cam swap can yield some decent gains.

    The air intake is a good idea but the aftermarket coils will probably cause a CEL. Dodges really don't take aftermarket electronics too well. The factory coils deliver plenty of spark and are still in good condition if it doesn't have a current misfire.

      My 2010 has 217,000 miles on the original cam and lifters. I had the MDS tuned out of it at 140,000. Just keep the oil changed every 3000 miles and don't let it idle for a long time on a regular basis. The factory oil pump only supplies about 25 psi at idle and starves the lifters for oil. The cam gets oiled from rundown from the lifters because it is too high up in the block to get splash from the crankshaft.
