Re: Airam Power Wire

The explanation I saw that makes sense does not deal with fuel, but with timing. Fueling is constant, except at WOT. The gains from this are supposedly from timing advance. Sent from my safe space If you advance the timing you have to change to premium to compensate, if this is just a resistor that...

Re: Airam Power Wire

i forgot all about air ram. good to see he's still around. if i remember correctly, it did make a difference. its basically tricking the computer into thinking the intake air temperature is cooler then it actually is using a resistor i believe. this makes the computer add more fuel and you get a sm...

Re: Vararam CAI?

That's why I tried it to open up that area. DW, I didn't notice any improvement in mpg or throttle response but it was loud when you got on it. Would get very annoying if hauling and in the gas more than cruise. I really didn't notice any increase in noise but the issue is the thing is a Ram air in...

Re: Vararam CAI?

I had one on my 1500 and i loved it. It really did make a difference in performance but like above the 2500 hood is taller so it probably wouldn't seal. I know I drove through a lot of snow with that truck and never had an issue with snow getting in it and I checked it quite often. The deepest snow ...

Re: 2015 tuner

As long as you go into it not expecting gas mileage gains it was worth it at the $400 price I paid. Now I know I wouldn't spend $1000 to do it but that is just me. It makes a good bit of difference in the everyday drive ability that the truck has, but I mainly did it for the fuel mileage gains I nev...

Re: 2015 tuner

Yes you need a new ecu for anything later than 2014. From what I've read it is a 5 minute job to swap the ecu's and it is pretty much idiot proof. The tuners are super easy to use and Sean (hemifever) can walk you through the whole thing but it isn't hard.

Plug and play aside from wiring the locker. The advantage is no drilling into the housing to run wiring or air lines.

Re: No Feakin SuperChargers!

You have an intake available, long tube headers, tuners, and torque converts available. Pretty much everything but forced induction. The gains on this though are nothing to laugh at, you are looking at at least a 40 hp gain with those.

Re: Thoughts on the '16 after 10k miles.

I've never had wheel hop of any kind. That said, it's pretty easy to improve the suspension on either platform. I've mentioned it before; the 14+ wallow badly because of the rear track bar, you can feel the axle moving side to side in rolling off camber turns. The problem is exaggerated in Power Wa...

Re: About to pull the trigger on a 15 PW, need some advice!

Well, kind of. There isn't a direct correlation between spring rate and towing capacity. Tow rating is more like a summation of all the parts, D rated tires included. Springs, tires, sway bar, etc all go into the towing and carrying capacities. There pretty much is a direct correlation when the onl...
