Re: FilterMag questions

I have them in diffs also. I also have the industrial duty one on my oil filter. Good stuff. Every time i cut a used oil filter open, at first glance it looks like there is nothing there or not much anyways-----until you take your finger tip & wipe it through. It is a super fine film that turns you...

Re: FilterMag questions

Yep, the trans magnet is designed to be used on outside. Just slapped her on. I can see it would be easy to get too close to say a ring gear if installing the magnet that goes into diff., The trans magnet jumped out of my hand up to the pan and I was at least 1" away from it. I see why they say to h...

Re: FilterMag questions

Oil filter is straightforward like you said. Trans one I would put in the trans. There's already a magnet in there, but since you want a second one it would be best to put it where it is going to work and not get ripped off. Taking off diff covers is straightforward. Don't use a pet at on the diff ...

FilterMag questions/ found loose part in rear diff. 3400 mi.

OK, I may have gone off the deep end already. Disclaimer : Yes, I'm pretty much a noob, untrained, knuckle busting, only changed the oil in previous vehicles non-mechanic. That's got to change. Found all kinds of crap hack jobs done to the last truck at the dealer. And I've fallen victim to the mod ...

WK Slider questions

Haven't seen anyone order the sliders with the diamond plate top, any particular reason other than cost ? For those with them, are they level with the ground or angled up a bit ? Have the mopar steps on now only cause that's the way the truck was when I bought it but I have a feeling the mopar steps...

Re: 2015 pw Where is my front drive shaft grease nipple fitt

Wow. That little sucker is in quite a spot.
Looked at the pics and still took 15 minutes to find it. Mine wasn't as clean as the pic above.

When did you guys try to grease it the first time ? (Have only 2600 mi now)

Re: 6.4 Cylinder Heads, Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know why, with the Hellcat motor and the concept rebel trx, they would supercharge a 6.2L as opposed to supercharging the 6.4 ?

Just a curiosity question, although it does make me wonder if the 6.4 isn't suitable for some reason (like any of the above)

Re: Oil/ Filter choices for 2016 w/ 6.4 ?

I went with amsoil as well. I just had a buddy who has an auto garage get it for me. I think it was up around $90 with the filter and oil, but cant really remember the exact number. I will say that after switching from the factory oil to amsoil, the motor seemed to quiet down, especially on a initi...

Oil/ Filter choices for 2016 w/ 6.4 ?

So while at the stealership, I asked about oil and filter and was told the only oil OK for these 6.4's was the Mopar oil available only at the stealership. Doesn't even sound right. Went to auto part store, and the only oil they said they had said "Euro turbo engines" :wtf: Surely there's an Amsoil ...
