Engine was designed to run at 195-200.

Here is a great explanation on why using the 15W50 M1 in your engine doers NOT help....From this site: https://540ratblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/motor-oil-wear-test-ranking/ "Here are some comparison numbers from an 830 HP road race engine on the track: . 15W50 oil = 80 psi = 265* oil sump...

It is good to hear you have stuck with the EXCELLENT choice of the M1 0W-40 oil in your engine. When it comes to protection, it is #6 of all available oils. https://540ratblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/motor-oil-wear-test-ranking/ Ronnie has made some great statements in this thread. You just...

Here are some images that will assist in getting the crankcase evacuation set up properly... OEM fresh air into crankcase (keep separate from rest of system) Drivers side valve cover with "metered" nipple for intake vacuum to draw from (or feed into external catch can) Main vacuum draw...

Stock Bilsteins with stock springs work the best. They are dampened to match the high spring rates. Tony's "adjustable" shocks are good if you have changed your springs. Yes, SCT with CUSTOM tunes from Torrie work incredibly well. If you drop in a "canned" tune, you will run "safe rich" (< 11:1...

With a gear / rotor type oil pump, cavitation is a VERY common issue. Even though you applied the red engine assembly lube, there was not enough "suction" to draw from the oil pan pick up tube at the low starting RPM. When we would rebuild high performance motorcycle engines that have the same...

Be sure you drive the RC, there is a world of difference in capability. From weight, rear suspension (RC has OEM slapper bars, anti wheel hop shock and a sway bar) and the wonderful 6 speed Tremec! Unfortunately, alot of these rides have been abused and poorly maintained because all parts down...

LOL..... It's not that I think you're dumb, it's just that so much of what you know isn't true...:D

Like I stated, if you push the truck in the rain, your in for a whole lot of trouble regardless of tire choice. :D

Everything you just stated reinforces my argument. The Pirelli's wear out faster because they are softer. They do not excel in the rain because of silicon content, they have more "rubber" per say. They cost more because of the high level of construction and still keeping weight to a minimum...

True, they are not designed to be a rain tire. If you performance drive the truck in the rain, you are asking for trouble. This clip is the reason the SRT team chose this tire and recommended PSI for the truck....

Ride? Longevity? Cost? I am talking tire "Performance". Tire ratings are not comparative from OEM to OEM. If you want the best PERFORMING tire on this heavy beast, go with the OEM Pirelli. Ultimate traction, cornering grip and STABILITY are the rewards. If your ride sits long enough, you up the...

Any new tire will provide improved grip over the aged tire it is replacing. HOWEVER, the factory fitted Pirelli Scorpion Zero running the recommended 38 PSI will provide the best overall traction, handling, load & speed rating as well as being the LIGHTEST tire available for the truck. The ONLY...

I ran a stock thermostat on my 05' RC, underdrive pulley, 70% de-ionized h2O / 30% dexcool with water wetter. I also kept the grill block off panels for ALL the performance reasons. With Arizona temperatures, I had NO ISSUES with engine cooling. 190-200 degrees was consistent and normal. The...

Yep! My experience exactly. I was considering the micro mist (60 ml/min or smaller jet) just after the K&N at the exit plenum of the filter box. Have the system come in at 3 -3.5 Volts MAP. Allows ample time to evaporate and exchange heat prior to the bend into the intake and move across the IAT...

A Few facts to add to this discussion..... The Factory Cold Air (ambient) feed to the engine DOES WORK. Especially if you keep the grill block off panels that have the "scoop" that forces a slice of high velocity, high volume air into the fender cavity. This is where the air slows down and...

I'd like to call it a "Piston Damage Light" :D ;) Cheers!

Yes, they are compatible. OBDII, you can pic your monitored systems. I utilized engine temp, INTAKE temp and vacuum. It was nice to know anytime my intake temp was over 104* (That is when the ECU pulls timing). I was also logging vacuum for an eventual Water/meth "mist" shot to super cool the...
