Lowering the truck will induce bump steer. Suspension TRAVEL and alignment is key. If you are going to push the truck over 90 mph, i'd address that.;) I do not have an up close, detailed image of the cab to bed aero seals. However, you can walk up to any 2015 or newer 1500 and see them. Here...

A diffuser "may" work if it is designed in a wind tunnel. Otherwise, it would be for aesthetics. If the SRT team along with the Dodge NASCAR team would have thought a diffuser would have been beneficial, i'm sure they would have incorporated one. However, costs and practicality (spare tire...

Yes GM did some testing. However, they did NOT test our SRT-10. Yes, the two point mount wing may "flutter". That just indicates it is functioning as designed. If the airflow over the cab was non-turbulent, a wing may not be needed. The modern pickup, especially the quad or mega cabs have...

Towing on an RC is limited to the load strength of the u-bolts. With the axle on top, the u-bolts carry all the load. The rear leafs w/ slapper and kicker shock becomes an excellent set up with the addition of poly bushings. COMPLETELY transforms the handling. Minimizes flex and rear steer...

I'd head this advise. Sounds like a Cat that has become dislodged internally. Get underneath and see if you can bang on the cats. If one rattles, the honeycomb platinum substrate has broke loose. This causes a "clog" upon high exhaust flow (more throttle). Happened exactly as you described to...

I obtained my SCT tuner from Torrie at Unleashed. That promoted support from him. Along with my AEM wide-band readouts, data logging and ambient conditions, Torrie was easily able to dial in my tunes. :burnout: Cheers!

The significant difference with a tune in an RC is a custom tune. The "canned" and stock tunes are pig rich. Look at most dyno graphs of an RC or even a QC for that matter and notice how a rich tune (which is safe for the engine and Cats) will nose over after peak torque @ 4,250. As the A/F...

Now sit back y'all and watch the shit show.....;)

So on point!:rock: Here is the deal with "5-1/2speedquadslab" It's not that we think he is dumb, it's just that so much of what he knows isn't true... :D

+3 BBK ZERO Issues.

Rusty, stock exhaust with rusty headers? AND a Volant? Whatever the headers gave the Volant will take away. The rear suspension will wheel hop like crazy. Axle was flipped on top of the already flimsy springs without any axle wrap limiters. Stay away.

Unfortunately, this truck is a typical example of a worn out, abused SRT-10. Its a shame. The chassis condition and Magnablow exhaust are also common. Yeah, the wheel and tire combination is also a step in the wrong direction. I guess that's what you get for 22K :dontknow:

Definitely enjoy this "long winded" contribution to the discussion! ;) Please do not mistake my claim that headers are not a performance gain. If I were to go through the process of installing them, I'd want them to work with a set up similar to yours with heads / head-work and a cam to match...

:rolleyes: The Fact's on headers represent themselves Mr. 5 1/2 speed... Pro's and con's with headers have been well documented here and elsewhere long before you showed up. Competent research shows headers on these engines will provide benefits that "justify the cost" when part of a higher...

Great Feedback:rock: I does show that noise can be a placebo effect. Like a Hardly Ableson, they have a unique way of converting fuel into noise without the side effect of acceleration..:D ;) I had a similar experience, just WITHOUT headers. When I ran my RC 100% stock with ONLY a K&N drop in...

Pre Start Up cockpit view. :D

Awaiting comfortably for a new, proud owner. New Interstate Battery late September and just passed emissions (as always ;). A few extra miles to drop all the OBDII flags after new battery. 40,191 Make a sound offer for a solid, clean, well maintained truck with choice mods.:rock...

Engines do not "spin" bearings. Only if they are improperly installed and the keeper tab is in the wrong position. Most likely, you had an interruption in oil FLOW. You need to do some forensics and address the cause to prevent it from re-occurring in your new engine. Good Luck on your build...

The oil pump in these engines is a gear/rotor type. You would have to have an abrupt mechanical failure of the pumps gear dive to suddenly loose oil pressure enough to hurt the bearings. Dry starts also hurt bearings over time. Even after an oil change with filter, I burp the oiling system by...

I'd love to let her drive the Superbeast. I have told her it would be very easy to learn since you do NOT need any throttle modulation to get it moving in first or second. Just let out the clutch slowly while the engine is idling and it just rolls away with no drama. Luv the Torque of this...
