    1000 mile oil change.

    while not break-in oil persay, a few of us have sent our first oil changes to blackstone (search for the thread on here). it came back 5w-20. so the factory fill up IS different than what is recommended in the user manual. i will be updating that thread with all my oil change results so we...

    Dyno Results Thread - Any and All!

    from what i've seen, so far the only weak point is the clutches in the transmission... everything else is holding up. which makes it even more infuriating that this truck wasn't tuned to at least 450hp from the factory.... :mad:

    Tuning for dummies

    that's really good to hear. its always a good thing when companies make sure their customer service is up to par. "rising tide lifts all boats" sort of thing.

    Tuning question

    well the cool thing about a custom tune instead of a canned tune is that its just that... custom. when discussing your goals with Adam, tell him you prioritize daily drivability rather than 0-60 times or 1/4 mi runs.

    Tuning question

    ZFG. In my opinion Adam does the most "well-rounded" work with the truck. The HPTuner devices are also the best on the market right now for ecoboost motors.

    Tuning question

    Frankly, its like what the truck should have been like from the factory to deserve the "ST" badge. shift points fixed, gear hunting fixed, more power. i was somewhat disappointed that at launch this truck wasn't a true horsepower competitor to the SRT Grand Cherokee. It is now better than that...

    H&R Springs & Bora Spacers Installed!

    I did 1.25” at all four corners. But yes, if I were to trim them, that is exactly what I would do. what I DID do that most people will not is run a Grade 8 locknut down the studs instead of the included Bora nuts to prevent the spacers from going anywhere

    H&R Springs & Bora Spacers Installed!

    how often have you had to re-torque and what torque are you setting yours to? Mine havent changed since initial setup but I’m just wondering if I can start waiting until tire rotations to check or if I need to keep looking every 1000 miles or so...

    H&R Springs & Bora Spacers Installed!

    the bora spacers aren’t just a spacer. They have their own built in studs. So the length of the stock stud pass all the way through the spacer and will hit the rim with a 1” spacer. The 1.25” still are thinner than depth of stock studs but the tip of the protruding stud sits inside that...

    More H&R Springs

    @Cdubya is correct. Steeda is the same drop at all four corners, so it retains some rake. H&R "levels" the vehicle and has a larger drop in the rear--theoretically this means that the headlights would be pointed more upwards, which is bad both for oncoming drivers and for your visibility...

    Motor Mount

    man. that sucks. Please keep us posted on if the vehicle is "fixed" or not. The dealership model in this country is so very broken. Its amazing that two buyers after the same vehicle can have such drastically different experiences. My dealer basically gave me Bentley levels of concierge service...

    Yellow fogs?

    there are a couple pics floating around of a black one with lens tint and a white one. looks pretty sharp on both colors. Laminex makes a good film for this purpose. it may seem "played out" but it actually works... so there is that. its a mod that actually serves some safety purpose.

    Full 3" exhaust?

    Did you watch the Engineering Explained video? There is no "conflicting information". Its people who know what they are talking about and idiots.... on turbo-charged vehicles, the bigger the better. Full stop. Go zero piping and just run the turbines straight into the cold night air for all I...

    H&R Springs & Bora Spacers Installed!

    The Bora spacers come with their own lug nuts. You torque the spacer to the hub then torque the rim to the spacer with your Gorilla lug nuts.

    Summer or winter tires to swap with all-seasons?

    A million times this. Swapping only tires for winter and back to the scorpions in spring is all types of stupid. Just get a cheap set of 18s/19s/20s, mount up some blizzaks and call it a day.

    Who plans on adding paint protection film?

    This is 100% wrong. ALWAYS apply ceramic coating AFTER any PPF or wrap. Exactly. The PPF will not adhere properly to ceramic coated paint. You will also need to strip off any waxes used as well. This is correct. It helps my car is white, but it will stay clean for seemingly forever. A quick...
