What Did You Do With Your TRX (or Other Ram) Today?

[BlackGold6.4]

Ever Sweeeeet .. hope no one gets into an accident looking at your truck while driving

Picked Up The TRX after some customising work graphics and new badges on the side and grill. Tow hooks rear and front painted as well.

Ordered a sun visor with HomeLink and illuminated mirror. I know…..how come a trx didn’t come with that standard - Right?

More satisfying to add it yourself anyway!

Modding the truck definitely gives you something to look forward to and a sense of pride when you finish it.

I had the left springs replace (TSB) under warranty and installed my black lug nuts from Driven Products. Now I need to find time to install my new Reverse Light Kit from Shifts and Grins.

Any pics of the lugnuts? My Gorrillas are holding up fine so far, but it would be nice to have an alternate option.

I had gorillas on my raptor, I like DP because they look OEM.. Now I just have to find the Sand Blast edition part # for the black OEM bead locks rims.

Oil change while it’s still 70 degrees out. Removed Red Line 0w40 & SRT filter and took sample. Installed Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0w40 and Puraltor Boss filter. The Pennzoil is so cheap it’s almost free. $25 a jug at Wally and $25 rebate on two. So I bought 4.

Since I do see some fuel dilution in colder temps (extended warm-ups), I’ll probably do a quick oil-only change in December or January. My rationale is that I can change oil twice with this for less than the SRT Pennzoil costs for one change, and be way better off keeping dilution to a minimum. Also, the Euro looks better on paper than the SRT blend anyway.

Old SRT filter held up great. Really nice looking product.

Nice find on the oil. Good to see that the SRT filter held up. I have 3 more free oil changes left and will get the oil changed next month.

Love your right up @OnTheReel , I personally only use the SRT Pennzoil but have been poking around to what else is out that compares. I saw that Amsoil has a very comparable product but like you say the price. I'm going to go see if that eruo oil is at our small Canadian wally store here in the North. Thanks

My opinion, the SRT oil is nothing special. Strikes me as just another licensing scheme to collect some cash from Pennzoil who then wrings it out of me. Oil analysis shows the SRT with slightly more moly but the Euro actually exceeds it in every other additive. Both meet API SP. And viscosities are identical which would lead me to believe the base oil is the same.

I would say you're detective work is Right On Cue

Did some Dragy runs! Thing was super consistent today. 3.9 twice and 3.91 once.

If anyone’s wondering what an extra 150lbs does to the performance, I ran a 4.10 and 4.17 after filling up the tank. A little more of a difference than expected. IAT was 105-110 and the oil/temp/trans were all 200 for all runs so there was no variation there.

Is this still stock or did you already install the incognito?

Stock minus the S&B. I keep waffling back and forth on the Incognito. I wanna try it, but it would be a major pain if I had an issue and had to revert to stock in the dead of winter. With my luck, who knows.

I don’t blame you….wait till spring. Then you have a good chunk of the year to see if anything goes wrong before winter.
