With the chrome delete I would have painted the door handles and mirrors. Looks like a base model now. Guess the textured black plastic does match the bumpers though

"Chrome delete" except for the wheels. They swapped out to blacked out or color matched so now those wheels stick out like a sore thumb. I hope there's plans for those.
I’ve always been of the mindset that if you’re going to put a toolbox in the bed, you might as well fill that negative space under it with a transfer tank.

I would love to see y'all do a 3rd gen when they FIRST brought the 5.7 hemi back...but a 4x4, build!
About time they work on a truck that normal people have
My 2010 has 217,000 miles and still runs like new. No leaks or blowby. These are good engines if you take care of them. I had mine tuned for headers and deleted cats, pedal delay tuned out along with the MDS turned off, and trans pressure increased on the NAG 5 speed auto. I love the way it runs and shifts

I agree, anything you own will last as long as you take care of it. The dropped valve seats, blown lifters, and broken manifold bolts are all symptoms of lack of maintenance and running your motor too hard. All motors have their +/-'s

MONOCHROMATIC PAINT SCHEMES ARE BACK!!! THEY WERE POPULAR IN THE 80S. I LOVE IT!!!
These motors are insanely reliable. You should have ni issue hittinf 300k. Power wise, long tube, bolt on an intake and exhaust with a tune and your tq will go through the roof.

As long as they don't have a lot of idle time, they're reliable. Fleet vehicles (Police, fire) end up having lifter failure which eats the cam.

I'm actually happy to see Power Nation moving on to 'newer' vehicles. Unfortunately the 60s,70s, 80s and 90s stuff is just disappearing in fields, garages, and general price point. Much of this newer stuff is still around, aftermarket support and can be had more price affordable. Id love to a take on a mini truck with a two door tacoma, or a drag ready v8 chevy Impala from like 08
Eric must be related to a pigeon, just by lookin at his feet when he walks.
Following this for sure. I am in the process of "refreshing" my 6 speed 2014 right now as well. Its only at 106K miles, but I love this truck and want to make it last for awhile. Eventually I would like to turn up the power just a little bit. The thought of an extra 30-40 WHP would be awesome !

I like they way they showed replacing the passenger side spark plugs I have a 2013 and the drivers side is the hard side.
Ever going to do anything with the 3.0 Diesel?
The 4x4 option and the 65RFE are what's eating the power. Convert it to a 2WD 8HP70 and re-dyno. Add 4.10 final and let MDS give you great highway fuel mileage.
The later 5.7s were supposed to make 390hp flywheel, so at least 330whp.
I really thought you would add a shock for the tail gate i got my dad one for his 2010 1500 Laramie he likes it
The 545/65RFE undoubtedly is a power drainer along with having weird gear ratios. Interesting that my tuned 370Z makes over 300 at the wheels but my 2015 65RFE 395HP truck would make less HP and barely more torque than the Z. Yes, this is a different dyno, but the HP/TQ range is similar to other dyno runs for this truck. Definitely some driveline loss. I would have loved to see long tubes, better exhaust, and a tune would do for the hemi. I know a cam swap can yield some decent gains.
finally, a real man's truck!

I predicted around 225hp so I'm happy to be wrong. With that many miles on it it's held up well.
What kind of bumper is that?
Like to see the newer stuff being worked on but even on screen the color of the new fender is way off. Lol
Here's a new episode idea. 2017 Ford F150 3.5 ecoboost with bolt-on performance upgrades, tune, and dyno results. Maybe even a difference from 93 to E85 to see what the results are. I just so happened to know someone with a 17' 3.5 Ecoboost 😏
Very good video.
When is the next episode, what channel does this come on?
The color mismatch on the front fender would drive me nuts.

Not just the fender, the grill doesn't match either. They probably used the factory paint code and didn't take into account the fading that happens in the real world.
The in bed tool box is harder for thieves to spot and fits under a cover.
Stick it back on the dyno to see if gained anything
The bighorn has the pulling gear..

395 is engine horsepower not wheel horsepower. You usually lose over 100 hp through the driveline
If youre gonna chanhe a tailgate, spend 5 bucks on the new clips that hold the rods.

I really Object you guys always pulling the Chrome off most of the vehicles you work on. Just like the truck your working now.
Yeah, I'm old skool, and I'll never understand people replacing chrome with boring bland black. To me, it's a lesson on how to take the class out of a car and make it boring as b a t s h i t...
Save my chrome, please. I have a stock 2009 Nissan Titan, the big one, and I'm about to get lt re-painted. I like all the original chrome, I just don't like the color ofthe paint
Kind of discombobulated video. And I've had mixed result with Rock Auto.
The air intake is a good idea but the aftermarket coils will probably cause a CEL. Dodges really don't take aftermarket electronics too well. The factory coils deliver plenty of spark and are still in good condition if it doesn't have a current misfire.
It’s probably manifold bolts broken like 90% of hemis
"Bighorn...oh the fancy stuff" yeah no bud, the Bighorn is basically a SLT with some nicer options. Nothing really special or high tech.
Better replace that cam and lifters, mine went at 150,000 miles, and that's with changing the oil religiously.
13:17 It should NOT be that easy to lift and carry a bumper.
Using ATF4 instead of 8 speed fluids 😮

Pocket protectors and reversed hats are disrespectful for tv

My 2010 has 217,000 miles on the original cam and lifters. I had the MDS tuned out of it at 140,000. Just keep the oil changed every 3000 miles and don't let it idle for a long time on a regular basis. The factory oil pump only supplies about 25 psi at idle and starves the lifters for oil. The cam gets oiled from rundown from the lifters because it is too high up in the block to get splash from the crankshaft.
That hemi bone stock only makes about 63 more hp to the wheel than my 2018 tacoma 😂😂😂
