    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

    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.

    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.

    Yeah the cam’s cast iron induction hardening is probably already through the surface and on the verge of seizing up a lifter roller if it hasn’t been through the OEM one already. Unfortunately they didn’t get one with the ZF8 trans as that was the first year option.

    You turned this into a KZreadr car channel where you talk talk talk and speed thru the stuff we want to see. Not even as good as the amateur mechanic channels😢😢

    Why try to make it look like something it isn't? The new bumper looks like shit , this is not an off rod machine !
