My 2005 Ram 2500 Hemi calls for 89 Octane, as I imagine many other Chrysler vehicles with a 5.7 Hemi do. It runs fine on 87 but I stick with 89 when I’m towing or working the truck hard.

All I know is that the car-gods require when a fuel pump fails the tank must be at least 3/4 full.

On some cars topping it off can cause fuel to get into car’s vapor recovery system, saturating the charcoal canister with fuel. This can lead to a check engine light, or even the engine pulling fuel in through the vacuum lines and running rich.

I see that big screen stuck on the dash and all I can think is that this is the nicest police car or cable-guy van ever.

You need to get out of WI more often....

Dodge did this on the 1990-93 Daytona and 90-95 Chrysler Lebaron’s

I owned a 73 Roadrunner, right after high school. Same body as the the Satellite but with more hood bulge and less chrome trim. Lots of fun with a built 340 fed by a Holley double pumper and a 4spd trans with a pistol grip shifter. It was quick in a straight line, ran mid 13's at the drag strip and was fun to burn…

Just show up in Flint, MI with $500,000 in cash, nothing could go wrong there.

It would be a good car for Archer to drive.

Look how happy these Jeeps are when they get to work hard, I don’t see an angry eye grill in the bunch.

I felt bad when a buddy and his fiance bought a new Civic and bought every extra thing the finance guy tried to sell them. He walked away spending thousands extra on an extended warranty, paint protection, scotchgarded seats, a crappy tablet holder for the back seat and probably a few more things. All the add-ons…

I think you’ve got plenty of leverage when you are ordering the car. We’ve done it a few times, no dealer has what you want on the lot, so there’s nothing holding you to a particular dealer and they know that.

Same here, the LC90 has been more than enough light for my needs.

They are sitting on the lots here in Chicagoland. A coworker picked one up for invoice a few weeks ago.

The nice thing about this is it’s easy to access and check the pressure when you’re doing other maintenance.

Comes down to cost and weight. Say the guards add 2k lbs to the trailer that’s 2k lbs less cargo it can haul. That’s like a 5% hit in cargo capacity which would mean we need 5% more trucks on the road to compensate. Of course that’s making an assumption that all trucks are now loaded to capacity. But it’s easy to…

Leek is my go-to also, have lots of different ones I like for various reasons, but always reach for the Leek it seems.

Yep, after dozens of trips across the state on I-80 I finally got off the beaten path a little and there is much more to see. I-80 in Nebraska is where I learned that my pickup wouldn’t allow you to set the cruise over 85mph.

At this rate I vote NP in Feb 2023

This car has been for sale in the Chicago area forever. I was surprised that the current article is much more sane than the usual “Penny, the talking car” ones it usually has. Torch wrote about it last year.
