Which upper Control arm?
I did the motofab 2" level on my truck.. Happy with how it all sits but ready to do the upper control arms. So many dang options from RC, ready lift, sky jacker, JBA and so on.. I really don't want to use a RED control arm and also don't want to spend a stupid amount on them if I can get away...- Badlilhemi

Startup clatter a week after first oil change...
Yeah, I agree. Last thing I want to do is jack with warranty but I also want this thing to go 200K miles. Going to add some lube gard to the current oil change just to see if anything changes. I will step up to the 5w20 after that or 5w30.. I always use PUP in all my cars/trucks. I found it...- Badlilhemi

Startup clatter a week after first oil change...
All good! I thought it was crazy my self. The oil is crazy thin. I was thinking of going to at least a 5w20 but seems everyone is all about the 5w30 for best protection. I have read that with Lube Guard and the RP filter is the best setup. Saw this in a a huge oil thread.- Badlilhemi

I was thinking the same but for some reason people swear by 5w30. And yes.. these temps here are not the norm lol. I still have enough oil for one more 0w20 change. I may run that with the RP filter and see how it goes. I am also thinking about a Blackstone test. I have the kit already.- Badlilhemi

Either way he is wrong on what it calls for. Are you saying running 5w-30 will not void my warranty? That is not what I am hearing from Redline and others. Personally I don't think they could prove the 5w30 did any damage. They keep dropping viscosity to keep up with EPA standards per the...- Badlilhemi

Startup clatter a week after first oil change...
Found this in the manual...... " Hemi engines (5.7L) at times can tick right after startup and then quiet down after approximately 30 seconds. This is normal and will not harm the engine. This characteristic can be caused by short drive cycles." LOL wow.... also This..Engine Oil – 3.6L & 5.7L...- Badlilhemi

Startup clatter a week after first oil change...
Maybe overkill but I dont like running break in oil all that long.. Changed it at about 1500 miles or a little over. Went with PUP 0w-20 and a WiX XP filter. Noticed not long after I got clatter on cold starts and the engine just seems louder. Oil pressure is fine. Clatter is only on cold...- Badlilhemi

First oil change on 2023 1500 5.7 Hemi
Did my first oil change at 1500 also as I don't like running break in oil very long. I went to PUP 0w-20 and a WIX XP filter.. now the truck is louder and I have clatter on start up I did not have before.- Badlilhemi

First oil change on 2023 1500 5.7 Hemi
I called and spoke with Redline who basically said they don't have the certification required in the Manual. This they said could be used against me if I had engine failure under warranty. I read 5w-30 is best also but that would also likely cause warranty issues. I heard some were having...- Badlilhemi
