2017 ram 2500 broken manifold bolts

I've got a buddy with a newer Power Wagon. Bad *** truck, but he says he averages about 11 mpg, around town its closer to 8.

I'll stick with my 5.7 for now, although it needs more power in the 3500rpm range. I tow my camper a TON with mine, and it really struggles getting up to highway speeds.

Wow that's crazy low power 5.7.

I have a 2000 Ford E150 with the Triton 5.4 (330 cu.in.) and that vehicle towes like heck, all kinds of weight and different trailers. Pulling through the mountains I just touch the button that locks it out of overdrive and then pull the steeper hills. When things level off its back in overdrive again.

Get like 18 mpg out on the cross country open road traveling by itself loaded with 500 lbs of my goods.

Only thing I have done is Plugs and Coils here last Summer. Running like a million bucks yet.

Have hauled all kinds of mopars and mopar parts from all over the country. Really like that Triton, more power than larger displacement engines.

The 5.7 guys main low power issues could be as simple as over gearing with too large of tire wheel combinations. Or too high of rear axle gearing as there are 2 choices, one for towing and one for cruising.
