I have some questions about a 2011, 5.7 Hemi. I need to understand the way the oil pressure, vvt valve and cam phaser work together and if the oil used can change anything in the operation. Also what can go wrong inside a phaser. ‘Thanks Rod

Im going to be towing with a 98 Dodge 1500 Sport. My car trailer is an 18' with a dove tail ramp on back. I would like to get my truck setup to the trailer correct so it drives and handles the best possible when towing my 66 Dart. This is an open, dual axle 7k trailer and it has electric brakes...

Been lookin for a nice truck to pull my car and trailer for almost a year now and like most of everyone else here on the forum I want it at a very good price. Of course most of the trucks I look at have door, wheel well or rocker rust and I dont want a rust bucket. SO the search has been long...
