The MAP sensor also determines the air flow rate: "A vehicle's manifold pressure sensor, or manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP), is part of an engine's electronic control system. ... The ECU uses the data to calculate density and determine the engine's air mass flow rate, which helps the...

Changed out the Goodyear tires for BFGoodrich KO2's.

Here is a pic of the red led light active on the isolator while the batteries are connected.

Good Job! I guess Mopar changed the size of the bolts after 2019..

Had to retro fit a battery tray from a 2500. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/installed-dual-battery-with-redarc-isolator.20482/post-290875

They are a little more than some of the China alternatives, but they are the best in the industry and stand behind there products. Another reason I went with REDARC isolator, when the start battery and the auxiliary battery are linked a red led is visible on the isolator. ⚡🏮

If you have a lead acid battery or AGM as your starter battery I would purchase an auxiliary battery that is the same type of battery and cranking amperage to help with the charging profile. Lithium battery manufacturers recommend specialized lithium battery chargers for optimal performance...

Oil change and tire rotation; 75,000 miles on the odometer.

Yeah, You would definitely need to add an aftermarket catch can, along with more frequent oil changes with a good synthetic oil. Probably would need to run an anti-carbon fuel additive specific for GDI engines, such as Royal Purple Max Clean or LiquiMoly DIJectron.

I can't find any article addressing the carbon build up issues associated with GDI. Some manufactures are bringing the fuel to the fire by two separate paths, by fitting their engines with both port (PI) and direct injection (DI). Stellantis only mention high-pressure gasoline direct...

Looking forward to your vids.

Electric vehicle owners continue to report far more problems with their vehicles than owners of conventional cars or hybrids, according to Consumer Reports’ newly released annual car reliability survey...

I'm sure you don't want to pay the 2500 price. But that will be your best move and you will not regret the decision.

When I have switched from ethanol to non-ethanol it usually takes 2-3 tanks before I have noticed a difference. Probably because it takes a while for all of the ethanol to work out of the tank since you don't wait until the tank is empty before the next fill and therefore has residual ethanol...

The EPA article that you linked states that the 1.7% decrease in MPG is for conventional gasoline, you have to deduct another 1.9% if your burning ethanol fuel in your winter blend.
