Hello Everybody, I have read this forum for along time, decided to join.
I just bought a new 2012 Ram Express. Already lowered rear end 2" with Ground Force spring/shock kit. Next thing to be installed is the PCV oil catch. Rest of truck will keep as is.
Now...the question. Are the Hemi block's rod/main bearings clearance the same as in the 1500 w/MSD as the 2500/3500 w/o MSD? I always thought oil viscosity was based on rod/main bearing clearance. Yet 1500 w/MSD=5W20...while 2500/3500 w/o MSD=5W30.
With the exception of the MSD system do both HEMI blocks have the same internal clearances, parts etc?
Thanks In Advance
