They have a test between the new silverado, f-150, and ram. Silverado with overall score of 200 ford 188 and ram 187.

 

Seems the ecoboost is still quicker but silverado is a little better then hemi.

 

1/4 mile times

ford- 14.8@94

Chevy- 15.3 @92

Dodge- 15.6 @88

Imagine what a 5.3 with 3.73 would do. I am very interested in the 6.2.

Cant believe the Hemi lost with all that Hemi hype propelling it

I have test drove a Hemi and its really not that quick. I was not very impressed by it but this was before the 8spd was installed. That ecoboost is stupid fast and i like it but nothing beats a V8 lol.

My 2012 Hemi Ram I traded in ran 14.30's @ 96mph at Maple Grove last fall. That was with the old transmission, RCSB 4x4, 3.55 gears, muffler swap and CAI, 5150lbs with me in it across the scales. I love my '14 Silverado, but the Ram was definitely quicker. They must've had a bed full of lead when they did that test. I've seen Ram's run high 13's with a tune.

If your lucky in a regular cab. Trucks are a turd as a crew cab 4x4.... no surprise they lose in the mags just like they do in real life.

Considering a tune and bolt ons 5.7 Charger that is easy thousand pounds less than even a reg cab truck only runs high 13s generally.... forget it in a tune only truck.

Hemi's are heavy and slow. I've raced just about every pickup, I raced a 6.2 with a Blackbear tune hands down the fastest tune only half ton I've raced. I also raced a livernois tuned Eco-boost that was pretty quick.

 

Either didn't stand a chance but I sandbagged to see what they could do. Both very surprising!

I meant bolt ons like mine had plus a tune. Yes, mine was a regular cab, it was a fun truck. The following times were all backed up with timeslips.

 

13.593 @ 98.40 - 2010 1500 RCSB 2WD 5.7L - N/A - autobred - 11/28/10

13.758 @ 99.82 - 2009 1500 RCSB 2WD 5.7L - N/A - jdstu - 10/17/09

13.814 @ 98.21 - 2011 1500 RCSB 2WD 5.7L- N/A - TylerB - 12/02/12

13.826 @ 98.46 - 2009 1500 RCSB 2WD 5.7L - N/A - v8440 - 10/23/11

13.898 @ 98.51 - 2010 1500 RCSB 4WD 5.7L - N/A - BlackRamHemi - 05/13/11

13.898 @ 95.11 - 2011 1500 CCSB 2WD 5.7L - N/A - TheBlackHemi - 12/07/12

13.903 @ 98.49 - 2009 1500 QCSB 2WD 5.7L - N/A - Adidas_kn - 11/09/10

 

Saw this truck run in person, 2013 no tune, muffler swap, drop in K&N, set of Drag Radials. 13.95 @ 96mph, I'm not bullshitting when talking about these trucks, I owned two of them since I hated the 2003-2013 Chevy's.

BTW, you're right Chargers weigh a 1000lbs less, Charger's with full bolt on's and a tune run better than high 13's, at least up here in the Northeast where I live. I know we have some of the best track's in the country with the best air within 2 hours of my house. Maple Grove, Englishtown, Atco, Cecil County, Numidia, Beaver, Island, MIR.

Weird how the results here differ from Car and Driver. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my Silverado for any of the other trucks.

Everyone does their tests differently. C&D likely only had one person in the truck instead of two and the magazines often use correction factors for temperature, elevation and other stuff so their numbers are standardized so you can accurately compare a car tested here in Michigan can be compared to one tested in Italy.

As a sidenote, that F150 interior and steering wheel is UGLY!! I like the regular Ram interior, but the high end one in this article is hideous, especially the wood on the steering wheel.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
