What did you do to your TRX today?

[RamSRTSoundsBetter]

Tackled Clunk-Gate. Can you do it in a driveway? Yes. But being on a lift will pay dividends when its time to torque them down. Once pulled apart, this thing was bone dry. Applied a generous amount of Liqui-Moly Multipurpose. 200mi and no sign of clunk in very common situations that would cause it.

Followed with a green belt due to the OE one looking a tad rough and Liqui-Moly Fancy oil from Rogue Offroad

 

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

Redline 0W40 oil (9 quarts) and the SRT filter. Truck runs noticeably quieter at idle. Much less mechanical noise.

9 quarts sounds a little high my friend! We always use 7qts and a few 100mls after that

yeah, it may be that the 9th bottle was only partially used. in any event it was a performance shop that did the work and they said everything looked good.

out of curiosity, what is the significance of too much oil? excess pressure in the engine?

I just did my oil change and was barely above 7 quarts.

i miscounted. i gave them 10 quarts and they gave me back 2 with a third partially filled. so they used about 7.5. for some reason i thought i brought 12.

thanks for the education on the consequnces of overfilling.

Good to hear. Can always just pop the hood and double check too. Mercifully they still gave us a dipstick for the engine. Future RHO owners won’t have the same “luxury”.

on the plus side, the Redline 0w40 makes the truck run quiet.

Yep! It’s amazing. Mine sounded like it was full of marbles on the Pennzoil. Especially after 1k miles or so.

yeah mine too, PUP made it sound like a low quality build which it clearly is not, its a very stout platform. not a great OEM choice

 

[Quietpeen]

I hear ya. I had 1.25” Bora spacers but I pretty much decided to go aftermarket so I sold them a few weeks ago. And then these appeared…go figure lol. Might revisit spacers at a later time but frankly I’m tired of wrestling these heavy ass wheel and tires so I’m good for now.

what aftermarket wheels were you considering?

 

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

yeah phew!

on the plus side, the Redline 0w40 makes the truck run quiet.

I was leaning strongly toward Fuel Variants in 20x9. Maybe next time.
