Thank y'all... I'm enjoying the hell out of it. At this very moment I'm back at the dealer getting my new rear bumper put on and having the truck cleaned and filled with diesel and DEF. it was so late (2300ish) when we left the dealer after signing everything the service guys were gone. I took...
No it didn't... didn't know that was still a thing with the Cummins. The old VP trucks used to get a dead pedal when the APPS sensor was dying. Super frustrating...
Yea, EGR is the real killer. If I could just get rid of that I'd be happpy. I'm all for cleaning up the exhaust as long it doesn't harm the truck. However, remove all the restrictions and let it breathe and you'll save fuel too.
The EPA has pushed it to a tipping point, at what point are we...
Thanks! The dealer I bought it from offers a lifetime warranty program on the powertrain. Id like to try and keep it, but I know what's gonna happen. I'll get the bug right after I level it. lol I'd like to try an emissions tune, if it can run cleaner (I know it can) I'd be all for it.
Justify hell... I don't need a diesel. Just enjoy it. Once you own one, you'll never get it out of your system. I've been 150% against all this dumb emissions stuff since '07, but figured it's time to try it out. I missed having a diesel truck. Period.
I've been a member on CumminsForum for...
Wow, thank all y'all. I miss the growl of the 6.4L and the instant pep. But good lord it's so nice to be back in a Cummins! I miss my old VP trucks, really miss my old 05 dually on 10 lugs. I just can't believe how nice this truck is... I'm flat in love with it.
Took the kids to the lake today...
Well, here she is. My wife's old Mega is gone, Not far, my brother bought it. Lol
I bought that truck for her as a surprise 2.5 years ago when she graduated and got her job. It was her baby.... unfortunately she works in the woodlands and it just got to be too big so I bought her a 4Runner, her...
With winches biggest isnt always best. Those massive 16k+ winches can really put a beating on batteries and alternators. That weight X 2 rating is for things like Jeeps and crawlers. Big trucks don't normally go wheeling. Winches are more utility purpose...
however, just remember some simple...
Just chop the old muffler off and put a magnaglow or something straight through with minimal restrictions. Flows sound good but they don't necessarily flow well.
That being said, I have a single in dual out 40 series on the mega dumped at the axle cus I had it laying in the shop.
No need to...
I run the 295 ridge's on the magacab. They ride very well and are lasting even better about 8k on them and they look new still. They're extremely quiet compared to the STT pros. My brother runs a set of 295's on his Chevy, and he loves them. But if you're not going off-road you're kinda just...
Nitto RidgeGrappler... put a set on the wife's mega, I love them. They ride so much better even aired up to 75ish. Seem to work great off-road. 295's. They get my vote...
Or the toyo at's, they're hard to beat.
I love cooper tires but their prices are getting outta hand. Who do they think they...
My wife just rolled over 41k on the 2015 Mega. No problems other than the rear seat cover kept popping off. Replaced under warranty.
Best truck I've ever owned
^^ yes, but with headers are you paying for looks or performance? I'd bet you a paycheck those $300 headers make within +\- 3 hp of a $2k set of ARH headers.
Headers are headers... don't spend a lot of money on them. You could buy 3 sets of the cheapies and have them coated for less than 1 set...
Sometimes the drag on the engine from shifting can play with the vacuum levels. I've noticed it in my wife's mega occasionally. My little Chevy does the same thing but when braking hard. It will stumble right as you stop.
There is no benefit to a steering stabilizer... it's a bandaid to a problem that shouldn't exist. All they do is wear out your steering box quicker. The more reisistance you put in the steering isn't worth it in my opinion. Just use the factory one or remove it all together. The latter is the...
Danny's stuff is top notch, if you can get it. I think that's he only complaint anyone will have. His parts flat out work... especially his steering box brace.
I tried everything on my mega... ended up just putting on tires that go to 80psi. There is no sure fire way to make it go away. I tried the computer fix with a buddy of mine who can get the key from ram. Within 24 hours the light was back.
I just went from a 35/12.5/20 to 295/60/20.
With a 5 link rear you shouldn't be having any wheel hop issues in soft stuff. Maybe a bit if you were trying to burn the rear tires off on pavement. Aside from any deflection in the crappy rubber bushings Chrysler uses, there should not be any axle wrap.
That's what I said, but he showed up at the shop with beer... who am I to judge?!? Lol
He pulls his camper to some pretty knarly spots from what I hear and wanted to be able to put some bigger, knobbier tires on it.
Besides... one way or the other it looks way better. Lol
