    2010 uconnect replacement to aftermarket

    The stereo in my 2010 Laramie pisses me off. Twice today it stopped communicating with my iPod that is plugged in through the upper glove box. The stereo itself is updated to the current version. Also of course it cannot stream audio from my iPhone 7. I want to replace it with a decent...

    Re-Introducing my new truck!

    Sadly, I sold my 1500 because my trailer was just too heavy for it. 7.2 mpg and constantly being in 5th gear wasn't cutting it. And now I bought a 2010 2500 Mega Cab Laramie Cummins truck! I would say I got a good deal. After looking at several 07.5-08 trucks, I got this one for the 3rd gen...

    Oil temps

    I notice my oil temp likes to get above 250* when towing my 8000# trailer. Considering a heavier oil weight, and maybe an oil cooler. Anyone else's 5.7 get hot like that while towing? Granted I am at a 5300'-10,000' elevation with many mountain to go over, but I expected it to keep temps more...

    Uneven height left right

    My left front is 1/4" lower than the right. It may have always been that way, but after I did the Bilsteins I really noticed. 1/4" isn't much, but it bothers me. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Was thinking about playing with the eccentrics on the lower control arms to raise it up, but I know...

    Should I trade to a 2011 Cummins?

    Local guy is looking to get out of his 2011 Crew Cab short box auto Cummins truck, and into a half ton. For kicks I sent him a message to see if he wanted mine. He seems somewhat interested, and the trucks are close in value. I, however, am thinking I should have thought about it a little more...

    New tires maybe wheels tomorrow

    Caved and bought a set of 275/65/20 Atturo Trailblade XTs, and American Outlaw Grit wheels. Was going to go with a completely different setup with 18s, but cyber Monday deals let me get 20s for less than the 18s. I'm perplexed though. Should I mount the tires on my crappy Big Horn chrome 20s...

    Wheel style decisions

    Going to poll you guys and see some opinions of these 4 wheels I've narrowed it down to for my truck. Going with 18x9s with 275/70 Nitto Terra Grapplers and Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks. Truck is black, but I don't want all black wheels. Seems like the wheel design gets lost when it's all...

    To flare or not to flare, that 'tis my question

    Going to put front and rear mud flaps (splash guards, whatever) on my '14 1500 to protect the paint from being destroyed this winter by road sand. Right now my rig doesn't have the factory flares. I wanted to add them eventually, but that limits my options on nice fitting molded splash guards...

    Front bumper

    Well I hit a deer today. Haven't even got the license plates for this truck yet, which figures. Small doe, was only going about 30 by the time I hit it. It put a small dent in the steel bumper, and bent the left side to where it's 1/2" out of flush with the drivers side fender. So it looks like...

    Bumper ram air scoop

    Made my own air scoop that ties into the stock air box. 3" plastic drain, brake duct hose and duct scoop. Cut a hole in the plastic bumper filler piece, and mounted the scoop to the backside with a couple screws. Going to clean up the mount eventually with some aluminum or something. The filler...

    V nose ELH?

    Going to be making a 1000 mile trip for our last race of the year in October. My v-nose has a tendency to dance side to side going down the highway, so I'd like to get a hitch setup before then to control it better. I'm not sure however what hitch or components I need to mount the brackets to...

    Gumps '14 CC 1500

    Hand washed it, and hitched up to the trailer to drag it to the track tomorrow. Have to take the buffing wheel to it later for the little scratches an swirls black always has. Took the trailer for a pull empty down the highway to see how it'd go, and was very surprised how well the truck handled...

    First mods

    Have my '14 crew cab big horn 1500, and I want some opinions on best first modification(s). It's my DD, pulls a 8500# trailer, and may occasionally take a trip down the track. I'm torn between a Diablo I2 with hemifever tuning, or Bilstein 5100s to level it out. Was going to do a Vararam intake...

    Airlift 1000s, TLC bags, equalizer hitch

    Was going to buy some Air lift 1000 bags, but was reading the total control bags work better. Anyone have some experience to share on this? I've had the Firestone bags on my diesels, but that's with leaf springs. My trailer is a 28' V nose that weighs 8500# loaded. I pull it a dozen times a year...

    First Hemi

    Howdy everyone. Just bought a '14 Crew Cab 1500 Big horn truck in black to pull my race car trailer, and be my DD. This is my first gas truck since my 1988 W100 318 rig that I had as a teenager. I've owned 6 Cummins powered trucks, several "fast cars" and a couple unmentionables. A little about...
