    Driver Side Tow Mirror not fully adjusting

    Hey all, I'm having an issue with my D-side Mirror. When I'm adjusting my mirror in either direction it will move and then stop or get stuck, but you can still hear the motor making normal noise. Sometimes I can readjust it a little in a different direction and then it will continue to move...

    285/70 on factory 8 Lug ...?

    Quick question, will a 285/70 R17 tire fit on a factory 8 Lug? I’m in the market for tires and want to move the best of the 4 to my spare. I’m pretty sure the current spare is the original from 2006. Next question, will a 285 fit under the truck? Thanks all!

    Engine Miss, Check Engine

    On our first camping trip the truck had a couple odd issues that it didn’t have last season. #1 Towing on a pretty flat road doing 60’ish at roughly 2700RPM the truck felt like it had a miss. During acceleration and sitting around 65-70 it seemed to run smoother. At first it felt like the...

    Any 2500 owners using RS9000xl Shocks?

    Does anyone have a set on their 2500 that has a setting they found is best for daily driving? I have airbags on the rear so I’m not too concerned with adjusting for towing/ hauling, looking more for improved ride comfort. I’ll be installing a set soon and was just looking for advice on a...

    Steering Stabilizer

    I’m planning on replacing my shocks soon and I was wondering if replacing the factory steering stabilizer would be a good idea. ......? Do the OEM ones have a life cycle same as shocks? I never had one on a truck before.

    What is the Nut size on a ‘06 2500 4wd? I thought it was 44mm, nope. Doing a Google search lead me to a Forum where they said 1 11/16, and a video I found the guy used a 1 3/4. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    U-Connect Volume

Reason I ask: I have the radio volume at 14, if I receive or make a call I have to crank the vol up pretty damn high to hear the all. After hanging up if I don't turn it down fast enough the radio...

    A/C Fan Dies Down

    While A/C is running putting up a window the fan dies down some when the window stops up or down. Also when stepping on the accelerator the fan speeds up. Is this a sign of the Alternator starting to crap out?
