    Ordered 35's , now second guessing myself

    I want to go back to stock size highway tires, the loss of pulling power when towing, the drop in fuel economy (I’m a working slub) and the road noise. All combined stock tires were actually what I need on my truck. You do what you want, but I noticed a 30% loss of fuel economy going to 35”...

    Exhaust manifolds backordered and heat shields "Impossible" to get?

    Manifolds should be surfaced instead of replaced. The heat cycles have warped the manifold already. Once trued up the manifolds tend to stay true. The bolts breaking is a2 part issue.

    Will I regret not getting the V8 even if I don’t tow? Debating which truck to get…

    I had the Hemi with the 3.21, now I have the Hemi with the 3.92. I want to go back to the 3.21 gears! Almost the same pulling power, but a whole lot smoother shifts and drivability. As for v-6 vs Hemi, it’sa no brainer. Hemi all the way, unless mileage is a concern. I just filled up my extended...

So when you jump into a new vehicle, crank that stereo up! It sounds REALLY GOOD! It is a sales tactic that was taught at a dealership I...

    I have been in contact with the dealership. For now I’m not going to blast them. My hour meter reads 626 driving hours. Take that and x60= 37,560. That makes it really close to the 40K S is showing On the oil change life time reading. Here in Oregon, I’m able to get $10,000 or 3x the damages...

    Mileage discrepancy.

    The millage shows on the odometer @ 16,955 The truck was local to the state of Oregon, I saw the car fax there were hardly any vehicle notations, it was a one owner truck registered to a corporation. There were no maintenance records. Only registration dates. The carfax build sheet matches the...

    Mileage discrepancy.

    On been truck hunting for a few months. I found a very fully loaded 1500 sport/night. They had it listed as 38K. I was all in because the dealer was giving me more then what I paid for the truck I was trading in. The dealer claimed it only has 16K miles on it. I mentioned that I thought the...
