    Selling the Power Wagon

    They just looked at it, had me turn it on and took pictures. With Covid they have a no touch policy.

    Selling the Power Wagon

    I may There were 2 cars in front of me and it took about 10-15 minutes for the guy to look at it. There's no pressure, their offer comes back in like 30 minutes but I didn't feel like waiting so they emailed it to me. I would take it somewhere else for a better offer or better yet see what...

    Selling the Power Wagon

    Hi Gamedog, That would be a nice drive and the wife wants to go to Colorado but unfortunately not removing the tires. I think 37's transform the truck from an 8 to a 9.5 which makes it stand out more and will make it more likely to sell. I'm exploring a private sell and already got 4 people...

    Selling the Power Wagon

    That's exactly what I told the wife! I can buy a truck exactly like mine at any time but we've been looking at homes since April of this year....60-70 homes (open homes have been our hobby during this time) and we've only liked 2 or 3 of them (my wife is more picky).

    Selling the Power Wagon

    Ding ding! I'm getting a jumbo loan ($1+mil) and it's gotten more difficult. The down payment and 12 months of reserves are not the problem. Most of my assets are non-liquid and I'm paying taxes on most of those so they are a liability in the bank's eye's. Add to that the self employment...

    Selling the Power Wagon

    Carmax offer was $46K...some of you got very close! Took it to Texas Direct Auto right afterwards and they did better. Their original offer was $50.5K but they went up to $52K after some discussion. I'm taking it to another place today to see what they can do. As for reason for selling not...

    Selling the Power Wagon

    Hey guys, it's been fun but time to say good bye to the PW. This truck is awesome and I get so many compliments but unfortunately looking to sell it. So took the truck to Carmax today...anyone want to guess what the offer was? Truck is a 2019 with 10.3K miles and an MSRP of $67,935. It also...

    Talk me into (or out of) 37's

    haha! I know the feeling. At first I told myself I'll upgrade tires/wheels when I wear out the original tires. Then I told myself bigger tires on stock wheels and before you know it bam!...went all the way! I made the mistake of joining this forum :) I got the wheels and tires on sale so it...

    Talk me into (or out of) 37's

    Thanks Man! 37's completely change the look of the truck....no regrets, I would buy the same setup again. I see so many lifted trucks with big tires in my area but the wheels are too big or shiny and tires stick out so I like the non flashy almost stock look I have. I had a guy recently ask...

    Gotexhaust, Amsoil and Amazon for those items is exactly what I did after doing some price shopping!

    4,000 miles. Lead me astray

    Not sure, there are tables out there that compare the different oils. Looks like you have a new truck so I would go with the recommended oil in the manual. I have 3 more oil changes at the dealer before I go with the redline 5w-40.

    4,000 miles. Lead me astray

    I'm in a warm climate so don't really need the low temperature performance of a 0W and read that the 5W-40 had higher moly content which was good for hemi tick mitigation.

    Accessory power off of battery? ps AMP running boards still suck!

    I installed amp steps recently and ran into this problem where the steps wouldn't clear the pinch weld. I didn't think they would work but did some serious "bouncing" along the entire steps. I'm tipping the scales at 250 and still got my wife out there to help with some weight and momentum...

    Talk me into (or out of) 37's

    My measurement could have been off a little...I have a new spare in the garage and recently measured it at 36.5" (which matches spec value) so I'm more confident in that measurement. I'm still impressed these tires are so quiet but I only have 5K miles on them.

    Talk me into (or out of) 37's

    Yes the BFG seem to run a little smaller and combined with the Katlas is why no trimming was needed. My KM3s measured 36.5x13.25 with 17x8.5" wheel and it went down to about 35.75" when on the truck. Check out all the AEV Prospectors with 37's....they all run 37x12.5 BFGs. I can't imagine...
