    So my son bought an older boat and trailer and has replaced the wiring. It has the flat 4 no brake set up (Jon boat) . new lights and completed wiring kit. The lights and wiring have the "white" ground wire to the trailer frame. Cleaned off paint and ring terminated each to the frame. Only side...

    Help! Can’t decide how to upgrade

    My 2018 6.4 w/3:73 gears gets about 15mpg in mixed daily driving. It tows 8k or so just fine but then mileage falls off a cliff... I run full synthetic top quality oil and do services every 5 k and have not had any issues yet but it only has 40k on it. My two cents you are describing the very...

    New member Stanwood WA, first post

    Welcome! The 2nd gen forum is the right spot. Not as active as the "newer" ones as these rigs are getting on in years. When you say useless what do you mean? What exactly is not working?

    Diesel issues

    Update: replaced the actuator with a Cummins one and a Snap On scanner was able to calibrate it. Been a few hundred miles and good so far. City Diesel was backordered... Thanks

    Diesel issues

    Low cost tires

    I had a set of the same Iron mans on my 2nd gen for the same reasons. Did great for the three years or so I ran them till my son took over driving and replaced the wheel tire combo for something else.

    Help me choose which truck

    I'm in agreement on the deleted truck. No telling what the future holds for mods. I want the "stockest" truck I can get unless I know it well. I love white but for me the "blacked out" look is not my cup of tea. Black and chrome is timeless and will always be in style...

    Ride quality

    2018 2500 6.4 4x4 club cab short bed Tradesman. Equipped with Snow Chief package (kinda weird for VA but whatever) Stone cold stock still using the Trans force 18" tires and 30K miles. Great truck so far but the unloaded ride is pretty jarring on any kind of non highway driving. Dropped air...

    engine swap

    Base engine should be the same. You will need to use your original front engine accessory drive and wiring harness..

    Headlight weird issue

    Update. Clock spring did not fix the lights. Did fix the rotational noise... Pulled the multi function switch and the connector had cracked and the purple /white wire was loose. Made some repairs to the connections and replaced the switch since it was out anyway and all is well
