    AC blowing weak

    Fan sounds like it’s blowing hard. Feels weak. Probably half of what it should be blowing. Do we have a cabin air filter? How do i get to it? Anything else it could be? It’s a work truck so it’s always full of dust.

    5.7 vs 6.4 towing

    He has a 2021 1500 now. He is looking at buying a heavy duty. We are not wanting to buy another half ton. Sorry if you miss understood.

    5.7 vs 6.4 towing

    Yep that’s exactly the need for the upgrade. His truck will do it but handling and stopping suffer. It’s just gonna wear it out too.

    5.7 vs 6.4 towing

    Hes open to 3500 it’s just a matter of finding a deal in this crazy market. I’ve loaded my 2500 down a lot and it’s handled it fine but I guess a 3500 would do better. I used to haul 2000+ Pounds of tools in the back plus pulled my dump trailer. It did squat though.

    5.7 vs 6.4 towing

    So my dad started a hauling business. Has a 6x12 dump trailer he rents out. Will haul gravel, sand, mulch, construction debris. Max probably around 10,000 pounds. Don’t want a diesel due to extra cost right now and extra fuel cost. We found a 2017 with the 5.7. I have a 2016 with the 6.4 and...

    Anyone selling their truck in this crazy market?

    I’m keeping mine for the long haul. It’s almost paid off and then I’m gonna drive it into the ground. I hope to get 250,000 miles out of it.

    What toppers/Caps have can fit (and not look like crap)?

    I have a shelf built down one side to hold all of my nails, caulk and screws, and have built bed drawers on the bottom. If I weren’t so cheap I would’ve bought the decked system and a new camper shell with the built in shelf. I like having it on one side but still being able to access the front...

    Firestone mt2

    Got the truck and it drove like a boat. Major oversteer and pulling my dump trailer home was dangerous. I was ready to try to swap them out when I noticed they filled the rear tires up to 85 psi and the side of the tire says 65 psi max. I lowered the pressure to 60 psi and all is good now. my...

    Firestone mt2

    I’m gonna try different air pressures and see how they do. I think Firestone has a trial period I can switch them but I just don’t know what will be in stock if I don’t like them. They are installing right now.

    What toppers/Caps have can fit (and not look like crap)?

    Mines a work truck so it was definitely function over form but it ended up looking way better than I imagined. Scored off Facebook for $400. Was gonna paint it to match but truck is always filthy so it isn’t as noticeable. When it’s clean you can tell more it’s a shade darker. It’s a leer...

    Violent Downshifts

    It’s a shame most dealers do not have very good techs. They are all part replacers and seems they struggle with any kind of diagnosis. When I had my transmission built an old guy did it who builds every thing that goes through his shop. He has three guys that remove and install and he rebuilds...

    Firestone mt2

    Dang. I was hoping with the siping they added on the new version would be decent in the rain. I know the originals had no siping.

    Firestone mt2

    I’m getting them installed tomorrow so I can give an update. These don’t seem to be very popular tires as I can’t find many reviews good or bad.

    Firestone mt2

    Anyone running these on a heavy duty? What kind of miles do you get out of them? My top three choices of tires are on back order (Cooper at3 xlt,Toyo mt, Mickey Baja boss at) I really need tires before I go on trip for the Fourth of July. I can get these and they are about $300 cheaper than...
