    What is your tire pressure BF Goodrich all terrain ko2

    Hi Op, I have the 17's and I keep them at 55 empty and 65 loaded. Truck rides good and runs good at those pressures, but like I said I have 17's and E rating. Bfg says don't run them under 50 psi regularly as it will wear hard on the tires, OK for short periods but not for running all the time.

    Which tire

    I have BFG KO2 and they are good riding (8 ply) and grip well in the wet, and grip well off the road. Will replace with the same when time comes. Overall they preform well and are holding up very well.

    What discounts are you seeing on 2018 remaining inventory?

    Hi Op, IF you want a truck then go to a couple of dealers look at some trucks you like then tell that you will give less than you really are willing to give and see who counters with a proposal that you can live with. In any case good luck with your search.

    Hi Op, I put set of E rated BFG ko2's on my 13 and I have no bad things to say about them. They are a bit rougher than the Rugged Terrains I took off but they are way more tire also. Enjoy them.

    Hydrolocked

    Hi yillbs, Why not tell them that you know that submersing the electrics for that truck will cause damage to the connectors and the harnesses and you want them swapped out because you are insured so the truck will be as it was befoe the incident. Tlak to the dealer and ask them if the fuse box...

    Cetane boost

    hI mdnusa, Can't really tell ya on the cetane booster but you live in an area that gets pretty cold you would probably do well from something like powerstroke that prevents gelling and i believe boosts the cetane. I haven't had my 5.9 for the winter yet but I use powerstroke in my oil furnace...

    Hi Jay, We are going to go ahead and do the steering linkage, tierod end update. I already have a Redhead steering box on order. My uncle told me that when the injectors are right on that truck it easily exceeds 18 mpg. That to me is awesome as that truck makes no qualms about going when you...

    Can't decide on a look

    Hi roadshow, It depends on the overall look you want. Do you want classy or nasty? The chrome looks classy on your truck. But the black out will give it a nasty murder-like look. I like the nasty look on a white truck...as is obvious. But I think your truck would look good either way it all...

    New Toy may be coming home

    Hi All, Not much of a diesel guy but it appears that Bumble Beast may be getting a coal burner play mate. Someone has a 2003 Ram 2500 HD Cummins 5.9 that I may be acquiring soon. The truck is not in bad shape but it does need a power steering pump, a right outer tie rod which appears to also be...

    How do you feel about Ram branching off from Dodge?

    Hi All, It was a financial and engineering spin-off. And if you will think back the 2013 1500 was only supposed to be an update, it turned into a redesign that won RAM the 2013 Truck of the Year. Dodge is focused on performance now and they are doing a pretty good job of rattling the Bowtie and...

    How to take the best picture of your truck

    Hi Op, and All A good 2/3 camera is not always a DSLR. There are cameras by Olympus, SAmsung, Sony, and many others that have many features and excellent picture quality. These are direct view, meaning there is no prism mirror in them. They show what you will get directly off the ccd. Look...
