    Diesel Idling

    What really brought up the topic was where the truck was positioned and where I was fueling the exhaust was going directly at me with the breeze. Just kind of irritating for no reason Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Diesel Idling

    I just love a spirited discussion. I was a mechanic in my past life, so I completely understand how the turbo works and I totally agree that the turbo needs to be cooled down for a couple minutes after it’s been worked hard. Not really sure on the need to idle after normal driving, especially...

    Diesel Idling

    So there I was at one of my local gas stations putting gas in my car and at the pump across from me had a old beat up Chevy 2500 diesel Idling away with nobody inside. Being a Chevy my first thought was the guy was afraid it wouldn’t start again so he left it running. Lol. When the gentleman...

    Fuel Mileage while Towing

    33 foot travel trailer loaded to about 9000 pounds 3 1/2 hour trip in two directions. There was a fair amount of wind both days that I towed and I got 8 to 10.5. 6.4 3:73. About a third of the towing was in southwestern Wisconsin and Iowa where it is a little hilly Sent from my iPad using...

    Those with airbags for load leveling on 1500

    I had the airlift bags on my 2012 1500 and they do make the rear a little stiffer, however, it is still a pretty good ride. I upgraded to a 2500 last fall and have a them for sale on eBay now if interested. They are 2 years old Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Let’s see what you are towing with your 6.4

    33ft Salem. 7500lbs empty. Traded my 1500 last fall for the 2500, wow, what a difference in towing. It’s so much more stable and relaxed going down the road. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Lifter Replacement.

    They’ve been treating me very well no complaints whatsoever Van Horn Plymouth/Chrysler in Plymouth Wisconsin. They have multiple dealerships around the state but the one in Plymouth I believe is their biggest truck center. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lifter Replacement.

    2014 2500 6.4 74000. I went in for a oil leak from the cylinder head and also having the lifter noise after startup. The dealer worked with me to get the lifters looked at. The regional inspector agreed that the lifters were weak but the camshaft was fine. but due to the backorder on lifters...

    I have a 2012 1500 Big Horn crew cab 4x4 5.7 hemi (all stock)

    I was in that same situation. 2012 1500 5.7, air lift 5000 air bags and a WD hitch, my TT is 33ft and weighs 7500 empty and we were careful to not load the trailer with a lot of weight. Let’s just say that it was not pleasant at all to tow. It really felt like the cart was pushing the horse...

    3.92 or sell

    Get the 2500. I had a 2012 1500 5.7 for two summers that I pulled a 33 foot travel trailer 7500 pound empty weight. Even being very judicious in the amount of weight I pulled to stay under the 8500 pound towing capacity As others have mentioned it was not a fun experience. I never Felt really...

    Things to consider when buying CTD

    So let’s say you keep the truck for a very long time like I do, and fortunately I do all of my own maintenance, so this is more a hypothetical problem. Maybe at 250000 the diesel needs a turbocharger. That’s $4,324 on Rock Auto and you still have a motor with 250000 miles on it. Yes I would...

    Air lift or.... what series?

    I had the air lift load lifter 5000 installed on my 2012 1500 and they worked flawlessly. It is completely A bolt in kit the only thing you have to do is pull the bump stops off and drill a small hole wherever you want the air valve to be placed. I suppose you could just zip tied the valves...

    High mileage 2500 drivers, help me decide! Gas v Diesel.

    Just an update to my earlier post. I thought I was totally committed to buying diesel but I have now changed my mind. Part of it came from me just being older now and wanting some more niceties in the truck. And talking it over with my wife about what our future plans were in the realization...
