Mine hangs around 35-40 at idle

MFT is one of my favorite options on my truck next to the Ram Boxes. It is not 100% sealed with the tonneau cover but that is not a problem for the cargo that I often carry.

A year ago I found Shell Rotella Gas Truck 5w-20 full synthetic on sale at Advance Auto with a coupon for $9 per 5qt jug. I drove around to multiple stores and bought all of it I could find. ~25 jugs. After sending in for an analysis I like how its performing at 6000k intervals. Has a good Moly...

Anybody know if the MFT is rated for the same 2000lbs?

My driver side box has a slight warp in it. Tough to notice on an all black truck, but I constantly see it. I am convinced that with payload numbers being so low on the fully loaded trim packages, FCA decided they needed to cut material and weight everywhere possible. The ramboxes seem to be one...

This was very obvious to me when I first got the truck. Honestly thought I was sliding the first time I saw them move. Now I am used to it, but it is obvious if you are turning with lights shining into the trees or against a building.

I used copper permatex as well, with the redesigned clamp and some home made "gasket" in there I got that sucker tight. No leaks.

I watched prices on new '20 Limited trim trucks from April - August this year. For me it ended up being more about FINDING the truck I wanted in stock over getting the best possible deal. Stock was low and I think it remains that way at this point. I pulled the trigger on the exact truck I...

Higher idle definitely HELPS prevent wet-stacking. That is pretty much undisputed across nearly all diesel engines. A manual elevated idle option is or has been a standard feature on many trucks for this exact reason. Often times increased oil pressure alone makes a big difference in wear over a...

'08 2500 Silverado LMM Duramax EFI Live + lots of mods. Drove it 260k miles and towed all around the country. Awesome engine and transmission inside of an absolute terribly built truck. Loved it for towing and 1000ft lbs of torque was fun. Hated just about everything else about it. Owned 3 GM...

Ahh ok, makes sense. I have looped the strap on itself before and ended up having to cut the strap because it pulled so tight. I guess I should have a couple shackles on hand just in case. They are probably much easier to use when its 10 degrees and everything is covered in ice and snow too.

I am not aware of the obvious here, so forgive me. What would be the problem with hooking a strap with a hook into the recovery loop?

If both the front and both the rear are all at the same height, by definition I would call that "level";)

It took about a month from filling out the form to receiving my check in the mail. Easiest $250 I have ever made.

I had a set on my previous truck, 2500 Silverado Duramax. Good tire, not too loud until they were down to about 50% tread. got 40,000 miles out of them. Rode very firm though. Handled snow covered logging trails and loose terrain pretty well.
