I’m thinking about giving the Michelin Defender LTX Platinums a try next go round. Have a decent looking sidewall but maybe some better road manners. My truck sees zero mud. Just rides around our acreage on occasion.

I feel you. My truck is disgusting as well. One daughter in competition cheer and picking up baseball at the end of the month. Older daughter does travel softball. So between practice, lessons, competitions, tournaments and then all my other adult obligations my truck has fell to the way side. I...

I recommend if you're not comfortable doing it see if there's a reputable transmission shop in your area. I bought the blauparts kit myself but couldn't get the drain plug out and knew I'd have a fight with lifting the transmission. So instead of continuing to fight with it I called a local...

The belt driven portion has a bearing that I believe can/will go bad. I'm not sure what else is in there internally. The portion bolted to the top with the black electrical connection on the right is programmed to your truck. If you were to buy a used/new replacement you'd have to get it flashed...

Not saying you're incorrect - I just wouldn't put much stock in your OEM factory tires. They're often not rated the same as the ones you'd have put on by say discount tire. You can find hundreds of accounts of people replacing their factory tires around 25-30k miles.

Yea, I understand that downside - LEDs are just standard on the majority of vehicles now. Feels like backwards progress. I won't comment one way or another past that because I don't wanna jinx myself lol

Well, depending on what year you bought no matter the trim you were getting the etorque system. It's better to figure out the ways of working on the etorque imo. You can replace the mechanical portion of the etorque motor while retaining your truck's etorque electrical "computer" that mounts on...

Looks good. Can't believe they stuck incandescent bulbs in the tail lights Laramie and Rebel for 2025. Moving the blind spot module is an upgrade (looks like it's in the bumper now?).

I took it as the "inferior" in quotations was referring to how the dealer would view it. They're not inferior but since they're not oem they "are".

That's a shame. My factory tri fold has held up well for almost 5 Yrs now. May be because I've got the ramboxes but the only place I get any water intrusion is at the tailgate gap. Usually remedied by just making sure my cargo that needs to be dry is kept closer to the cab.

I had one of these when I worked midnight shift. Worked well. Didn't wanna scrape the windshield after work and my little commuter takes forever to defrost. Easier to just take that thing off and hit the road.

I took it out to play in the snow here in northwest GA. Not a ton but more than we've had in quite some time.

Yea I've noticed the positive camber when my truck is parked and the wheels are turned. I was thinking of getting them to introduce some slight negative camber just to offset the difference.

That's what came across as well when researching this issue. I live on alot of back country roads and have been known to drive....spiritedly.

Nah. ORG plus 1.8" on eibach shocks.
