Enjoying the sun today with a post-ride cup of coffee. Not a bad shot of the bike, the truck, and Old Glory waving in the breeze!

My truck has the factory 22's, and while it rides great on the road, I'm not willing to risk a flat or sidewall tear on the remote gravel/shale roads I run on with the family aboard. So my hope is to find the lightest factory 20. I've always had great luck with OEM wheel quality, so I've been...

Can't seem to find the actual wheel only weight of the Limited 20's. Looks lime the Laramie 20's are 35 lbs. Wondering if the Limited wheels are more or less weight. Anybody know the answer? Looking to put a set of 20's together with LT E rated tires, and trying to keep the weight down as much...

Wonder if it depends on bed length? Mine is 6'4", and at first, tailgate seal didn't quite seal at tailgate. I loosened clamps and cheated whole cover back about 1/4"-3/8", and seal sits nice on gate. Also, mine is not easy to shut with tailgate up, it definitely closes with authority. I...

Hemi does sound good. As I've gotten older, it seems the quieter the better. I've been driving my '01 Cummins lately at work. 313k miles, 4" exhaust, NV5600. It's sure been nice hopping into my new truck at the end of the day!

It was a hard choice. I wanted my wife to get a Yukon Denali Xl, and I would have kept my 3500. But she loves the size of her '18 Traverse High Country. It's only been a week, but so far I'm ok. All of my work trucks are Cummins powered. This vehicle for me became a comfort choice over fuel...

Eco light on mine is on left of center cluster. Pretty sure you have to enable it to 'on' in uconnect settings. Just a telltale for when MDS is active.

Not quite at 500 miles. here's what I know. My Ivory tri-coat paint all matches pretty good. Factory 22's ride pretty decent. First tank of fuel, about 1/2, yielded a hand calc'd 13.8 Second fill, about 1/2 tank, yielded a hand calc'd 15.2 Eco light is on a lot, my driving is mostly rural. Also...

I exchanged a couple emails with Luke at truckalterations.com today, and now I have an X15 on the way. Looking forward to its arrival.

Thoughts and experiences with XL tires on gravel/shale roads? Our family trips take us off the beaten path, and my gut says to stick with E rated tires. I have always had 3500's with good all terrain or hybrid tread, and never had an issue off road. As this will be my first 1500 in 25 years, I'm...

Glad you are back together, and as others have said, and most importantly, you and your wife are ok. That's always my biggest concern, is some accident that will affect my family. We spend lots of time in our vehicles, and lots of road miles doing fun stuff, so safety is top priority. I can...

Maybe not Limited specific, but I read somewhere that 22" wheel equipped trucks have different (larger) unit bearings on the front. Anybody know if this is actually the case? I think it was in a lift thread where I saw that. Anyway, patiently waiting for truck to arrive at dealer. Inbound...

I use Shell Rotella T6 in everything. All of my work trucks, my generators, my BMW GSA... Fantastic oil. Had oil burn issues on my KLR and generators. Switched to T6, no more oil burn. Oil analysis returns are clean and always go longer interval. I however change oil more frequently. Work trucks...

RAM letters on tailgate. Standard for non-US markets? Anything else bedlined, or just lower bumper trim?

i think the 5.7 reference is to the 5'7" bed. I heard that configuration with pano roof was restricted/unavailable.
