I use Kirkland brand (Costco) full synthetic, made by Warren, 5W-30. Runs great with it. Smoother and quieter than when I ran the spec'd 5W-20 (mostly Pennzoil Platinum).

Recently got an alignment. 2020 Laramie, see sig. Was told the rear axle can't be aligned, only a thrust value that can be read but can't be adjusted. It was 0.15 deg. I took it back for the front (steering wheel wasn't centered) and while there to look at the rear again. This time it was...

My 2020 Laramie level 1 equipment group had a MSRP of just over $55k.

It has been a while since I posted on here. Just wanted to share a couple things about repairs and maintenance on my 2020 eTorque, about 46k miles. About a month ago I changed the differential fluid to Valvoline Synpower synthetic. It was really easy to do (easier than an oil change (8mm fill...

My next truck will probably be a Chevy. I don't like Ford (had a 2018), and don't want a V6 turbo if a V8 is an option. Then again, if in the new generation of the V8 GM still doesn't make it dual injected and only direct injected, I'll be looking at RAM again and Toyota. Still have 3-4 more...

Did you see the new UPS deal?

Could look at the Rough Country boards, too. Much less expensive.

As to the OP... Differential fluid was not due yet. Takes 5 or 6 quarts at $15 each to do front and rear and is easier than engine oil to change. You did get ripped off there, but it is done so... Brake fluid is more about time than mileage. Not bad to get it done every 3 or 4 years. But...

💯 I am going to order one without etorque. 😉

My Aug 2020 build Laramie was $55,100 MSRP. Last I checked was May, but MSRP on that same build was over $68k. 26% increase in 33 months.

They will be rescinded, just like the appliance regs. Because NCSWIC.

Not nowadays.

Pre covid last year's model BH could be had 30% off around Christmas. So 2019 MY would be 30% off Dec 2019 (similar in prior years, too). Now there are limited discounts and prices have skyrocketed.

Same. 2020 Laramie moderately optioned. Sticker was $55k built Aug 2020 and (last I checked two months ago) would be $68k. Insane. And now they have taken away fender flares. Can get a High Country for that.

I plan to change the rear differential fluid myself this summer with Valvoline synthetic. It is easier than changing the oil. Right now at 33k miles and put on about 1k per month. I don't even think I used 4x4 once last winter, and maybe 3 or 4 times since having the truck (less than 1 hour...
