I have actual Falken WildPeaks not the OEM version. I'm not sure what the difference is as the tread is near identical from what I can see, but the OEMs don't carry the snow rating symbol the actual Falkens do. Anyhow, lately we've had a few winter storms come through and alot of blowing and...

I'm just amazed you got a dealer to get back to you via email or phone! Most don't seem to care unless you physically walk through the door, even then its a toss up.

So by noticeable are we talking 1mpg or 2 or better? I know with my truck going from the stock 275/65R18 to 275/65R20 wheels and adding 2.5" of lift knocked me down almost 3-4mpg which I was a bit surprised it was that much. I was able to average 15-16mpg now I'm down to 12-13 on a good day. Its...

Is that hand calculated mpg or going by the in dash computer? I ask because in the past every vehicle I've owned that was tuned (mostly diesels) would show significantly higher MPG on the computer vs what hand calculated was. The new fuel tables always seemed to throw off the computer.

Mine gets hot at the 6 o'clock position after its been on for awhile but the rest is comfy. I do what the others do and turn it off when it gets warm.

Same here. When I ordered my truck the dealer I went through locked in the price and rebates at that time regardless of when the truck shows up. If the MSRP went up they would eat the difference. They also agreed to give me the incentives that were available at the time of order. If the...

I just had my gall bladder removed yesterday so I can identify a little bit. I know its nothing compared to a full knee replacement but any kind of surgery can set you back alot.

I thought of the possible flow and pressure drop but I searched for issues related to it and couldn’t find anything corroborating it. If there is drop in oil pressure it typically would point to 1 of 2 things. Typically pressure and flow are inverse of each other providing the system power...

Mine is at the store because I haven’t bought it yet. :LOL:

So for those complaining about the location of the filter and how it leaks on everything why not put on a relocation kit? Transguard has the 1127 that should work. It’s listed on working on the 2018 5.7l and I don’t believe there was any significant changes to 2019 so it should work. This way...

I haven’t run the Gatorbacks but I have the Duraflaps on my truck. They are correct that it won’t sail and the chrome is just for looks. They offer it in mirror finish, brushed finish, and no stainless at all. The fit and finish is really good and if you order the no drill they’re super simple...

Yes I just ordered the standard one. I’m also halfway across the country from them. They’re in Florida and I’m in Iowa. I just got done with the install and it’s insanely easy. Probably 10 min overall. Biggest problem is getting the two rear pins on the engine cover back into place. I spent...

Put on a Billet Technologies catch can. Should help to keep the intake a bit cleaner. I was somewhat surprised at how much oil residue was in the OEM PCV tube. Definitely one of the easiest installs I’ve done on this truck.

You’d have lost that bet. Ordered mine user the 1 day sale they had and it showed up Monday morning. Going out to the shop in a few min to install it.

I did Duraflaps on mine this weekend. Mine are 14” wide extra long. The coverage with 275 and 285 tires is excellent. I would not have wanted and shorter or narrowe
