Its the brand of tint , not all do that

I have tinted mine twice. I live in North Texas where the summers can hit 110° for weeks at a time, having ceramic IR tint on the windshield in addition to the other windows makes a tremendous difference in cabin temps. My 1st windshield got hit by a rock and cracked about a year after tinting...

There's many threads with this exact problem, your tint shop effed up your BCM getting it wet and they need to pay for the repair, end thread, period

3.55's weren't available with the 5.7, only the ecodiesel and the v6 IIRC

The new hurricane has those issues too?

I had a grundy (same as haggerty) policy on my car. You have to be careful with those policies as theres a crap ton of exclusions in which your vehicle isnt coverd: Driving for pleasure Damaged in a shop Damaged while being towed on a trailer Exceeding 5k miles a year No track coverage of any...

What expensive out of warranty costs are you talking about?

I see 21-22 mpg in the winter @ 71-72 mph In the summer, I see 23-24 mpg at the same mile an hour. I usually will drive 75mph on trips (to not get run over) and get 21-22 on the highway. Mixed city summer average over almost 6k miles. I hand calc'd every tank for about the first 3 years and...

That's almost identical to how I drive my truck. My driving style is to try to have the transmission up shifting at 2000 to 2200 RPM at every shift point up till 5th gear. After that, it shifts around 1500- 1600 rpm through 6th 7th and 8th I believe shifting no later than 2,000 RPM the 2,200...

Read that again, I said nothing of mileage. I spoke to the the way tow haul works. That said, I did get 16 17 miles per gallon driving 65 towing that load staying in 7th gear

Yet you have heavier limiteds and longhorns getting 17/18 and 22/23 mpg. Seems logical to conclude that the drivers style a driving is severely affecting the fuel mileage of these trucks

I've observed the same pulling a U-Haul trailer loaded with 2 tons of stone. For me, tow/ haul delays up shifts unnecessarily too long. Shift should be based on MAP and throttle position, not speed. The only time I use tow haul is when I'm in a braking situation while towing, then I hit the...

Exactly. I have my tires aired up to 38 PSI both front and rear. I also see a drop in miles per gallon and the winner however I attribute this to colder denser air and the ECM needing to add more fuel to stay within the program parameters for AFR. I say this because even on winter gas, the days...

These are for the most part robot assembled trucks with little variance in the programming or mechanicals. The biggest variable is the driver, not the truck; the limited and longhorns are arguably the heaviest of these trucks and I've seen owners repeatedly achieving good numbers and if those 2...

My truck gets worse fuel mileage using cruise control. IMO, its too aggressive in trying to maintain speed going up hills or when you've had to slow down then resume the previous speed. It accelerates like it's in a race after having slowed down, dropping gears and going 50-75% throttle to...

Mine is making a very slight whining noise, my plan was to do the very same as you even though I'm still in warranty (less hassle) and replace the bearings as I know that's all it is. No different than alternator bearings going bad. Thanks for the leg work on finding the bearing, Im thinking...

I disagree, I regularly achieve the claiming MPGs in my truck, its the driver or the drivers driving habits more than anything else. I'd bet that those that think they are driving conservatively really aren't. Im averaging 17-17.5 in mixed driving right now and do this consistently tank after...

That's acid and corrosive, I'd rinse the area with some water and baking soda mix to deactivate the acid when you're done 2 components: Phosphoric Acid Ammonium bifluoride

you can still find a ramp and jump it. Just a good old boys Never meanin' no harm

Move on, it's the cost of playing the game. I have a dealer 5 minutes from me that's trash, I know the better dealer/service center to go to that's 20 min away. Should I have to do that? No but I do because my time is more valuable than arguing with a service center that is dead set on half...
