Ok that kind of makes sense, I looked on my OEM Duratrac tires, 3640lbs @ 80psi, 7280 lbs for the rear axle or 14560 lbs for both axle, so basically these tires are overkill for the capacity of my truck, the load capacity sticker (picture in the previous post) of my truck shows the max load for...
Are you sure you have the numbers right? I have never seen a “P” rated 4 ply tire that has a higher payload than a “E” rated 10 ply tire, or course I am talking about the identical size tires to compare.
The usual markings on tires for a 4 ply tire is max air pressure of 45 psi and for a 10 ply...
You’re the exception of everybody by having a 4 mpg difference between the Hemi and the Ecodiesel, I also had the Hemi and for my Ecodiesel Rebel to achieve comparable low mpg was if I was towing a 5,000lbs flatbed trailer.
Makes sense for the glow plugs, I have a BX2370 Kubota tractor that I have to use the glow plugs before starting even in the summer or else it turns a longer time before starting. I also have the 55” front mount snowblower for the winter. Don’t miss my sears tractor.
Good to hear that you like your truck, and it will be fixed, I really like mine too!
Rolled past 64,000km = 40,000 miles yesterday. Still going excellent.
Are you in the northern states? For the glow plugs to go on. Or do the glow plugs always go on for cold engines?
GM’s I6 3L Duramax concerning issue was the internal oil pump belt had to be replaced at 100,000 miles, the belt is located between the engine and transmission. They have now modified that engine raising the HP 10% to 305, the torque up 7% to 495 lb/ft, and the pump belt is to be replaced at...
I don’t know when you bought your 2020 Rebel, but when I bought mine in July of 2020 I received a discount of $2500 for the 3L Diesel engine. I have seen in the past the Cummins option discount, it was was it might come back.
The 2500 Cummins Rebel would definitely surpass the 1500 Ecodiesel...
I have the Ramboxes on my truck so if you in the same situation as me you will be limited on what you can add to the bed of your truck.
I fabricated an aluminum rolling bed for my truck, it locks at 3 position, fully in, even to the tailgate and 24” past the tailgate. It has to lock because if...
I kept all my receipts for the entire trip, I also keep track of both trip meters, trip A is reset after every fill up, I wright the distance travelled on the receipts, trip B is set to zero at the beginning of the trip.
I had forgotten to reset the trailer trip to zero, it keeps track whenever...
I know what you mean about salted roads in the winter, I’m up in northern Ontario, the roads are salted as soon as it snows or calling for freezing rain from November to April.
I also know the pain your going through on deciding what to get as far as rust prevention. I’m on my 10th FCA vehicle...
Sure sounds like tuff stuff! I will have to look into that. I could go see a local roofing company and get/order a couple of pieces for the sides, the top of the cover does not whip with the wind and is not wearing out.
I live In Timmins Ontario 8 hours north of Toronto so the shipping would be...
Thanks for the reply, the tarp does not have to breathe.
Before attempting to fabricate my invention I had tried to add two air dam spoilers for the truck and trailer, one on the front of the trailer going from frame to the ground and the other on the rear of the truck attached to the hitch...
I see that both trailers have similar shapes so the aerodynamics will not change much, but your new trailer appears to be wider, if it is you should have added wind resistance. Your combined weight is 3260 lbs heavier so it should be a little harder to get going from a stop but once your going...
Nice upgrade, did you keep track of the gas mileage difference?
My Rebel has the Goodyear Duratrak tires, they are too aggressive for what I need, the next set of tires will be more of a all terrain tire, I had installed LT 10 ply Goodyear all terrain adventure with kevlar on my previous Ram, a...
I was looking online and there will be a 2500 Rebel with the Cummins diesel in 2023, that is a very nice big truck, but I wouldn’t want to buy that Rebel with all the options that my truck has, it would be over $100,000 in Canada, my Rebel window sticker in 2020 was $80,140. I’m still very happy...
