I'm about the same with only 1 difference. Sometimes I'll get to 195-200 transmission temp while towing.

Everything is easy on the ED lol. The transmission pan/filter and fluid change takes 50% of the time because the crossover pipe for the exhaust is not in the way.

Not so much on the hemi. I imagine to change the pan out they are probably loosening motor mounts and jacking up the motor. I could be wrong though.

Out of curiosity, what is your plan? Are you just going to sand out and treat the rust spots? I would consider something preventative like this myself.

It's an unfortunate and common problem. Mine doesn't look near that bad but it's surprisingly bad for the truck only being 4 years old.

You could have also just bought one of those "Oil Udder's" online for $35 or something like that.

Depends on the truck. Chrome bumpers on a Rebel? Nope. Color match on a Limited? Nope. I think that's why they make so many options. In addition, I think if I had something like a 3500/350 series truck for road towing, I wouldn't mind chrome accents and bumpers. I'm 40. My father has a 2006...

As a lot of people have said, you're probably OK. Whoever did the change didn't clean up after. Where the filter sits, when the old one is removed, it dumps oil all over the steering rack, into a frame cross member, and if the truck has the ORP or is a Rebel it can go into the skid plate. It's...

Tried every which way possible. The keeper won't latch. They are just too small. When it's time to replace the chains I'll go one size bigger.

The rig I am towing isn't even 2000 lbs total. Maybe just barely over 1000'. 13' boat, trailer, and 25hp outboard.

This sounds like something that should be lemon'd. I'd be looking to have the truck replaced with what you wanted, free of charge. Or at the very least go through the entire lemon law process.

I really appreciate it. I must have a slightly different sized hitch. My hooks are almost the same size, maybe a 1/16th" smaller. Which is probably all the difference? Maybe the switch factories and/or the design. Changing out my chain hooks would have required cutting them off, pulling the...

Well, I have basically the same hook. Maybe the one I have is a smaller series. I'll try again when I get home tonight. Would you mind measuring the overall length of that hook? I might just have to buy a bigger one. Really appreciate it.

I agree with this. I personally don't mind going this route but I'd prefer just to get a new hook. Like you said though, those links hold some serious weight.

I just need to find one that fits that isn't absurdly oversized for what I am towing lol

Will they fit through the hitch? Not my favorite way to go about it but I guess it can work.

I think it's normal. I can try the defrost later but on auto mod, once it switches to any sort of heating, it directs heat to the floor. I believe the premise (and I am not being sarcastic), is heat rises. I think with the defrost it doesn't direct all of the air entirely to the windows. It...

Same. Had a JGC, no issues. I really would hate to have to go with pear shaped or standard quick links.

Well, I agree, should be hooked from the bottom up but I can't because the spring keeper won't retain around the hitch. I always cross like you said. Do you have a pic of which hook you are using? This would really help. Like I said, I just can't get the spring clip to engage around the hitch.

I dunno man. I consider myselt a pretty smart person and I cannot seem to get the spring clip/keeper to engage around the hitch. Am I missing something here? It's not about the time, I just can't get the keeper to engage. I really don't even care about buying a new end hook/clip. I just prefer...
