    Congrats!

    Am I crazy?

    True the gen 3s are better but man they still don’t have a great track record and repairs and even routine maintenance are so much higher on ecodiesels (and limiteds since they have so much extra tech). If im being honest theres not a great way to “justify” the upgrade. It just comes down to how...

    Am I crazy?

    Dang that’s a good deal! Here’s how I’d look at it from a long term perspective. With all the taxes and fees let’s say the new truck is right around 60k. If you get 30k for your truck (assuming it’s paid off) then you’re essentially getting the new limited ecodiesel for 30k more than your...

    Exhaust whistle when accelerating?

    Yeah as soon as he mentioned it a lightbulb went on in my head lol makes perfect sense honestly. Definitely annoying but I’m happy that I feel satisfied with the answer instead of feeling like I need to chase it down. The whistle/hiss is way quieter after getting the manifolds repaired so it’s...

    Exhaust whistle when accelerating?

    I spoke with my mechanic tonight and he brought up a good point - since I can’t find a single thing wrong with the exhaust or intake system, we think that the heads are probably warped a tiny bit so even though it’s got a new gasket and manifolds, there’s probably still a small gap for air to...

    Tried this today. No change unfortunately

    Exhaust whistle when accelerating?

    I’ll try it today! Seems unlikely because I feel like I’d hear the whistle at the air box, not from what sounds like the exhaust pipe, but I’ll give it a shot!

    Post your Crew Cab 6’4 bed. (Official Longbed Thread)

    Danggg man already 149k miles? Thats awesome it’s been reliable haha. If I keep mine til that many miles I hope it stays reliable like that for me! Good to see your truck - yours was single-handedly the inspiration for my original lift and wheels/tires. Now here we are 5 years later I’ve got...

    Exhaust whistle when accelerating?

    I wouldn’t hate it if I knew it was from a CAI haha but since I can’t figure out where it’s coming from it bugs me! I have a stock intake, stock filter. With the windows up it’s hardly noticeable, but roll the windows down and you hear it. And therefore I know people outside can hear it and it’s...

    Exhaust whistle when accelerating?

    No I don’t have a CAI, not even an aftermarket filter. I replaced the original filter with another OEM one 🫤

    Exhaust whistle when accelerating?

    Hey guys, so for a long time (2+ years) my truck has had a loud whistle/hiss sound when accelerating (it sounds exactly like a big turbo), and I figured it was the exhaust tips or manifolds leaking - but it’s not. Any other ideas?? I tried tracking down/fixing the issue by doing the following in...

    Question Regarding Zone 4" Lift

    Yep 35s fit on 2.5” coilovers all day long! If you don’t want them sticking out past the fenders do 0 offset and you’ll be happy! I’ll also add that if you decide on 20s, Nitto makes the Recon Grappler in a 315/60r20 (35x12.50r20) size with an XL load rating - not an LT rating, so it would ride...

    Anyone know the rear coil spring rates on these 1500s?

    Long story short, I like the way the truck rides with 500+lbs in the bed, but I very rarely have that much weight in the bed, so I’d like to get some lighter rate rear coils so the truck feels like that more often! I’m adding Pacbrake airbags and a wireless compressor anyway, so I could care...

    Anyone added Baja designs lights please come in

    Hey guys thanks so much for showing interest! I’m really excited to release this kit! It’s designed to work with *most* 3 inch pods on the market! I say *most* because once you start diving into the specs on many of the lights on the market you’ll find that they say 3” but that could mean...

    Question Regarding Zone 4" Lift

    Yeah…problem is the rear of your truck is already probably 2-2.5” taller in the rear. So if you get 4” front and rear, your rear will still be 2-2.5” taller and look super goofy lol. I started with 4” height and then went to 5.5” height and honestly man, I would absolutely recommend just doing...

    Question Regarding Zone 4" Lift

    Yep, what Jerry said. If you’re getting the standard 4” lift kit that uses front spacers then your truck will sit 4” taller than it currently is because you’re still using your 1” lifted coil from the ORG. The rear however should be only 3” or 4” to get you level. 5” rear lift is what the 6”...

    Anyone added Baja designs lights please come in

    Haha yeah the jig I have made to cut the holes lines up to the center point of the grille, which is why I have to do odd increments. So your options are 1,3,5, or if you don’t have parking sensors I could prob do 7 haha
