    Prevent center console damage from duty/carry gun?

    I was removing my IWB appendix carry (Alien Gear Shapeshifter) and clipping it to the bottom rubber of the wireless cell charging station. While that worked well, it was a royal pain to get the holster unclipped off of. I have since switched to a 3-4 o'clock IWB carry position and, honestly...

    2023 gmc sierra 1500 road trip cabin experience

    GMC definitely upped their game! When I'm ready to buy again, it looks like the GMC's are back in the running. I cross shopped GMC when I was looking for a new truck back in 2019. The interior looked cheap and dated compared to Ford and RAM at the time. The 5.3L was also a dog compared to the...

    Mopar #68446866AA for brake moan

    I did it myself as well. 1 kit covers both sides and I did not replace the pads. Works like it's supposed to and I have several thousand miles since without a peep.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Pretty sure the Hemi's days are numbered, so RAM seems to not give 2 ****s about fixing the issue.

    Fluids Change Time (Transfer, Differential, Transmission)

    I change the Frt, rear, and T-case out with Amsoil around 30k miles (IIRC). I'm sitting at 49k and will probably change out the transmission fluid / filter before the end of the year. ..unless I get a new truck first. :sneaky:

    Tow/haul mode always when towing?

    I always just turn it on and forget about it. Only other thing I might do is lockout 8th.

    Exhaust Manifold issue.

    Pretty sure every Hemi has manifold issues at one point or another.. I've had both replaced and I have zero confidence that the replacements will last.

    Fumoto valve clearance

    Maybe I was sent the wrong one or possible given the wrong part number from a different thread on this forum. It's the straight one not the 90 degree one. While on the RaceRamps, there was not enough clearance to thread it into the oil pan. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe I'll pickup the 90 one before my next oil...

    Fumoto valve clearance

    It's possible. I also have the Bilstein 5100's at #2 (2nd lowest) setting.. but you'd think the Rebel guys or anyone with a leveling puck would have the same issue, right?

    Fumoto valve clearance

    Nope, mine was literally touching with no way to install without risking cross threading. So I now have a nice paperweight. 🙃

    Antifreeze smell

    I did the zip tie, didn't change anything.. good news is, the level hasn't changed in 48k miles, so I doubt I have an actual leak. Might give the cap a try.

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    Personally, I like the RC one better.

    What does "Full–Speed Forward–Collision Warning Plus" Do?

    Must be the Red! :ROFLMAO: Yeah, still happens, almost everytime I go over the Commodore Barry Bridge.. yet it does not happen on any other bridge I've been on.. even ones of similar design.

    truck bed storage options

    I just run a Bedcover (BAK MX4), a cheap ratcheting bar, and a large plastic tote to toss anything I don't use regularly, but want to keep in the truck. I also have several bungee cords on the tiedowns closest to the tailgate, so I can hook things quickly for a short trip.

    High engine oil and coolantvtwmp when towing

    My temps towing my 24'x8.5' trailer @ 7k lbs up a decent grade (east coast) last summer (95F+). I think your temps are high. Try slowing down alittle? You might have to much frontal area for your truck? Only thing I've done is change both diffs and the transfer case to Amisoil and make sure...

    Rambox - can you do without, or must have

    They were a 'want' but a long bed was a need, so I never had the option. On the daily stuff, I wish I had gotten them. I cannot recall how many times I've had to flip the bed cover open, climb up there, just to grab something as stupid as the tire plug kit & pump in my storage tote. But, when...

    First visit to the CAT scales

    You can move the spare to the trailer. I think it weighs north of 75lbs.

    Poor gas mileage

    Unfortunately, or fortunately, the speed limits around here are all 65mph+ and if you're doing any less than 70mph (right lane) in a 65mph zone you are a traffic hazard.

    Heated Steering Wheel Temp

    Mine, where the wood is gets hot, but bearable.. the leather portions are too hot to be comfortable. I usually let mine turn on with the truck, then shut it off a few minutes later.
