I hear ya for sure, its just that.... all those TRXs and Raptors I see everywhere around me every day can't all be on their way to the desert all the time... can they? ;) That's why if it should ever come around, I'm so down for a big-power street truck with that application in mind. We've...

It’s silly to go fast in a truck. Even look at the TRX and Raptor R and consider: - neither comes with upgraded brakes - both have tires poorly suited to spirited driving - many cars and EVs are faster still than either for less money to acquire and operate. Still, I’m glad they exist...

The Jeep commercial with Harrison Ford was pretty good, particularly the end. I didn’t put 2 and 2 together until the end that his name was FORD. Good for a laugh. Otherwise that Glen guy from the Ram commercial owes me a bundle for my time and money wasted on Twisters. One of the worst movies...

I feel like 2022 was peak DT. Could get a non-eTorque Hemi with your choice of screen size, both with UC5. Quality seems peak too, as rear window leak seems less common by then, same with other minor things. Aesthetically it was also the last year for fender flares on Laramie as well as...

Wow, so the HO has the fuel system to run full E85 right out of the box?! This motor is going to be a monster. Apart from that, numbers in E85 are not very relatable for pump gas users. But their Map2 on pump gas shows increases of 80hp and 75tq - not too shabby. Last interesting note is...

Absolutely. Where I was going with the questions was essentially Bilstien has the edge in handling and responsiveness, while the Eibachs have the edge in ride comfort. They are not polar opposites; rather, that is just where each excels over the other. And they both handle better than stock.

Awesome!! Good to know for reference, and appreciate the specifics on the Klipsch. I had such high hopes for it. That is the only feature that I’d consider stepping up to the Tungsten for, so gathering reviews. I think it’s crazy when manufacturers go to all the licensing and technical...

Curious what year your Silverado was, in as far as I’m curious about which Bose system you are benchmarking? Modern Bose runs the gamut and I recall they made some changes for the 2019+ MY GM trucks which to my ear made a very big difference.

Both terrific options. Can’t go wrong. I’ve had both the 5100s and the Eibachs on the same truck. Both are better than stock. Note: I have the coilover version of the Eibachs, not the one that re-uses the stock spring. So I can’t say for certain about those. But assuming both Eibachs have a...

I’ve had an issue with an F150 which was cable actuated, where snow and ice got onto the linkage and prevented the lever from physically shifting into the Park slot. But the ZF 8 speed has no physical linkage… so I’d think an electronic issue? Water/ice in a harness? Whatever it was… no bueno.

Don’t understand the obsession with the 35x12.5 tire size, personally. It’s the 12.5” width that is the problem - not so much the 35” height - which necessitates either a wheel spacer with stock wheels, or aftermarket wheels with more negative offset, in order to clear the upper control arms...

Such a fantastic and underrated tire. I’ve had all the usual suspects and that is my favorite.

Wow, they messed up. Not only didn’t use the 1” lift/ ORG springs, but they may have even used 2wd V6 quad cab springs from the look of it. Hard to imagine they’d double down on it being the right part. Just look at it.

Really turbos just need good lubrication and they’ll live forever. So keeping OCIs short and using quality oil prevents any issues well into triple digit mileage. In fact there really isn’t any servicing - it works or it doesn’t, in which case it needs replaced. The biggest issue I see...

The Eibach coilover kits for these trucks allow you to adjust on the truck, for not too too much more money than the 5100s.

…. Sorry for the derail. Though “V8’s are central to the CDJR brand…” angle here then I suppose this would come up. I’m simply recommending a 2 State (engine) solution. Let people choose what is important to them.

Exactly… it never ends. I’ve seen that option from Burger and have to admit it’s tempting. But then I remind myself to not to go back down that rabbit hole… But as piggybacks go they have a good reputation, at least in the EcoBoost and VW/Audi worlds. I wouldn’t hesitate to try it if I owned...

And I’d happily drop any SO with my ethanol’d and turbo-swapped ecoboost. Should just edge out an HO as well. … And any Rivian truck will happily drop me. As will most high performance German barges that turn 11.x & 12.low second quarters like nothing. … Point is, there’s always a bigger...

Gents, clearly we’re well on the way to saving CDJR with these ideas. Here’s another: Bring back a BOF Dakota option and keep the Durango untamed - Hemi option for each please, with a manual option on the ‘Kota.
