Shell, Chevron and Kroger are my go-to stations. Kroger isn't on the Top-Tier list but it's my preffered supplier. Marthon is the other station I visit occassionaly so I'm glad to see it on that list as well.

My truck got real sensitive to fuel around the 86k mile mark. It would run great for a tank or two and then do the loping idle with misfires on cyl 8. I replaced plugs at 100k and nothing changed. Switching to mid grade fuel made a slight improvement but things cleared up once I ran a few tanks...

i just crawled under my truck just to see what ya'll are talking about. My first thought, I sure don't miss working on trucks that see salt and mud. My second thought was that this is a pretty straightforward swap as long as the bolts come out. But if they don't....this is gonna suck! The frame...

^^^ Funner if you actually say each of those quotes in Jack's voice.

All devices have firmware and thus have firmware updates. https://oplmonitor.eu/en/vlinkerfirmware

You don't really have much choice if they don't give you one. All the models I'm interested in are currently only available in 4x4, with Ramboxes, and the I6. I can live with the 4x4 and I6 but it's the Ramboxes that kill the deal for me. So, if I'm going to be driving a 4x4 with the I6...

How big is your tank? I imagine the 33 gallon tank may register full longer than the 26 gallon tank would.

Found a reference to M-Line that made them at some point. They are out of Alberta, Canada but the US dollar is strong right now and you'd be surprised at how simple it is to import one. https://www.facebook.com/MLineIndustries

I currently have the one piece hard Tonneau from Limitless MFG out of Canada. https://limitlessmfg.com/ I imported it a few years ago when our dollar was strong and they hadn't figured out how to jack the price up to gouge us yet.

That answer will differ with the manufacturer of the deck. The supports on my previous aluminum deck were 50" inside and 54" outside. so I had to lift the frame up and over the wheel wells. My current deck sits on the top of the rails with no supports but it would only carry a single ATV or sled.

Interesting...moving on then. I appreciate the insider info. Nobody knows these trucks like trained techs!

Agreed, the two issues are likely unrelated so I edited the thread to put the focus on the fact that the relays had nearly worked their way out of the sockets. And if they are moving, it's only a matter of time before one does reach the end of it's engagement and starts causing issues. Are we...

I was under my hood troubleshooting a drained battery when I discovered that all the relays in the main fuse block had worked their way nearly out of their sockets. Rough guess is that they were all 1/4 - 3/8" out from fully seated. Curious if anyone else has ever noticed this phenomenon?

I'm thinking a guy should buy a couple of these just to keep on hand in case of a failure. How long did it take to get from China? Also, what was the nature of the failure?

The locks are all 12VDC so I am assuming that what they are saying is that the trigger circuit that you would normally tap into, has been changed to a different voltage on the 2025 models. In this instance, you may be able to use relays to trigger or possibly just order a new lock kit that...

Curious if the previous owner had larger tires at some point and made any adjustments to the tire selection in the computer. 8.5 MPG seems very low, even for a "spirited" driver. As a quick check, you could take a drive and see if the odometer matches what a map service says the route should be.

Easiest and simplest is to install an airbag system in the rear and adjust the pressure to get the truck level again. I've always run the Firestone systems but there are plenty of good options on the market. I skip the onboard compressor option and set my pressures manually to match my load...

I should note that the Billstein part number I referenced for the rear, (and installed on my truck), is not the same part # as OEM for trucks with air suspension. It fits and it works but I cannot say what the difference(s) could be, other than the OEM part being 3 times the cost. There's been...

I replaced my OEM's around 122K miles but I should have done them sooner. I upgraded to Bilstein B6 4600's and am quite happy. The only two options I found that fit the air suspension (Front anyways), were both OEM. Either Hitachi, like your truck came with, or the Bilstein 4600's that they put...

There are several threads on the topic but my comments were a decent summary of them. The few times I did ask a dealer to look at my truck, they said to leave the truck for 3-5 days for them to "diagnose" the issues. That's a no bueno for me so 2 hrs and $65 later, I resolved the problem...
