2025 SST SO Bighorn Level 2 Night Edition. I’m 9,000 miles in now. Everything’s been great for the most part. Added nerf bars and an undercover flex tri-fold cover. The only issues have been some of the intermittent electrical gremlins that most every truck seems to have these days:
- it will...
The clicking sound is the high pressure fuel pump. In my experience they are not normally that loud. It’d be worth showing that video to your dealership to get their opinion if the truck is still under warranty. If that pump fails, or loses pressure during operation (the hurricane runs really...
I’d keep them until you use the new wheels and tires for a while. If the new ones don’t balance as well, you’ll get tired of the shaky ride pretty quick. After that, if you’re satisfied, just sell them online and get ready to take a low offer. Seems like OEM wheels don’t resell very well generally.
For those two, I’d have to see the specific builds and mechanical history, and have them checked over by a mechanic first. Whichever was more mechanically sound and have options I preferred, that’s the one I’d go with.
My 2025 bighorn has 1727lbs of payload. SO SST, level 2 pkg, night edition. Let go of some of the luxury items and you’ll have all the payload you need. I moved from a Bighorn to a Limited, then back down to a Bighorn b/c all the “luxury” wore off after a few months. Both bighorns rode/ride...
I’ve ran both 87 and 93 in my SO. Minimal noticeable difference. Perhaps a bit of power loss on the top end and a tiny mpg loss on 87. Nothing worth sticking to 93.
I’ve dealt with that issue twice in the past. Other shorties did very little if anything to help performance. The passenger side swap should go smoothly. It’s the driver side that’s the headache. Also, there most likely will be bolts stuck in the head that you’ll have to extract.
Since it...
The Eco diesel engine wasn’t made for sport. It was made for smoothness and fuel efficiency. A tune is pretty much the only way you’re gonna get rid of that turbo lag. The stock tune setup is hampered by government emissions requirements, sport or no.
Assuming it’s bagged pellets on an actual pallet (like what Lowe’s sets out to sell individual bags of), the load in would be the scariest part to me. Whoever is driving that forklift better be really good. That amount of weight would need to be placed properly in the bed over the axle. I...
I don’t think so. However, even if it did, it’d be more of a gimmick; make the gas pedal a bit more sensitive, maybe hold one gear lower, and stiffen up the steering a touch.
AC has been great on my ‘25 SST SO. 19’s and 20’s had the blend door issue. I would clamp the heater hose off during the summer on my ‘19 to get the AC colder. No issues on the new truck.
Do they plug directly into the car’s usb ports? If so, try a 12v outlet or 120v outlet adapter. I believe the vehicle usb ports are expecting to see a smart device rather than just putting out a constant 5v current for charging. Charging some devices, like my mobile hotspot, shaves the same...
Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I’ve been running them for 30k miles and they’re still as good as they were new. My driving profile and tire priorities are very similar to yours.
Exact same boat here. Almost never use the physical AC controls. Almost always use the comfort controls. I wish the physical buttons were swapped on the 12”.
