    Was just told by my dealer that truck I ordered will not come with a 26 gallon tank and Comfort/Convenience Package

    Whatever you do DO NOT get a 23 Gallon tank. Even the 26 is too small. I REALLY wish I had a 33G on mine. I barely get 400 miles on a 26

    Oil type change mpg?

    In short my belief is no. Also a difference of 2 mpg is not statistically significant. I am betting if you tracked your mileage for a year you would see differences of 1-2 mpg from tank to tank.

    Does Anyone Use Conventional Oil?

    I am 57 years old and have owned countless cars, trucks motorcycles etc. I do all my own Maint and oil changes and I use synthetic. BUT, I have never had any oil related failure of any kind so its hard to say if its worth it or not. Its not a big enough expense to me to justify the risk so I use...

    How has your ceramic coating held up

    I coated my new truck in Sept of 2019 with CarPro Cquartz and Gliss and so far its still doing great. I did it myself and saved the $1200 and spent maybe $120 on the kit. I already had a buffer and various polish and Iron X clay bar etc. Its a consumer grade product not a pro one but after 17...

    Anyone hearing “pinging” on WOT?

    If you are running 93 already its unlikely its detonation. BUT if you want to be 100% sure get a tank of 93 and then add some octane booster on top of that and try again. If it still pings with 95-96 etc octane its gotta be something else other than detonation. Usually the knock sensors on the...

    Costco, Trucar, USAA, or Chrysler Affilate?

    Affilate is so easy. I have used it 4 times now. Its flawless as long as its a dealer that knows how it works
