    Better tires for my '21 1500?

    I just went with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S in the stock size. Those stock tires are really bad in the wet. Now that I've ditched them I have guaranteed a 6 month droughto_O

    Rear Tires

    I'm having the same issue also with a 2021 Lonestar: Stock Bridgestones 275/55-20's, 30,000 miles. Right rear has virtually no tread left. Left rear probably 25% remaining. Both fronts are at 50% or more. Thinking of replacing both rears with a different tire as these are absolutely horrible in...

    Travel Trailer Tire Recommendations?

    Goodyear Endurance. You get what you pay for. You don't want a tread separation or worse in the middle of nowhere.

    Where to put the dog…..

    I used to breed Weimaraners, so I know about dogs that are a bit on the hyper side. Just get a wire crate of sufficient size and tie it down in the bed. If you are worried about airflow, a small 12v fan should work.

    DIC Question

    When watching the "Offroad" screen in the DIC, I noticed that the stub axles will change from white to orange if I take a corner faster than I should. This is on asphalt in 2wd. If this the traction control kicking in or something else?

    "Off Road" Function in DIC

    Just noticed this after owning the truck almost a year and a half: When taking a corner (on pavement) a bit faster than I should, the 4 stub-axles that are normally white in 2WD mode turn yellow. It starts with the rear 2 and if I push it a bit harder, the front ones also change. Is this the...

    Front windows tinted installer said he couldn’t cover the corners

    None really. There used to be an annual military airshow at Van Nuys airport in SoCal. I took that picture from my 12th floor office window as they were leaving on a Monday morning. The B1 took a loop around the valley and picked up 4 F-16's in formation. As a final goodbye, they all hit their...

    Front windows tinted installer said he couldn’t cover the corners

    Same here, no issues with tinting the entire driver & passenger windows. The guy I used has been in business for over 30 years though. I'd ask for my $ back and look for another installer.

    Vanity Plates

    Best one I've ever seen was back in Cali: Newer Porsche 911 with a yuppie-type driving. NO WYFE

    Removing AGS and Active Air Dam

    I'm not exactly sure how these shutters work, or what their purpose is (probably EPA related) but my truck makes a metallic rattling sound from the front once I exceed 60 mph. It's almost like the tolerances where the shutters mount are too loose. Anyone else notice this?

    Rough Country Rear Wheel Liners

    I did mine last August when the temp was in the high 90's. Leave them out for an hour or two in the sun and they will definitely gain some flexibility. I've got bad wrists and also used a heat gun. Only took about 20 minutes per side. The instructions are excellent by the way; just follow them.

    87 vs 89 vs 93 (again)

    One thing that has not been mentioned. If you are pulling into a station and see a truck delivering fuel, go to another station. Reason is the new load of gas is stirring up all the crud that falls to the bottom of the stations tank over time. That will end up in your tank as many stations don't...

    Which oil seperator are you running?

    Same here. I just had my 1st oil change after adding it and there was about 3/4" of very dirty oil in the can.

    87 vs 89 vs 93 (again)

    I've gone the other way. There is a station by me that has 91 non-ethanol. It's priced between the 89 and 93. I live in hurricane country so I also keep 40 gallons of it stored for my generator. With Sta-Bil, it will keep for 2 years but I rotate it thru the truck every year.

    Odd transmission shifting habits 5.7 E-torque

    I think it's a gas mileage thing. Keep it in the highest gear for as long as possible. I had a 2016 GMC Canyon that would stay in 6th (highest for that year) until it coasted 20 mph or so. If you accelerated, it would just lug the engine, staying in 6th. If you needed to go, you would have to...

    Quick oil recommendations

    Same here , went to conventional until 2,500, then Mobil1 thereafter every 7,500.

    Which oil seperator are you running?

    Billet Tech here also. Quality stuff. Mounting bracket puts it in an out of the way place but still easy unscrewing for draining.

    I'm in the market for a new radar detector

    Been a Valentine owner for 15+ years. It doesn't have any fancy GPS or anything like that. All it does is detect radar (&laser) and it does an excellent job at it. Mounted mine in the pocket just in front of the center speaker & pulled power from the 12v cigarette plug. Changed fuse to the...

    Odd Noise From Front

    Normally, I have my radio at a fairly loud level. For some reason, I didn't have it on and noticed a rattle type of noise coming from the front. It's speed sensitive, starting about 58mph and gong away below that. RPM does not affect the noise. I'm thinking its the grill shutters rattling. This...
