My 3.21/5.7 non E torque does great. Plenty of power but I never intend to tow anywhere near max trailer weight on this one. 3.92s would totally be necessary for high wind resistance type towing imo. With the older transmissions I wouldn’t have considered anything but at 3.92 but this truck gets...

Weird, mine will let me brake stand it to get one started. Non limited slip but it‘s balanced pretty well and will smoke both if the road is level and in good condition. Only tried it twice just to see if it would do it. Currently approaching 54k miles on the stock Goodyears with meat left. I...

I just turned 100 idle hours at 53k miles. I only remote start if the truck is iced over badly. Otherwise, I just remote start 30 seconds before walking out so it’s idled down and not going into gear at 1200 rpm’s.

My “base” 21 bighorn came with the following that the 22+ does not as “Standard”. -Painted door handles -Auto 4x4 T case (I think even the BH Level one still doesn’t get this) Basically all a base BH gets you over a Tradesman now is badging/nicer seat fabric?/Nicer door panels/dual exhaust...

The factory tires aren’t the Alenza plus. I exclusively ran the + tires on my last 3 (4 sets) trucks and get 60-70k and I tow a lot. They have great wet traction and are smooth/quiet with great economy. They trick you because the non + look identical to the + model. Sadly, Bridgestone is phasing...

My truck unfortunately doesn’t have a rear limited slip. I let it slide because it was an unbelievable buy in 2021 and has auto 4x4. I use auto on boat ramps and getting into traffic in slick and wet conditions where a limited slip would have helped. I‘m still in powertrain warranty and wanted...

Changed the fluid in the T case last night. What came out looked great. Bit more color than the stuff going in but clear as a bell. With all the clutches inside I’ll likely continue to do a 50k interval along with the rear end at 50k. Front diff was so new and clean I’ll probably start...

Out of stock. I actually just found a dealer here locally around lunch with 8 quarts and I paid out the nose. Will look for a better solution on the next fluid change.

Happy Monday dudes. So, I just flipped 50k on the 21 and wanted to get my driveline fluids changed (big towing run in January coming up). I was planning to stick with all Mopar for warranty purposes and simplicity. I’ve found it’s basically impossible to get the Mopar fluids at the moment...

Nice. I wouldn’t do it on my own for that cheap.

Maybe someone accidentally poured something into the overflow tank ? Take the radiator cap off (when it’s completely cold) and see what the fluid actually in the pressurized part of the system looks like. That’s 10 year 100k mile coolant. My 21 is at 50k and you have to try hard to see the...

At 47,331 my last oil change I had 90 idle hours. I’m on the highway a lot and don’t let my truck idle unless I’m moving trailers around the barn lot etc. I remote start almost every day a minute before walking out so the truck is idled down and not going into gear at 1200 rpm’s. I might let...

How’s she holding up ?

I’ll be right at 50k in two years. Somehow I do almost exactly 25k a year and have consistently for most of my life.

The older 02-08 tailgates would do this too. Right where the cables connect to the gate (but on the visible side). Something inside moves and I always figured it was from guys letting the gate slam down instead of letting it down lightly. My 2010 never did it but I didn’t let the gate slam and...

Dang, I’m not quite ready yet as I think these will be serviceable through spring. Just trying to get my ducks in a row.

HL Alenza Plus is a different tire. They look very similar but I suspect they have a different build or compound with the same tread. I’ve been looking at those continentals. Great looking tires.

What model are those ?

Yeah, the MS is always a great choice. My buddy has that on his 16 eco d and they have worn well so far. I don’t think they make them in white letter flavor though. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks. Has a set of those on a Dakota way back and they were great. Little more aggressive than what I’m looking for (truck returns great mileage) so I’m looking to stay with something that’s got some eco focus on it.
