    Silverado 2500 HD Gas - Upgrade or downgrade?

    Been thinking about moving up to a HD pickup to make towing my big enclosed trailer easier. Diesel HD trucks are insanely high in price. Even with 150k miles on them, you’re looking at $50k around here. So I opened my search up to gasoline HD trucks as well. I found a 2021 Chevy Silverado...

    3.92 ring and pinion set

    Why don't any of the usual vendors have 3.92 R&P kits for the 5th Gen trucks? I've found some 3.92 front axle assemblies on eBay for $1k complete, and new ones can be had for around $1,300 complete. But it's a moot point if I can't find a matching rear gear set. Not paying $3,500 for a rear...

    3.92 front axle assembly

    Does anybody have an actual part number on the front axle assembly with 3.92 ratio? I've looked at some online Mopar parts vendors and there's like 15 different axle part numbers and none of them are noted by ratio.

    Uconnect Box??

    Now I have ANOTHER problem. Been stuck on this screen for 24 hours. Can't clear it. Ugh I hate UC5!

    GM oil consumption

    I’ve been hearing for a long time now that the modern crop of V8 gas engines from GM are notorious for consuming large amounts of engine oil. Then I saw some videos on the 2.7LT I-4 HO gas engine going into the 2023 Colorado and allegedly there are some oil consumption issues with it also. And...

    Yet another recall..

    I was just at the dealer last month for the tail gate recall (they made mine worse than it was when I took it in by the way) and now I have to go back again because the Trailer Reversing Control or whatever they call it is under recall. The little knob on the dash for steering the trailer. I...

    Mid-cycle refresh

    Five years on the market now unchanged. The 5th Gen truck is getting long in the tooth for today's pickup truck market. I wonder when they will update the Ram inside and out? Knowing Stellantis, probably never. But it's very strange how all of their big sellers (Ram 1500, Ram HD, Wrangler...

    Falken Wildpeak R/T01 - 35x11.50R20 on stock 20x9 Wheels

    Had the new Falken R/T tires mounted up today. 35x11.50 size. They measure 34.0" tall on the truck. Tread is 9.25" wide. Running them at 40 PSI. Load Range D. Weight 64 lbs. on my scales at home. Noise is very minor. Balanced out good. Fit the truck perfect. They barely touch my home...

    Any tire shop employees in here?

    Is this something a shop will patch? Or is it too close to the sidewall?

    Covering the gap that exposes the manifolds

    I wasn't happy with how I could stand next to the truck looking through the front wheel liner and see the engine. Seems that excessive water, mud, and grime was already getting into the engine bay and splashing the exhaust manifolds. Went to local store and bought a $20 SUV cargo mat and some...

    Skid plate bolts

    Does anybody here know the size and thread pitch of the factory skid plate bolts for the front end and for the transfer case? I bought M8x1.25 bolts and they are too small.

    Running power inverter off the 12V DC outlet

    My Laramie unfortunately was one of the trucks that was neutered at the factory due to "shortages of parts". One of the things that was deleted was the A/C power inverter and associated 115v outlets. Pisses me off, but I suppose it gives me an opportunity to upgrade to higher power than the...

    Bug deflector for Sport hood

    Anybody know if the Bugflector II will fit the Sport package hood? The listing I'm seeing says "will not fit Rebel". Is that because of the hood design? Would my Sport hood have the same issue?

    Laramie stock ride height

    Anybody here have a 100% bone stock Laramie crew cab 4x4? Care to measure the distance from the very center of the wheel hub to the bottom lip of the fender for me? I installed a 2" Motofab leveling kit, and I don't believe I got 2" out of it. And my bone head failed to document stock...

    Wrangler DuraTrac is the worst tire I've ever driven on in rain

    I’ve reviewed a lot of tires on my YouTube channel and I’ve used dozens of other tires that I haven’t publicly reviewed. HTs, ATs, and MTs. Every brand imaginable. And honestly, most modern tires are pretty good. Almost all of them do an equal job or close to it on these pickup trucks when...

    Tailgate badge lighting

    How would a guy make this tailgate lighting stay on any time the headlights are on? I think it looks cool.

    BAKflip F1?

    Anyone here have the BAKflip F1 cover? Have you had any issues with it? I have found one locally for a song. It's brand new in box but has one dent in it. I think I can repair the dent, and for the price he's asking it's extremely tempting. But I've never had a Bakflip brand bed cover...

    BW 48-11 Auto transfer case to 48-12 swap

    If I take the 4-auto version of the t-case out, and swap in the 48-12 version that actually locks the front and rear driveshafts 50/50 while in 4-low, what needs to be done on the programming side of things to make it work? Do I have to get a dealership to flash it?

    Non-ORG Ride Height?

    From center of hub to bottom lip of fender flare, what's the stock ride height on a Laramie 4x4? I have the 2" Motofab kit and forgot to take measurements beforehand. Oops.
