Well it looks like I would need the beefier bones of a 4500/5500 in order to proceed w/those DBL upgrades. Makes sense, as those MRAP wheels ain’t exactly lightweight… I would think the “smaller” frame & axles of the 3500 would fair so well. Dammit lol But that conversion would make any truck...

I'll have to do some research into the super single idea. A quick search for pictures of trucks with that setup look pretty dang nice!

Definitely the lack of telescoping steering wheel, which leads to my right knee coming in constant contact with the 4WD selector switch ‘bulge’. Silver lining: at least the pedals are adjustable, which is somewhat helpful.

Using personal field experience, the first thing that jumps out at me is “22051” as a Julian date, which if correct, would mean 20February2022. As for the other dates, nothing logical comes to mind, but a WAG would be possibly a batch number (00054), and employee badge numbers (CP7 and 8111)...

You aren’t wrong…that is my primary option. If it weren’t a challenge to get a SRW 3500 built exactly like my truck, I would do that route 100%. But with the market being what it is…nothing is off the table lol

Thanks for the heads up…I’ll have to look into that. If the market is still like it was when I picked up my truck, that 2500 MegaCab Laramie will sell fast.

Also: the truck is 4 months old, and has 4,400 miles. Condition is near as can be to “pristine/off the showroom floor”.

Before I begin, let me say that when I bought my 3500 DRW MegaCab I needed it for towing, but now that my business is changing direction, I don’t need DRW for towing. So at this point, the DRW is overkill for a “daily”. I’m contemplating selling it outright, but I enjoy the truck and already...

Fingers crossed. Keep us posted. Can’t wait to see the pics of the new rig!

Welcome!

Howdy from San Antonio! Welcome to the forum!

I tell ya, it really is a small world ain’t it? I am retired Army myself (22 yrs). We lived in UC for years. We made the move out to LaVernia last year and really enjoy it out here. I see you’re a Bimmer owner, too. I like the E85/86; beautiful design and great chassis IMO. I currently have an...

Howdy from San Antonio! Glad to have you here!

Looks great! I had the same thought about getting a “feel” for the accuracy/inaccuracy of the fuel gauge before reprogram it. Side note: I wonder how difficult it would be to find a float switch (already in production for another product) that has the proper length/dimension? Just a guess, but...
