I built an internal frame in mine so I could run an RTT for the family. Turned out pretty stout!

Would be worth making sure you've got a new air filter in place as well. Check the fluid level in the transmission, make sure its not low or slipping.

I've been running 35x12.5" tires on a +18mm wheel offset since day one on my truck on stock suspension. I'm at 66k miles currently and the only rub is at full lock to the left if I'm backing up and hit a bump or transition. A heat gun will take care of it pretty quickly.

My brother is down in the Weatherford area and has used NBS Diesel Performance and been pretty happy with them. They did some front end work and flushed and installed a deep oil pan on the transmission of his 2500. He's in Weatherford.

My thought exactly is to get another new tranny on warranty if it needs replacing and then have it built and be done with the dealerships for good

Definitely keep me posted on your prognosis! My replacement transmission is acting up like the initial did.

Where are you located?

Did this ever get figured out?

All finished. The only other piece I will add will be a removable cross bar near the rear to give some additional rigidity when driving on forest service roads

A few more from current this evening.

Got an opportunity to pickup an ikamper from my overlanding buddy on the cheap. I started looking at Alu-cab and RSI canopies but didn’t want to spend 4-5,000 on another canopy plus mine is already paint matched. So I set to work sourcing aluminum and steel unistrut. I swapped out all the...

That's great to hear they stepped up and took care of it. My 2nd tranny hesitates pretty bad until it gets up to operating temp if i dont get the throttle into it heavy enough so we will see. I'm at 60,000 miles and have 3 years left on my powertrain. I'm at 25,000 miles with the second so I've...

The guy at the tire shop praised me for religiously rotating the coopers when he swapped in the Falkens because he couldnt believe how even the tread wear was. I laughed and said they were rotated once at 35,000 miles and his jaw dropped. It was pretty funny. I hope to rotate the Falkens a bit...

I run 60 in the rear loaded and unloaded. I tow a 12K toy hauler and a 10k dump trailer and daily drive mostly unloaded. That gave me a very even wear pattern for my last set of tires (Cooper Rugged Treks) that lasted 60K miles with 1 rotation.

I'm running the same and i run them 65 in the front and 60 in the rear. Pretty happy with the ride quality. Great tire.
