    Diesel instead of gas

    This a late reply but I came across a used 2500 Laramie 6.4 gas with 3.73 gears lease back in excellent condition, loaded with rambox. Been towing the trailer for almost 3 years now with it, tows the trailer excellently. I did notice it will not accelerate like the 1500 but it is a much heavier...

    What's the best deal anyone has negotiated for the Sirius XM Guardian Convenience + Security package?

    I negotiated a Cumpustar T11 as part of the deal at the dealer when I bought my truck. They kept pushing the fact that I did not need it because the guardian lets you start from your phone. I asked them how the truck would start when I'm 200Kms north on the Alaska highway in camp without any...

    Backflip mx4 issues

They sealed out water, dust, etc. Now I got the Bac revolver x4 (roll type)...

    Auto Dim High Beams
