I have a 1997 that I ordered new from the factory still have. And I have a 2022 ordered from the factory ask me which one I drive more. I am seriously thinking of buying the extended warranty for time and not mileage, these things are so expensive to fix and if something goes wrong with the...

You should have kept it. JMO.

Nope.

2 feet to spare in front 1 foot six to spare and the rear

That’s not good. Keep us posted.

Do you know what we call those short bed trucks in the construction industry Useless.

Is there some kind of recall for the 23 and 24 2530 500 trucks and a few other vehicles.?

I’ve had USAA since the mid 80s auto and Home. Prices also increased over the years but I have found changing insurance companies they give you a great number for the first six months and then start raising your rates you can’t win for losing. USAA is still the cheapest for my home and automobiles.

Yes, there is some kind of recall.

Well, let’s all hope they don’t implement commercial insurance for 14,000 pound and above Trucks.

Me personally I would just stick with a good synthetic oil. Change it after one year or 5 to 8000 miles on my 97 I used to go 8000 miles but I would change the filter and add a quart at 4000 miles.

Me personally on all my new trucks 2000 miles first oil change. Then every 5000 miles Amsoil full synthetic 15 W-40 in my 97 10 W-30 in my 22. just my opinion I know a lot of people won’t agree oil it’s a lot cheaper than a new engine.

Why would you go against what the manufacturer suggest to use in a motor and use 15 W 40 versus what they suggest to use doesn’t make sense to me.

I agree that’s what I have on my 97 when my 22 needs tires that’s what I will be putting on there.

Do you mean Michelin Defender LTX?

I don’t know I seem to remember my 97 manual saying do not idle excessively. I will have to take a look and see if I can find it. I think it has something to do with low cylinder temperature wash down meaning diesel fluid and oil dilution, which intern is not good for the motor I believe.

That’s why I wouldn’t sell my 1997 3500 12 valve.

It’s hard for me to say personally. I ordered my truck new in January 2022 and picked it up in April 1922 but I only have 2900 miles on mine. No problems knock on wood.

The CP3 pump was never a problem. The CP4 was a problem on the 19s and 20s.
