Rough Country and I think they were about $200 for the whole truck…already saved me a big tear in the back seat.

I’ve been happy with my 22 tradesman and have found it easy to upgrade. They made these trucks pretty modular actually if you got a few key options, aux switches seemingly a big one

Maybe for the parking sensors?

Just applied PB surface shield to the truck yesterday. I used the WoolWax spray gun kit ($50 on Amazon) and about a can and a half from the spray gun out of the $80 gallon I bought. It went a lot further than I thought it would. I put it off too long, wasn’t that bad once I got started. Wore a...

I think torque specs appeal to people who love things to be systematic and defined. There’s nothing wrong with that and there are certainly places where that’s absolutely mandatory, engines for example. But the reality is that the probably have to establish some spec purely for liability...

Didn’t even consider this was a thing people do. I would’ve had guessed downloaded songs from a phone USB connection maybe. My uConnect 5 is slow and doesn’t respond very fast. I expect very little from it.

Yea and really for most I would imagine, a set of front 9.25” gears will be necessary too, which I haven’t seen in 4.44, only 4.10.

I’d avoid Venom. Had a really bad experience with them being out of round. Not worth the hassle for the cheap price.

Yea it was mildly on my radar but hearing that makes me think I shouldn’t be starting it early at all. I’ve always let my gas trucks run for a second before taking off but with a short commute it’s probably doing more harm than good eh?

My truck also has a lot of idle hours for only 8,000 miles….took delivery February 2022. I remote start it usually for a few mins right before I drive away going to and coming home from work to get the AC and/or heat started….I can count on one hand how many times it’s hit the 15 min shutoff...

It says “may experience” a malfunction light, does that mean we might have this and not know? Also what is the fix?

The radios in these trucks seem to be awful all around. I have the UnConnect 3 with the 5” screen (aka cheapie) and even it is completely unresponsive for about 15 seconds when I get in the truck. So if I had Bluetooth connected when I got out, the volume will be cranked super loud since...

Do you mount on passenger side with the column shifter? Worried about it being far away but obviously not going to have it in the way of the shifter.

Rule number one…look cool!! Rule number two…know your ****! Rule number three…if you can’t follow rule number two, refer to rule number one!

I did the same mod first month I had mine, I had to look it up….too afraid I was going to snap some little piece of plastic and ruin my new truck.
