I always run 75w90 or when I used to tow heavy 75w140.

Haven't been on it recently but the last time I was there it was horrible, along with Illinois years ago. Illinois has since been improved

I tried using cruise like I did on the Diesel but no go.

Just have to go without the seatbelt and buckle it behind you.

Take a regular pin and drill out the hole slightly larger and buy a small/strong padlock.

What problems is the 8 speed auto having? I have heard of virtually no problems with it . There have been a few 6.4 lifters issues, but in the overall picture it is a very remote problem.

I got one in 2020 in mine, highly recommend it. Just allowed me to run 1000 miles with one fuel stop on the way.

The only proper way to repair any tubeless tire is with a plug/patch combination, plugs only, should only be a temporary repair to get you to a tire repair shop for the proper repair. Patching only lets the steel cords able to get moisture in them and cause rust/corrosion.

Why not hook them up to the trailer wiring plug?

I used the sleeve for 7 years on my old truck. never had any problems, nor have I heard about any problems from others. With this truck I needed a longer drop on the shank so I bought one that was 2 1/2 inch. I do like that I don't have to fight the sleeve when putting the ball mount on and off.

I towed more than 50000 miles with a Reese one and had no problem.

I have to agree, the rotary knob is ridiculous.

Not yet, this is the first I have seen this. I was in heavy rain on the highway.

I have an ARE on mine, so far everything is waterproof except around the tailgate on each corner on the bottom.

After 25 years with a Diesel towing some fairly heavy trailers I got a Hemi a few years ago. I had gotten rid of the big 5er and only tow a dump trailer locally. I believe with the emissions problems the Diesel is no longer an advantage and am very happy with the gas. Mileage is pretty close...
