    Stake Pocket Covers are Gone

    Hello all. I took a 320 mile round trip Monday and Tuesday and noticed after we pulled into the driveway last night my two rear OEM stake pocket covers were missing. It became apparent because when I closed the bed and tonneau cover, the bed light came through the pocket. Can these things...

    Having trouble filling tank

    Last half a dozen fills have been challenging. I have been to different pumps at different stations and the pump keeps clicking off every gallon or two. Research leads me to believe that air is either trapped in the tank/line or Maybe a sensor is bad? Are there any simple actions I can take...

    Are all errors captured in the computer???

    I had two independent failures of TPMS connectivity. They eventually went away and reset. At the dealer now and they say nothing is wrong. I asked what computer codes were captured and they told me none. I thought all of those idiot lights on the dash were saved and recorded the codes? Ron

    Gear Hunting

    Just wondering if this is normal. When towing a 6k travel trailer the truck shifts gears a lot. During a 10 mile stretch on I-77 in SC the truck down and up shifted 44 times. As low as 4th gear on a couple of large hills and 8th gear twice on large down hills. Generally migrating between 5,6...

    BedRug - Like? Don't Like?

    I've been looking at the BedRugs for a few weeks. Just the flat carpet that covers the bed floor, not the sides or the tailgate. The lowest price I saw was $151. I hemmed and hawd' and talked myself out of it, thinking, "Why do I really "need" this?" I received an email last night from a...

    Removing B Pillar Vinyl - Any Regrets?

    I'm considering removing my factory vinyl B pillar covers. There are several videos on YT on how to do this. Has anyone here done this? Is it as easy as it seems? Any Regrets? Concerns? Pitfalls? Here is one of those videos.

    Repurpose BakFlip #2

    I had an issue with a BakFlip and the company sent me a new unit. They told me to destroy the old one so it could never be a tonneau cover again. So I took 2 pieces and made shelves in my workshop. I was recently looking for bed dividers. I wasn't interested is spending $100s of dollars or...

    Overnight Hookup OK?

    I would like to have my truck and trailer all set up the day prior so all we have to do is wake up and leave the next morning. Can I do any harm to my truck leaving the camper hooked up to it for 20 hours or so just sitting in the driveway? The trailer is not especially heavy. About 6K fully...

    Changing the radio station while turning - Do you have this problem?

    I seem to have this problem where I'm accidentally pushing the buttons on the rear side of the steering wheel when executing a turn. A 90 degree turn at an intersection, driveway or parking lot but at slow speeds. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to disable those buttons...

    Please help me understand 4 wheel drive

    We had some snow and wintery mix today in PA. I went out and decided to use the 4 wheel drive high for the first time. I had some trouble and thought you kind folks could help me through it. I put the vehicle in 4 wheel drive in the driveway. I drove about 3 miles to the grocery store on 35...

    Will the mileage get better or is this what I should expect?

    I just filled up for the 2nd time. I have 660 miles on the vehicle and the computer says the average MPG is 13.3. I have been babying the truck during the break in period, avoiding interstate travel and taking the surface streets as much as possible. The few times I was on the interstate I...

    Re-Purpose the Bak Flip MX4

    In another post, I discussed my Bak Flip not fitting correctly. The company sent me another one right away. But they did not want the old one back. They had a very strange request. Show us a picture of the item destroyed. I thought, what a shame. Just destroy it and throw it away? We'll I...

    How the heck do you wash this thing?

    This is by far the largest vehicle I have ever owned. The temp was north of 40 the other day so I decided to give it its first wash. It's not easy. I'm 6'4" and have a pretty good wingspan, yet I still needed a pole and had to stand on the running board to reach everywhere. What are your...

    Dad was smart!

    When I built my house 18 years ago, Dad said, "Son, whatever size your garage is, make it three feet wider and three feet deeper". We put in a man door with the width. But how did he know I would eventually need the length?

    My Son calls this the OMS

    OMS (Old Man Step) I sure am glad this came with my new truck. I think it was part of the bed utility group package. I must have used it a dozen times yesterday installing my tonneau cover. I can't imagine trying to climb into the back of the truck without it. Ron

    ** SOLVED - Help or thoughts with BakFlip MX4 install problem

    I tried to install my new BakFlip MX4 today. I watched three install videos and followed the instructions explicitly. No matter how I adjust the cover, the end panel will not line up to close. It's looks like the manufacturer installed the lock mechanism 1/8th inch off to the right. The...

    This is why the manual is 470 pages long.

    Sitting down this morning with a cup of coffee and cracked open the manual after bringing home the new truck last night. Got to page 22 reading about replacing the battery in the key fob and read this warning ⚠️. Is this really a problem that needs to be addressed? Don't ingest the battery???

    Where do I find my Key Code?

    I'm filling out the Roadside Assistance card and it asks for a Key Code. I have this card which has numbers and letters on it, but it does not say it's a key code. Is it? Thanks. Ron
