    Noticed this great makeshift trailer, which obviously would give no problems loading!

    DEF usage

    I’ve been keeping track of DEF usage for the past 53k miles on my 2022. Average of 540 mpg for DEF at the moment. My usage is about 40 percent towing. Higher DEF usage goes along with higher fuel consumption with towing. You’re at 840 mpg, which seems pretty good.

    Michelin Defender LTX Platinum

    I also have a 2022 2500 Laramie, 6.4 bed, but it's a diesel. I replaced the OEM Firestone tires at 33,740 in Oct. 2023 with a set of 285/60/R20 Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Currently at 55,500 miles. I was pulling a 29' 5'r with gross of 10,000. Just upgraded to a 34' with 11,500 gross. The...

    New Truck Looks Like it was an extra in Landman or Twisters - Dust inside everything - pics

    After camping in a rather nasty windstorm while at Rockhound State Park in southern New Mexico a few weeks ago, the bed (under Retrax cover), exterior and engine compartment of my truck looked just like your pics! Spent some time at the car wash! The interior was covered in dirt too, but not...

    Battery trouble

    I suspect most users here are wondering "who always told you that?" No, there is no "syncing" the battery as far as I know. I changed out both batteries in my garage when the originals went bad. No need to have taken it to the dealer. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Sounds like you...

    You might want to try Aircraft Spruce (aircraftspruce.com). Just do a search for push button. You will find a bunch.

    8660 Pounds!?

    Sounds about right. A recent CAT weigh of my truck was 8,560. This was with full tank & Def, wife and two small dogs. This also includes Pullrite 5th wheel hitch (300 lbs) and Retrax cover (105 lbs).

    Lets see what you are towing!

    Upgraded my 5th wheel from a 29' to a 33'. Wife loves the new floorplan with lots more room.

    Sometimes I just love what my EVIC is telling me

    On a recent trip from Tucson, AZ to Roswell, NM, I was keeping tabs on my mileage, distance and time using "trip A." After I stopped for fuel, I watched the range go from 601 up to 675. Took this pic while cruising along, thought it was great to have a 675 mile range, getting 23.1 mpg on the...

    Engine doesn’t turn over when cold

    Did the exact same thing. Originals lasted 2.5 years.

    Tire help for towing

    I replaced the Transforce with Michelin Defenders. We tow a 9,500 lb fifth wheel. Very happy with the tires so far.

    Most important parameters to use on 5th gen Cummins for Banks iDash 1.8 Super Gauge

    Seems to me what’s most important is what you want to know. With a dual gauge setup you’ll have ten screens, so lots of possibilities. The “soot level” (DPFRG%) is one parameter I have on my main screen. Have fun learning how to set up your gauges..

    Dash Camera Options these days

    I installed a Blackvue DR750X-2CH in my truck. It is unobtrusive, does a great job and the video quality is excellent.

    P2609 Code Troubleshooting Help

    Got a P2609 DTC today. Looking for troubleshooting help. When I started my 2022 2500 this morning, the normal grid heater bar in the EVIC came on, and I waited as normal for the engine to start. It didn't, and the EVIC showed the normal push brake and button to start. Did that and it started...
