    Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Gun raffles. What's your preference?

    I've always liked the 50/50 card deck style raffle for guns.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Tie rod ends shot, replace with Luke's Link?

    I was on the fence on this and finally just took it to Les Schwab to do the tie rod and pitman arm. I was charged aroudn $500 with parts and install. My front end feels nice and tight with no more play or rattle on bumps and potholes. I had one instance of death wobble when I bought my used new...

    285/ 70 or 75? That's the question.

    I have had 3 sets of Toyo AT2 285/75/17 tires. Love them. The new "extreme" AT2 give it just a little nicer more aggressive look. I think they changed the rubber compound a bit as I seem to be getting better miles with the AT2 vs the older AT. Used to get about 45k miles out of the AT, now with...

    Concerned with lack of power available, wont even spin tire......

    I had a 2010 for 130k+ miles and pulled a similar boat out of bad ramps 100s of times. I know the 2014s have a lot more nanny and controls on them, but I can say the motor and 68RFE on mine never had any issues what so ever. I was always impressed how well it pulled anything up bad ramps. I had...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2001 manual cup holder part? The slider thingy to size the cup holder....

    On my new to me 2001 6spd truck the floor mounted cup holders by the shifter, the little slider thing that makes the cup holder smaller- that part is missing. Anyone know what they call that? I have had a heck of a time finding it on ebay etc. I have a cup holder for the center seat console...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission What's it worth?

    I was hunting for a similar truck for quite a while. I just recently purchased a 2001 with a 6spd. It had 270k miles and I would say it wasn't quite as nice of shape as yours. I paid $12k. I would think yours would be a similar price tag in our area. Automatics seem to sell for less and sit...

    Woes of getting a smarty????

    So do the new Chevy's have as many issues with all the emissions stuff? Why is it the Chevys running the DEF setup have not had nearly as many emissions issues? And they all get 20MPG+ stock? They can't do as many regens can they? Don't get me wrong, I am a die hard cummins guy.

    Woes of getting a smarty????

    Dang. I was really wanting to get rid of this DPF garbage. Guess this will be the end of Diesel trucks for me. Cummins should have never made this DPF garbage to begin with. Should have just used DEF from the 2007. 5 on. Oh well. Sad time for Dodge guys. I have had Cummins trucks for 15 years...

    Woes of getting a smarty????

    I have wanted to get a Smarty for my 2010 for years. I was finally getting ready to pull the trigger, then I ran across this info. So my question is... . I can still buy a Smarty Jr ME online. I am a little nervous though. If I run into a code or issue, am I pretty much just screwed?

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Low oil pressure? Pic attached

    I have a 1998 12V with 197k miles on it. I run 15-40Delo oil in it. When its cold it idles with higher oil pressure. When it is warm it stays above 40 all the time when I am driving. When I come to a stop light or down to idle when its warm it falls to the low line. I have had twice when I was...
