Everything about that seems perfectly normal to me.

You can get 20% off every day without trying too hard on ANY new truck, including the one that was produced yesterday. So, I would expect a significantly larger discount on a 2015 just because I would....BUT let me throw out another perspective: If you're a high mileage driver, or someone who...

Finding CB antennas "in the wild" these days is pretty much limited to truck stops and Amateur radio shops (although not all Ham shops want anything to do with CB, and others are quite happy playing both sides.) Major truck stops (T/A, Petro, Flying J, Pilot, Sapp Brothers, etc.) will almost...

As someone who's completely on the fence about "over or under" (be it toilet paper OR oil filters), I do enjoy reading all the whys and why nots. When gsbrockman mentioned, "for my truck..." this hit me: The difference between the cooler line routing for the 68RFE vs. the Aisan equipped trucks...

Also have a serious look at the shop environment before you choose a painter. Not only is the quality of the materials (sandpaper, tape, etc.) often forgotten or missed, but the overall shop environment matters more than you can imagine. I'm not just talking about a clean paint booth either...

Thanks for the update -- right after I posted that, I got to wondering if the WB was still the same. I knew in the pre "true crew" trucks the mega/short was the same length as the "4-door long" combo. 9" is potentially a difference, but I suppose on a truck with a 13'+ wheelbase it's not that...

Since your original question is between the Mega (SB) and the crew (LB), you're not talking about a difference in wheelbase or turning radius -- thus driving the truck (and parking it) are the same either way. That said, I've had exactly one truck in my life with less than an 8' bed, and I...

I know there are fixes for trucks up to 2015. I don't know if it's been successful on a '16 or '17. It's not a removal though; it's a reset of the threshold...which solves the problem. My 2015 2500 is now configured for a benchmark of 65 PSI front, and 55 PSI rear. This allows me to drop my...

Wouldn't that only attract MORE vermin?

WOW, that's a stretch...

I think things may be a little different between a California checkpoint "hosted" by an agency without power of arrest vs. a traffic stop in New York by an actual officer of the court/LEO. That said, about the only "out" I can think of as a universal is refusing to participate in the testing...

I had an aftermarket spray-in liner put in mine, and I can use my GN attachments just fine. Haven't tried a fifth-wheel yet, but can't see any reason it won't work just fine.

I do. To be fair, I usually do it on a stretch of road I won't be making any turns on... Just long enough to feel comfortable that everything's still working. I've had a few glitches over the last nearly 30 years with 4x4 units, especially the ones with electrical connections -- usually broken...

No real "NEED" to cycle into 4x4 per se... BUT, for the little effort it takes to pull it into 4-High for a few miles around town, I think it's a good preventative. I do it about once every couple of weeks -- pretty much just when I think about it, and realize it's been a while. Mostly because...

By Texas standards (Which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the price of eggs in Virginia), front-end components are checked on total performance/slack/slop. As in NY, the ball joints could have .250 slack as long as the total slop in the front-end is within spec. And, IME, most of us wouldn't...
