The Firestones worked great in a ice storm we had to travel in in Feb. from East Texas to Fort Stockton to Midland and back. Even had the truck and camper sideways on the freeway at one time. Recovered great after the heart skipped. Looking for something to last a little longer.

I know the tire issue gets old but if we didn't ask how could we learn? Bought a 2015 3/4 ton in November of 2014. Came with Firestone Transforce tires on it. Currently have 19,900 miles on them have rotated them twice and they are wore out but wear evenly. Just want a few suggestions o what...

First problem popped up about a week ago. Bought truck one month ago. Radio works fine with key in a/c position. With engine on and running radio screen went to a blank blue color. Even backup camera would not work. Started working then stopped again. Took back to dealer and they said they...

Looking for a location to mount a full size CB radio in new 2015. Thinking under the dash to the right of steering column but then it would be in wifes way and plastic might not hold it. Also thinking of mounting it on the left side of the center hump next to the 4x4 shift lever but don't know...

Just bought a 2015. Didn't own the 2012 long enough to learn much about the 6.7. On the 2015 6.7 do you need to clean the EGR. Noticed that Genos has a cleaning kit for the EGR on 07.5-2012. Not sure yet what I'm gonna have to do that is different from my 2004.5. Always gotta learn something...

Rancn Hand has come out with a step bar that moves the pad out from under the truck for better accesability. My wife had dealership chrome ones on her 1500 and hated them. We bought the Ranch Hands for her 2012 3/4 and they were a direct swap to the new 2015. They did sqeek when we had them...

Just came back from a trip to Bandera Tx. Spent more time dodging the deer than I did sight-seeing. They raise deer down there like some people raise cattle. LOL. I want to put a whole new bumper on but wife doesn't. LOL

Just traded wifes 2012 for a 2015. Looking for a great grill gaurd. Didn't want to replace whole front bumper. Looking for a good sturdy one that when you push on the side bars they don't contact the fenders. Might as well not have'm if they do that. Anyone making bumpers and grill gaurds for...

Just traded in my wifes 2012 3/4 for a 2015 3/4. Love the new suspension. Even tho we've only had it 4 days. LOL Gotta keep her happy! Right? It is a tradesman which is the old ST trim model I think. Does anyone know where I can get one and if I can put an electric drivers seat in it. I just...

After reading current issue/RV articles on tires I knew I needed to post this and to ask further advice. We (wife & I)bought a new Forest River 28 ft. travel trailer in Feb. 2013. We live in East Texas. We have taken several short trips this past year and only 3 over 1500 miles. 2 weeks ago...

transmission/ Gears How do I figure out which transmission is in it and what the gear ratio is?

Dealer service department said that there are 2 filters. One on the block in the same location as my 04 and one on the frame? Weather has been to nasty to crawl under and look. Guess I need to read up on the exhaust break???

Wife just traded in her 2012 1500 hemi for a 2012 2500 4x4 with the 6.7L. I own a 2004 2500 with the 5.9L and know it like the back of my hand, do my own oil and fuel filter changes and such, BUT, when I looked under the hood of this truck, I know nothing about it. What are some of the things...

Also does the fuel system operate the same as in relation to locations of pumps, filters and such? I hate starting all over just when I thought I was getting ahead of the game. lol
