    Seat...what are my options?

    I am in the same boat regarding my seat, but this would be the first re-build for me. I am just shy of 80K and anticipate this will be a reoccurring issue. How do the air ride seats hold up? How long can I expect it to last? Also, where do you recommend purchasing them from? Thanks in advance.

    Regarding the gauges: Trans Temp helps you ensure you can catch problems before they become catastrophic. Boost is nice to have - I highly suggest you read the TDR article on the "Boost Treadmill" I found that it provided a cheap and effective means of diagnosiing if there is a problem with...

    New Dodge Long Haul

So in reality the concept of detuning the engine, putting less fuel through it to increase longevity (the way I understand it), would apply to the drive train as well (in this case tq). What about the power needed to tow the load with an increased GCWR? Is it...

    New Dodge Long Haul

    I know you can currently buy the 5500 with a pick-up box I have seen them at dealerships online - it does not have the extra features mentioned in the article and comes with the commercial engine.

    New Dodge Long Haul

    AH64ID - I did notice that - it appears this is a truck they a marketing to Joe public more so than business/fleet managers (despite the article being in their magazine). I don't think they would be enthusiastic about the de-tuned commercial version of the CTD. IMHO Joe public is much more into...

    Katzkin Leather Seat Question

    Thanks for the input EWingertsahn. I guess like anything there are tradeoffs. I do like the look of the Katzkin seats and the customization you can do for a fairly reasonable price.
