Thanks to all for the help. I'm looking forward to changing out the lubes!!

Hope this is the right spot to post this. I used Amsoil in my 95 and am getting ready to swap over in my 06. The question I have is what part #'s correspond to the 06. I looked at the website and I'm not sure which ATF is the right one. I also want to put in one of their drop in airfilters, part...

Has anyone found a replacement for the OEM wood paneling in the 06. Would like to find a black panel replacement but have not been able to locate.

Where are you finding the grill for $180?? Would love to get ahold of one for my 06. Thanks.

Thanks for the info guys! I've just been trying to figure out if the 315's are worth the lower rpm's when dealing with freeway traffic. I still wonder about the towing with them in overdrive. My truck has the juice but even on the flats it means towing fast to keep the truck safely above...

Hey thanks for the info!! Patriot Diesel - Do you tow with your set up and if you do how heavy and do you use OD?? Thanks again for the info. My transmission is currently a BD but I may run up to Canada later this year for DTT.

I was wondering if anyone out there is running 315/75/16 with an auto and 3. 54's in the diffs? I ran this size for awhile but found cruising unloaded at 55-65mph in traffic had the engine RPM between 1450 and 1550. This is unloaded and I tended to have to shift my trans manually with the...

Hello all!! I know there has been a lot written about towing mirrors. I'm interested in whether any one has tried the 03 power flip up mirrors on a 2nd gen truck. I realize the electrical is not a direct plug but can the mirrors physically fit? Powervision is a possibility, as are the...

Hello all, Last night I was getting on to the freeway and the truck started to vibrate and buck up and down violently (e-ticket ride at Disneyland). It was an uphill on-ramp and I was getting on the throttle pretty good. I honestly thought the truck was going to come apart! It continued even...

BPINE, Thanks for the further info. At 63mph I'm turning 2300 rpm with the 3. 54's and 33's. The splitter would be the ultimate addition! It's just a bit spendy right now and with 150,000 on the odometer it may wait till the next truck. It sounds like 3rd gear and a little slower mph is just...

Thanks for you reply. I see you have 4. 10's, a 5spd transmission, and a splitter. So I'm guessing that means at 23,000 GCWR that you must be in approx. 4th over? I realize that 2100 - 2250 seem to be ideal towing rpm for the 12 valve, but those rpm's are governed by gearing. At those rpm's in 4th...

Hello All, I have a 1995 3/4 ton x-cab 4X4 w/ 3. 54's turning 285/75's. Currently running a BD 300/3000 pump with 215 injectors. The trans has BD converter and VB set up to match the motors grunt - Mystery switch allows me to enjoy the exhaust brake. I pull a boat that weighs in at...

Thanks a lot for the advice!! I'll take a crack at the underhood main cables (after I find a bootstrap!!) and see if I can locate the weak spot. Thanks again.

Hello All, I've got a 95 4X4 auto w/ 137,000 on the odometer. Got in the truck to leave work today and turned the key, all appropriate lights came on, finished turning the key and everything went dead! It wouldn't even turn over. Pulled the key out, reinserted and still got nothing (did this...
