    Throttle Pedal Cutting out Under Load

    Have you ever cleaned the EGR valve? I had a dead pedal issue with my truck. Same location on my drive home. Not everyday, but several times. Had to pump the pedal a few times before it came back to life. Talked with the service manager at a dealer who used to be a diesel mechanic at the same...

    Drilling Frame for new receiver hitch

    B&W makes good equipment. I like how they designed the hitch to tuck up close to the factory hitch.

    it’s not. Funny, you’re the second person to see that from that picture. I think the rust makes it look messed up

    aisin life

    2017 with 5700 miles. Only the dealer had touched it. Or maybe whoever they had install the B/W gooseneck also. I had just driven 35 miles, some off that on interstate.

    Looks like that is the short bed version. No issues with the Curt? How long I don’t want to mess with WD hitches.

    I’m probably overthinking it. I tend to do that. Tighten the bolts down and watch it. And get a tongue weight scale to check my trailers

    I have an email into Draw Tite. See what they say The other option is the Curt. Uses all existing holes and has more tongue weight. Bad thing is it hangs down under OEM hitch(don’t have to remove oem unit) 5”. Ground clearance isn’t an issue but appearance would be a little goofy
