    Stock Bed On A Chassis Cab?

    Anybody know if you can put a stock dually bed over the chassis cab frame? I know the wheel bases are longer for the chassis cab so there will be a gap between the cab and bed but what I'm wondering is if the bed will clear the frame. I was thinking of fabricating a filler box to go between the...

    200,000 Mile Extended Warranty From D/C ?????

    Went to one of the local Denver Dodge dealer that sells lots of trucks in Brighton, CO yesterday. Was test driving chassis cabs w/ 6. 7.

    What to get my truck for christmas? - '06 making noise!

    Got a "new noise" coming from under the hood the last few days on my '06. It's a sort of whiny, slightly grindy noise and seems to be coming from the front of the engine. almost like a power steering pump when it runs low but mine is full. Sounds like an old time hand crank siren. I guess the...

    Need current maps for tomtom navigator, cheap!

    I got the edge A2 with tomtom navigation but they say the maps are last year's version. Seems to me like they are older than that! I live in a neighborhood that was built 3 years ago and it doesn't even show up! You can go to tomtom.com and download the full U. S current map but it's 120 bucks...

    I just installed an afe stage 2 and juice w/attitude in my 2006 qc 3500 drw. I'm thinking about having the local exhaust shop replace the muffler & cat with raw pipe.

    Tips for installing EGT probe.

    I am installing the new egt probe that came with my edge monitor on my '06 3500. The instructions show to drill the hole in the exhaust manifold just forward where the front and rear banks meet at the dump point of the manifold. There is no way I can get a drill in there because the clearance...

    Best Power Programmer? Bully vs. Banks vs. Edge vs. Hypertech etc.

I don't have any gauges in the truck now...
