It is the first 2500, but the problem is one I've dealt with since my '08..."Rancho" chronically under-valves their shocks, and you end up with wheel hop over small irregularities beacause the shock can't control the wheel. I absolutely expect a stiffer ride, and over all it's amazing how well...

So...due to a family emergency, I just got the chance to drive the new rig from NH to Illinois. Put 1100 miles on it yesterday. It was a nice chance to break it in, and get to know it. pulled 18.5 MPG unloaded for the trip with the cruise set at 76MPH, once i cleared the green mountains. My...

awesome, thank you!

Can I borrow it in a couple weeks? :)

nice...did you buy the "torsion bar unloader" tool?

hahaha, awesome! :) on a different topic, what'd you go with to level yours?

oh...as an added bonus, my front weathertechs and my tonneau fit the new truck. score :)

I thought you might. :) These are even FANCY with the black highlights :)

Thanks! :thumbs:

Thanks! I drove both the 6.0 and the Dmax. once I drove the dmax, it was all over. I was able to beat them up pretty good on price though, so I'm happy. :) This thing rides nicer than my 1500 did. It's *amazing*. Thanks for all the advice, i appreciate it :) A wheel thread is probably not...

Probably. :naughty:

Thanks so much for the feedback guys, i really appreciate it :)

I was hoping you would respond :) So...define hills. Alaska/Rockies hills? if so, then no. It will be mostly Appalachian nubs out east here. :) I guess my question for you would be: if you hadn't upgraded to towing a small mansion and if you didn't do any work related towing...if it was...

I would have been disappointed if you hadn't made this comment. :)

Cool, the gasser is pretty much where my head (and wallet) is at. Just mostly trying to avoid the "shit i should have gotten the diesel" 9 months from now. The more i look into the 2500s though, the 6L really isn't falling that short of the diesel, until you start towing a LOT. Also...I...

Hello folks, So we're pretty much decided on buying a 30 foot toy hauler. GVWR between 9.5 and 10k. This is right at/slightly over the limits of the current rig. I'm not interested in playing the upgrade game with the current truck, so why not buy a new truck too. I'm looking at 2500HDs, and...

looks great! :)

not today, but over the last week: Sierra: new front brakes at 34k miles. pad was sticking on driver's side and killed the outer pad fast. acadia: new front struts (thanks rock auto!), new shoes (conti contact LX20) and alignment.

Yeah, its weird for sure!

It does, and I have it disabled. I can turn mine on and off through the entertainment system. I'm betting there's a way to disable it on your bike too.

Will there be a burnout involved? :dunno:

Thanks for the info...worked out well that it looked full to me anyway. :) As far as the fuel dilution, hadn't thought of that...will definitely be conservative with my change interval if that's the case!

Spec actually calls for 8.5 quarts :eek:, but it showed full after the 8. I don't know why, but Direct Injection engines seems to require more oil than regular FI cars. My S4's engine was only 3.0L but it took 7 freakin quarts of oil too. But yeah...needless to say I'm glad I don't commute...

Sure does. make a guy wonder what a maggy would sound like in a pickup doing a burnout. :skull:
