    Who to trust?

    You never gave the dealer a chance to troubleshoot it, they are not going to just go on tire plus's recommendation and swap a part (nor does the dealer know the history of the vehicle, and no they are not going to take your word on it). As far as keeping it, most all dealers are backed up so...

    question about flatbeds

    Do you know the manufacturer of the flatbed? If so call and ask them. My initial thought is No as they sell specific models for each truck .

    DEF, oil life gauge, and oil filter life gauge not working.

    With no load your DEF consumption will be minimal, also the gauge isn't linear so it will stay on full for a long time. Also, oil and fuel filters changes are 15k miles so you have barely used 10% of the life. So in short, nothing is wrong with your truck. .

    Lowering rear and getting a better ride.

    Lower your tire pressure a little when not hauling, that will help. Other then that welcome to HD trucks, they are made for hauling/towing heavy loads. If you don't really need that capability downsize to a 1/2 ton. Changing the springs is going to lower your payload to that of a 1/2 ton anyway...

    Beware of potential scammers. They are out there trolling wanted and for sale ads on all sites.

    Scammers have taken over the internet, it's easy money for them because people continue to fall for it no matter how many times you tell them. I manage a couple very popular truck and jeep pages on facebook and ban scammers by the dozens everyday but no matter how hard I try to protect people...

    6.7 cummins in limp mode

    You cannot just "reset" it. You need to scan it and see what codes it is throwing and fix them

    Gas vs Diesel

    I've always (up until brandon) been able to get diesel within a few cents (+/-) of the cheapest (85/87) gas, and certainly Always cheaper then premium. Right now it is slightly more then 85/87 and about the same as mid 89 octane gas (it varies +/- a few cents). .

    Gas vs Diesel

    Yeah, not sure what crap hole that guy lives in but up until the current administration diesel has always been the same or cheaper then gas except a few rare occasions. I've lived, traveled and worked all over this country for the past 30+ years. Also there is data to back that up, it's an easy...

    Gas vs Diesel

    I know you are a big "gas" guy but that's just a flat out lie. Seriously, statements like that are ignorant and don't do anything for your creditability on here. .,

    Gas vs Diesel

    Where the heck are you that diesel is a dollar more a gallon than gas? My local diesel is roughly the same price as mid grade gas right now. I just filled up yesterday for $3.49 a gallon .

    198000 miles engines seized up!

    Check and see if you grid heater cable is loose at the manifold... There is no "design flaw" more likely you have something else going on. Is the truck tuned? and modifications? More information on the truck and what happened would be helpful.

    Cruise control/turbo actuator

    Cruise control itself has nothing to do with the turbo/actuator, But just about any engine/powertrain code stored in the system will prevent cruise from working. The fact that you replaced a faulty actuator (which cleared the codes) is what fixed your cruise

    2025 Toyota 4runner Trailhunter

    Here is the 24 5th gen my wife just picked up but I'll be tempted to see what they will give us on a 6th gen. I know a lot of diehard 5th gen owners are hating on the new version and will be paying a premium for the "last of the good gen" as they say. lol. Included the Ram truck in the...
