This is exactly what happens with mine. It feels like it just simply misses 3rd gear sometimes and falls flat on its face. Dealer says it's operating within design parameters, they drove it and said it's fine. Last time it was in for an oil change they had a software update and it drove...
My trucks tend to average 30% idle time. This is due to remote start + leaving it on in the winter when I am running errands (I don’t like to get into a cold truck). It tends to be the same for me whether it’s a gas or diesel truck.
Our fleet trucks are more like 50% idle time.
Thanks. My garage floor is epoxied. I am not going to do that in my shop building since it’s too large. So I am looking for alternatives that can be parked on top of and also taken outside to clean off occasionally.
Update - I went with the gladiator cabinets but I went with the special order white and gray. Very happy with them so far.
Now that it’s approaching winter I am wondering if any of you use parking mats? My shop is heated and the floor is sloped towards the door but there are no drains. I like...
I tried doing this with my dealer but they won’t play ball. Just over 10,000 miles on a 2021 lariat with 7.3. They offered me 7k less than I paid for the truck. When I said I wanted to get what I paid, they agreed but then said they’d markup the new truck by the same amount. They’re only moving...
This is similar to a quote I got on windows and doors recently. Two vendors were about $9k each. The third estimate was a sale price of $26k, original price was $40k. Not sure how they’re even in business.
I manage a large grounds maintenance company primarily servicing large commercial/industrial sites.
Also dabble in real estate - single family rentals and flips. Was actually able to find a good deal in this market (paying cash). Haven’t been actively looking but it felt right and made an...
I am starting to gear up for snow removal season. Have you guys installed any of these kits yet, if so what do you think?
Also, do you have any experience with aftermarket reverse sensors or reverse cameras/monitors that I can add onto older trucks?
Just found this thread looking for a stubby antenna. Went into a parking garage today for a construction meeting and parked on second floor and went up the stairs. 7’ clearance. The truck was clear, about 1/4” from the top of the Sirius/modem things on top of the roof. Now my antenna is beat up...
Garden fresh sliced zucchini, onion. Pan fried in oil with kielbasa, seasoned with some local stuff. A few Busch lights. Only thing missing was sweet corn and tomato/cottage cheese this time of year.
I have a built up ‘08 6.4 diesel and a 2021 7.3. I have pulled the same dump trailer loaded with 5 tons of material and the 7.3 feels like it can barely manage. Maybe I am just way too used to a built up diesel vs a stock gas motor. But even the brakes feel weaker on the new truck. Dealership...
