  1. Here, finally found it. Sent from above
  2. I’d try and do a test run first, you’ll then know cause it’ll be to late once you drive off and on the road. I’ve got a couple diesels at work and I’m back with another 1500 but 6.2 and it’s a toy now and NEVER for towing anything like that TT ever again. Good luck and most of all be safe Sent from above
  3. First TT Then the Winnebago with the DMax after a long 1200 mile trip. Sent from above
  4. I ran out and bought the newly redesigned 14 as soon as it came out, boasted about towing blah blah blah. It was a 14 CC, 5.3, 6 speed, 3:42 rear and one day the kids wanted me to take them to Holiday World in Willis Tx. They fell in love with a 32’ TT and on it was a big sign with “HalfTon Towable”, I thought I’d surprise them so I wrote out a big check and picked it up very next day. I bought the Distribution Hitch along with other crap. I noticed driving it home to surprise the family it was really heavy and somewhat unpredictable but thought weighing only 7K lbs shouldn’t be a problem. Speeding along, kids loved it etc etc. While driving (family in another vehicle) a 300 mile trip to a camping sight caused me to smoke a full pack of cigarettes.... I don’t smoke but the stress of towing this trailer was horrendous! This 7k trailer should’ve been easily towed behind this newly advanced truck claiming to tow 9k, NOT! It completely slapped the 1500 around like a rag doll. I sold it a week later which was one of the happiest days of my life. Btw, I also only got maximum 5 mpg’s...5 MPG’S!!!! Ended up filling up half way to Dallas and another in FortWorth...HA! Ran out and bought a brand new LTZ Z71 DMax, picked up a new 9k Winnebago 5th wheel and the slapping around like a rag doll never ever happened again but reversed. The 1500’s are great trucks but do not recommend towing more than 6k in one without doing a lot of mods like airbags etc. Sent from above
  5. Great looking truck Sent from above
  6. That’s great. I’ve never had a leak. Sent from above
  7. Look great, good job! Sent from above
  8. 2018 SLT CC, Premium Package, Z71 4X4, 6’6”Bed, Tuned 6.2 with a 4.5” CST Lift, CST front coilovers and rear piggybacks, Fuel 20X9 wrapped with 295/60/20 (34”) Nitto Ridge Grapplers,...etc etc Sent from above
  9. I’d stay clear from the wireless setup, fixed dual gauges under steering wheel is what I had and worked great. Just make sure to get the dual gauges that are lit up. Sent from above
  10. Had the FireStone AirBags on my DMax with remote in cab switches. I loved it when towing my 5th Wheel and especially during rainy days it was very convenient not ever having to get out, standing outside in bad weather manually filling air bags that literally needed resetting air pressure. Very convenient but not if you’re towing once or twice a year. Sent from above
  11. Being just braces for the magnetic ride, I bet you can use another manufacturer for the magnetic ride using just braces and use other higher end coilovers like CST or King to provide the actual leveling. Sent from above
  12. Good to hear Sent from above
  13. Identical purchase, great to hear they’re that good. Sent from above
  14. Are they the T10’s or T15’s? Sent from above
  15. I don’t have racing HP mods on my truck giving reason to dig around. My tunes are strictly modest besides, once I decide on whether or not to do the supercharger then that’s when I’ll look into having discussions with the dealership. My most recent trip to the dealership was for an electrical issue and put my truck up on a diagnostic machine running all sorts of tests and aside of a wiring issue all was good. I believe and support that if someone mods their vehicle then that’s their choice and should not be ridiculed for just having a difference of opinion. Sent from above
  16. Btw, I’m looking into possibly doing a supercharger down the road. It’s soon to be another toy that’s fun to drive but that’s the issue I’m having now, so fun to drive and gets sooooo many stares and compliments that it’s difficult leaving it in the garage as it is.

  17. Thank you, they’re 295/60/20’s (34”) lol and yes, road trips sometimes 21.9. It’s the SuperChips tune that helped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I don’t agree with that in addition I’ve got 12 company vehicles that visit dealerships for all sorts of service issues and each and everyone of them is can tuned and yet to this day no issues. My wife’s Yukon having a tune for the past 3 years with multiple visits to the dealership for motor, electronics etc and still no issues brought up. Besides, tuning your vehicle helps keep it from visiting the dealership. The End On another note Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. How many want to lift their trucks so they can go off-road without having limitations that would otherwise damage their trucks under chassis components? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I know of it, never had any issues with a can tune. Besides, aside of this discussion going off path, I’ve got a great relationship with my service dealerships and it’s got to be proven that what you’ve done is what has caused your issues, SuperChips even gives a great warranty as well in the event your stuck with the bill. So many already existing issues as it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Good to know, hasn’t happened yet. Besides, it’s got to be proved that you didn’t just program for larger tires. Don’t want to get into a discussion about it and go off topic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. F5, yes you can adjust for tire size. Go online and check it out, very sweet device. I keep mine in its case locked up in the truck. Pull over right before getting to dealership and then do warranty work or servicing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I meant doing the CST and use another little setup for the magnetic ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
