    Anyone ever say "F" it and keep on driving? Mine seems louder than last summer, but I'm not going to even mess with it if they can't fix it.

    That's what they need. Seriously, seriously looking at the Ford mainly for the 10 speed and some ratio options.

    Installed the Timbrens and they're trash. Great on the smooth, level freeway. Add in a few canal crossings, RR tracks, etc you'll feel the sharp jolt of the axle contacting the Timbren.

    I keep checking in to see if there's a fix yet.....twelve months of lease left.

    Regular old Camco 1200. Works.

    You'd think an oil change and tire rotation is brain surgery......I can get an oil change done in 20 minutes dragging ass and the rotation done in another 20 with a floor jack and jackstand. If you don't have an hour of time available in your life, you should reconsider how you're living.

    I have a 99 with the 5.3. Everything is the same as you describe. I'd say all is well.

    I'll throw out a guess with the plethora of information provided........battery.

    Probably not going to get it high enough in the driveway. It's just too damn long. Sawsall at the transition up to go over the axle.

    Hard to imagine that people towed heavier travel trailers with a 350 3-speed. Your advertised tongue weight doesn't take into account all your stuff in the trailer, water, propane and batteries. Your actual tongue weight (including your four occupants) is probably close to or exceeding your payload. Welcome to 2500 territory. The 6.2 will pull it, but the ride and handling will be the same.

    The marketing gimmick of "half-ton towable" is really just that.

    Should probably turn your hearing aids up.

    Like installing a throttle body spacer. Good 'ol butt dyno/ride sensor. ?

    Drain and refilling twice would be considered a complete exchange of fluid

    Don't think the longevity and durability is proven yet for the diesel

    Bad luck and stop following so close.

    Mid-40's on the lease buy-out AFTER you make 25K in lease payments.

    Probably sounds pretty good for a 4.6l.

    Complains about a truck being 56K and then proceeds to smear orange silicone all over it and okie-fy it with a hose clamp. Maybe try bailing wire and bubble gum next? ? In all seriousness, straight dealer trip for warranty....zero out of pocket. Side note: If you didn't buy local, you often do not get priority service from the local dealer. They will get to you, but generally will not part the seas for you.

    Lower trims and gas engines will have higher payloads. If you get this truck, and put anything in the bed to go with your travel trailer, it WILL squat. If you wrench down on the WDH, you may get to level.

    Wix or a Napa (same thing)

    So, the entire nation?

    Perfectly fine. Those saying you need a 3/4 ton likely wear a helmet, knee/elbow pads to take a dump.
  24. bshort
    I tow a 6K trailer with an 800 pound tongue weight on stock tires. No sway. I do feel some slight sidewall flex, but it is not sway.

    Forgot it was even there....
