6,000 pound front axle rating!!

 

Even diesels can safely handle a decent size plow!

 

I really like the front bumper too, my truck just got in an accident and the front bumper and grille are being replaced, unfortunately I can't imagine those parts will be available for some time, or it would be a nice swap.

 

I think I'd like to swap my truck for a 2011 crew cab diesel if I got the right deal.

What's a CCSB 4x4 with the new LML going to retail for? I bet we'll see at minimum 50K sticker for a minimal optioned one. This is getting ridiculous. I remember 10 years ago when a pickup that cost $30K was outrageous. Now you can't find a used one for that! The new exhaust emmision stuff scares me as well. You know that's going to be big bucks to fix if you have problems as you'll have to take it to the qualified dealer to diagnose. I can see the gassers starting to make a comeback now. I just cannot understand whey they can't make a larger displacement gasser with improved mileage/power. They are so much simpler to maintain. But it's all a marketing thing. They can make a lot more on the initial cost of the diesel when new and then over the life of the vehicle when the warranty expires and it costs $5K to replace the injectors, transmission, etc.

I heard that Toyota is coming out with an HD version of there junk....anyone here anything about that?

 

Toyota pulled the plug on it in 09 when diesel prices in the US went to 4.50+/gallon... had a Hino diesel in it. It may still be on the back burner... This is the SEMA HD Tundra.

I think we are going to see a larger displacement gas engine come out for model year 2012, there has been talk about something 7.0 liters or larger that could be produced "easily" for truck applicationspossibly of larger displacement gas engine for hd's

 

here's a link to what has been talked about,

Ford's 2011 superduty will have a 6.2 gasser putting out over 400 hp and 400 tq. I would believe that GM will put out a gas motor that will compete a little better than the 6.0 currently does. Though it is a great motor....

I would love to have a diesel but they cost more than I paid for my house. :angel: The sticker on my 09 2500 6.0 was over $34,000 and that is with no power windows or locks. I never would have bought it if they didn't knock nearly $9,000 off the sticker.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
