Can anyone tell me what the cut in the oil pan gasket (kind of looks like a jig saw puzzle piece) at the bottom right corner of the picture by the corner bolt hole is for? My old gasket did not have this.

  NHT is diesel only, correct. The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons. A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs. Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles. Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12". All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.

  For most of you, this is probably outside your realm of interest, but, maybe you can appreciate it. The hood and wheels aren't something I'm interested in, but someone made a very rowdy Audi S4... amazing sound. These were/are very fun cars for the money. Not going to lie, I'm getting an itch to own a newer Audi RS3. The 5-cylinder will be changing, or going away, at the end of this year.

  Is your truck connecting to your home wifi, or cell phone hot spot, or a onstar data package? It needs some way to connect to the internet to download the updates

  I am looking at replacing my back up camera on my 2017 from Camera Source. Have any Canadians here ordered from them, and if so how were the duties charged. I am ok with taxes etc but sometimes the duties charged can be more than the parts.
