Chose the Double Cab standard bed because it seemed to look best proportioned (more like my old Avalanches) when adding the sport/light bar (which also best matches the Tungsten metallic) than when added to other profiles. Usually just myself and my wife and the 40/20/40 to accommodate my son in a pinch and any adult privileged to ride can get squashed in the second row.post-156616-0-47417400-1459894319_thumb.jpg

I really think it depends on the owners age. When I was 20 years old I wouldn't own anything but a RCSB. Now that I'm 40...whole different story. It's got to be a crew cab. And I don't care if it's short box or regular box. c13994189c48b71951fffd5d57722676.jpg

Beautiful truck JimmyJam! Me too I voted Crew Cab but I prefer it with a short bed.

It doesn't look the best until you level it and put wheels and tires on it but my vote is for a crew cab long bed, just because I haul and tow a lot so with my toolbox it would be the most practical of any of the trucks. Plus when they are leveled and sittin' pretty on some nice wheels and tires I think they look awesome

Double cab standard bed. The overall look of the truck looks the best to me. I have two teenagers and they fit back there. I need at least a standard bed so this works for me.

I'm a crew cab std bed guy. It's a no excuses truck, except if you have a small garage. My garage is 40x40ft so I have no issues there

Crew Cab 5'9" bed. But the Crew Cab 6'5" bed suits the HD's perfectly.

My vote is for the double cab standard 6'6" bed. I agree with the proportionality opinions but I was initially looking for a crew cab. Just couldn't pass up the deal on my double cab and I have since shifted my opinion.

It would be pretty sad if we all had the same taste! My particular combination, like some others in this poll, was influenced by the "deal". I have a cc standard box but would have settled on a short box if there was a good deal on one and it had other similar features. . The dc I think looked better with the previous generation doors. They now look like an undersized cc to me. Now if money was no object, there would be a CC 4 X4 Denali Diesel dually in my driveway!

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
