No Joke

For the next time someone tells me, "I didn't buy my truck to get good fuel economy". Add, you didn't buy it to haul, tow or offroad either. :crackup:

Most people bought trucks and SUVs because their neighbors did. Later because it’s intimidating driving a car you don’t feel safe down there when the other vehicles sit up high. I drive a truck mostly because that’s what I driven most of my life for work. A big V-8 monster. I been lucky enough that I own different types of vehicles. I believe the perfect vehicle is the minivan. It’s almost like a sports car. It’s quick hauls almost anything. The gas mileage is almost economy car like. Yet I heard soccer mom vehicle enough that I walk past it to my truck. Once I get behind the wheel I get impressed every time. Although I drive it to a different walking park when I drive it. Look at that sissy driving the minivan. When I jump out of the Avalanche I get the thumbs up. Look at that clean old truck. He’s a truck man. The V-8 rumble its like a drug, I need that fix.

Im trading off my trail boss. Anyone want it? I can deliver then fly home for free.  Thanks AA.  So I am trading my truck because I am to crippled to work it anymore. Buying a CARMAX 2015 Nissan Armada that has 10.4" of min ground clearance and will lay back seats down for a van type vehicle.  Seems every dealer wants the trail boss lioke the 4 cylinder turbo cause they don't fail like the 6.2.   Up here it gets near 30 mpg if driven properly. 

I'll net about $7500 on the trade.  My GF is leaving me and I'll be alone again.  I don't care cause I am survivorl.

Ok the girl friend thing is a bad deal. Explains the over reaction on my truck thread. I’ve been married over 50 years and can’t imagine losing my partner. So we’ll see how it goes. I was attempting to post a lighthearted thread and it blew up.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
