Man, that thing is WHITE!!

It's blueish gray again.  I really love the Shadow Gray Metallic.  I get a lot of great comments on the color.

Picked mine up about a month ago.  Loving it so far.  My only gripe would be a somewhat noisy steering column.  I'm not sure if it's the digital steering assist, but mine seems to make a kind of "hissing" sound when turning the wheel.  Haven't been able to find others with same issue, so I'm wondering if something may be wrong with mine.

Mine makes the hissing sound.  Once I start driving it goes away and comes back when I stop.

I’ve noticed that the new mirrors whistle a little but that’s it.
 

Also, finally got mine in off the lot. FYI for those with a multipro tailgate, check out tailgatefix.com. I am not affiliated, just like the product. It protects your tailgate from hitches.

That looks awesome!  What are the specs?  Lift? Wheel offset, Tire size.  Makes me want to re-think mine!

Thanks! The stance is exactly what I was wanting and hoping for.

Wheels: Fuel Rebel, 22x10, -18 offset
Tires: Nitto Ridge Grappler, 325/50R22, it’s basically a 35x13

Lift: Readylift 3/2 kit. I’m not entirely stoked on the kit. Aesthetically yes it’s exactly what I wanted, it’s perfect. But I’m looking for more ride quality. It’s good on for normal driving but things like speed bumps you can tell the travel is limited.

I did partially expect this though, I need something to fit my wheels haha, end goal would be Icons with BDS, but same height.

don't have a whistling sound from mirrors but I noticed my passenger side mirror closes faster then my drivers side for some reason.

Yeah it does!

I still see no Double Cabs around in the inventory yet, well, a bunch of Work Trucks, but not interested in a WT. IF I trade, that would be my cab desire, probably long bed. Far and few between.

Yup mine passenger side closes faster as well. Sounds like that's normal since it's the same for all of us, which is odd haha.

maybe cause they are not the same distance out - would make sense. they are not even 

They aren’t?? I thought they were the same size. They look identical to me

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

    • 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.
