Not a ton of call vs the shorter bed plus they only build those in flint. 

That is something I did not know.  I thought they also built long beds in Oshawa.

I heard that on here and also on truck king YouTube channel they had to go see their truck being built in flint because it was a long bed and they live up in Canada.

All my previous trucks were built in Flint, but my '22 & '24 were built in Canada, or at least it stated "Final Destination", which my salesman said that is where they do the spray-in bedliners. No more "Proudly Made In Flint, Michigan" stickers on my doors.

Your salesman was being a salesman and smoothing you over making it seem like it just had a Bedliner sprayed in Canada. Is that was they were trying to say? That’s bogus if so. Flint building flint. Oshawa built at that plant. 
 

he probably lost sales for guys only wanting a truck built here.

I just thought all HD 2500's were built in Flint, but apparently not. I'd rather them be built in Flint, but don't care that it was built in Canada, north of the border better than south of the border...

Really appreciate ya’ll for the knowledge and responsiveness on this site!

 

Had some serious issues with my dealer…didn’t want to let me order one and instead wait to source one in the tri state / surrounding area.

 

Sub optimal communication…like folks have forgotten to simply do what they said they’ll do / when they said they’ll do it.

 

Got lucky and about a month after first dealer visit (mid-JAN)…took custody (today) of this 2500 Ultimate in rush metallic. IMG_3583.thumb.jpeg.3aa8d5d909b116f95a2d970531341895.jpeg Came in from somewhere out of state…built in Flint.

 

Has gooseneck and snow plow package 

 

New blacked out wheels (20 in), tailgate stereo and all weather floor mats installed next week. 
 

May over time…work some other mods but for now…just happy to have replaced the 2007 Tacoma Access Cab after 17 years.

 

Cheers

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
