My dad uses this truck to tow a 12k 5th wheel in Colorado (mountains). He has about 84k on his truck and added a k&n filter. He is considering an exhuast and maybe a chip. How do the transmissions in these trucks handle power mods and are there any common issues with these trucks that we should be aware of? Also any vendors you recommend for parts? Thanks in advance for any help.

  On a separate note... anyone had the experience while filling up and another customer finds the fake "scam screw" on their pump and they freak out, screaming at the attendant? Pure BS. Still too many many gullible people out there. The guy today made me want to hose him with gasoline and set him on fire. 🤣

  I see them do them all the time at work. Fuse won't fix a bad module. They recalled the power modules on the HDs for them failing on 2020-2024 HDs but they use the exact same module. We've done some 2024-2026 1/2 tons already that needed a new power module. Other possibility is corroded wiring. There's a spot the chassis harness runs to the back along the frame rail. We had a 2025 that had a bad section of wire there but I think it was for a different issue.

  I had asked the tech when I scheduled the appointment about adding the 40 amp fuse like the old days, he said he did not know and they need to see the truck! He acted like this has never happened before and was not a common failure?

  Absolutely. And they do look good on there. But if you are thinking of maybe going with another style, I like the idea of OE replica wheels mentioned above. Or even a set of OE take-offs from someone who has done a wheel swap. When I had my 2020 LT/Z71 crew cab, I considered swapping the base wheel for a set of 18" trail boss wheels. Some people don't like all black wheels but I really like the pattern. Of course now I have a TB so I don't think about swapping wheels anymore.
