So, the guys at Discount have replaced them with a set of Toyo AT2's 285/70-17's. I'll get a photo up when they arrive.

Back to stock size no 35's?

Can't remember if the magnets move closer together or farther apart when locker is engaged. It's been a hundred years since I had my cover off last. The sensor moves away from the target magnet when the locker is engaged, so if it's right on the edge of the magnetic field to start with and then thi...

I'll give Randy's a shout I wish there was a capable shop I put a request in at the dealership to see how much they would charge to rebuild it if I supplied all the parts Doesn't hurt to ask the dealer but they usually only do a swap with an already rebuilt factory unit and send yours back as a cor...

If you have stock tires I would run at factory recommended pressure while towing what does it say on your door sticker?

If you don't like anything OEM you can call the tire manufacture and they can provide the load carrying capacity and corresponding tire pressure range for your tires.

A word of caution, NEVER use anything metal(shackle, hook, etc.) to connect winch line/rope together.

What are you supposed to use then? If you use a damper or two not sure why this is a problem please advise.

Says the winch is rusted and cable won’t come out...wonder if a good dousing in PB Blaster would free the winch cable? Current bid $5K...tempting If the winch goes in but not out it's most likely the thermal disconnect switch is not working it can be easily bypassed. It's a common problem on early ...

Got your truck congrats, looks nice! How do you compare it to the 14?

I have the locker bypass on my 3 Gen and it works about the same as before 5-10 seconds per axle though it randomly takes a little longer. The 3 Gen locker bypass simply tricks the computer into reading the transfer case position sensor is in 4Low that's all. I'm not sure if the 4 Gen bypass in more...

Locker bypass is the best thing you can do to these trucks outside of disabling the abs when offroad. My 15 was never super fast to lock, but it wasn't super slow. The bypass locks near instantly. If the below is correct they didn't lock any faster the light just came on as soon as you turned the s...

Shit, if you’re going to spend 3k you can get a factory new transmission

Out the door you'd be looking at about $5500 for a dealer to do the swap so that's almost double.

Oil pressure sensor going bad?

I would take it to a reputable local transmission shop, with good reviews, etc. and have them rebuild yours that way they are nearby if there are any issues. Having to pull the transmission and ship it back an out of town company when there a issue is a major pain and expense. I have checked into th...

No, these are Pintops for the front only currently.

Thanks, nice upgrade!

My understanding is anything larger than 2.5's would be too large to fit through, without hitting, the rear shock holes in the frame has that be addressed somehow?

Nice truck, welcome!

Seems like they used to have cooler accessories. What happened there? Like 3rd gens had Mopar sliders... I remember those cargo boxes they were a good idea but I never saw a truck that had them. I love my mopar "rock rails" as they were called, but people didn't want to buy them until they stopped ...

You should be able to see if the going to work or not. Pull the fender liners and you should have a good view of everything. I took a look and the passenger side header is very close to the frame the only potential problem I see is not being able to pull the bolts all the way out before they make c...

My 2011 is probably identical to yours, they didn’t really change much on the engine. I easily did mine without lifting the engine. Some bolts you have to get from underneath but they’re all very accessible. I ordered some new hardware to swap them out at M8x1.25-45mm. That’s the stock length but t...

I am thinking of replacing the exhaust manifold bolts/studs before they break. The shop manual says to remove exhaust manifold you need to lift the engine up. I would like to remove the old bolts and put in new one without removing the manifold and gasket. Does anyone know if this can be done withou...

Hello TommyG,

A 3/4 ton 4x4 that is six years old, those don't seem like unreasonable repairs especially if you 'go off road. If it was me I would replace the other hub they usually fail pairs Rockauto has good prices, SKF makes the Mopar hubs.

The track-bar can pop when loose/worn especially the drivers side bushing.

What you described above is pretty much Carli's suspension design philosophy "softer ride with more control and bottom-out resistance in the backcountry". Do you plan on getting their rear coils too? Yup! I've had a pair of their rear 3" coils sitting on my rack for a while now. I picked these up f...

Can't wait to get these shiny shocks dirty! If all goes well, we're going to try and hit the road this weekend! On road, the feel is very similar to stock, but the harshness of cracks in the road or expansion joints is gone. On my way home yesterday, I deliberately hit this BIG dip by home (big as ...
