Re: Transmission "Shift" solenoid pack?

I replaced my valve body with the same one posted above along with a new solenoid pack on my 2012. It is running great so far.

Re: FilterMag questions/ found loose part in rear diff. 3400 mi.

Changed my diff fluid recently and found my rear diff Filtermag was broken in half and had moved. Not sure what was going on, but I removed the front one and it snapped in half. I had not had any problems with them before, but I will not be running them any longer. I forgot to get picks when I was d...

Re: 2012 New to Me!

I recently did some upgrades to the truck. I am currently at 64K, so I decided during my transmission service, I would upgrade the valve body. I swapped it out with a HD towing model from Worldwide Specialty parts. I got a new solenoid through them as well. Finally, I had them replace the pan with a...

Re: 66RFE Downshift Hesitation/Shudder

Let us know how the new valve body works out. I have been thinking of preemptively changing mine before it has any issues. I was looking into the same part from World Wide Specialty.

Re: Fuel tank not accepting fuel.

When I bought my 2012 it had 19K miles on it and came from a dealership. I had the same issue when I left the dealer to fill up, so I went back. Their mechanic looked at it and said a vent hose on the gas tank was kinked. He straightened it out, and then it would take fuel. I didn't see exactly how ...

Re: EMF or Dynatrac Ball Joints?

I got the Dynatrac ones at the recommendation of my mechanic. They are pretty beefy and I had them replaced when I got new ball joints as part of warranty work. They just charged me the difference. I was happy the factory ones were loose. I looked at the EMF ones as well, and I think they would be a...

Re: Towing 8K lb trailer, Air Bags w/Cradles or WDH?

I made a trip to Mesa, AZ from CO and towed my 7,000lb Coachmen Freedom Express travel trailer. I used my Airlift airbags in conjunction with my Andersen WD hitch. The Andersen hitch does not have bars and it does not transfer a ton a weight to the front. However, the anti-sway and anti-bounce is gr...

Re: Kenda Klever RT 35/12.50/R17E 121R

Just an update on the tires. We have had light snow and ice here, and even though these are not 3 peak rated tires, they do outstanding on icy road and snow. The overall ride is very good, and the mileage is doing better as well. The truck feels "lighter" when it is on the road compared to the STT P...

Kenda Klever RT 35/12.50/R17E 121R

I have been running my STT Pros for 20,000 miles and they started to become a little noisy and they were really not doing well in even a little snow and ice. Before they had been ok. Overall I really liked the look of the tires, but they were down from 21 to 12/32nds in wear. I really don't like run...

Re: Take a ride to my hunting camp in the Powerwagon

That sounds like a great time. I just got back from hunting elk, but I did more off roading this year than seeing elk. Oh well, it was fun to take my wagon on some snowy trails. It was a little colder than where you are, but fun none the less. Good hunting!
