You cant get one with the cummins.

There is suspicion that they have a newer diesel that will fit available in a year or two. We’ll see.

Stock. Not sure how much, but it’s a bit annoying, not a big deal.

After doing more research, I’m leaning towards the procal. It seems like it does everything I need it to without having to dig into my dash and install that bypass module. Did you have to install the bypass to use alfaobd? Yes. On an 18 it’s behind the radio. In theory there is a cable that allows ...

At the very least your speedometer will be off without reprogramming. Apparently the dealers can't fix TPMS, so you need one of several tools for that. I used Alfaobd, but tire size changes their are a little complex in it, and if you don't do it right you'll know it. TPMS is easy and it's very flex...

Can you damage the sway bar or radius arm if you rub on it with 37s? Damage the tires? What’s the negatives?

No, I have no experience with this.

I hope not. The drawback is that your turning radius gets bigger. But it saves $1250+ vs buying better sized wheels.

Yikes. Good luck.

You can run stock wheels with toyo mt 37s. They rub at lock, but they are ok.

If you want to test the lockers you have to be in 4 low and moving VERY slowly. Like 2-3 mph, but you have to be moving. Also have to be in 4 low for the sway bar, but not so terribly slow. At least that how it works for Gen4 trucks.

No, they denied warranty coverage.

2018 it's behind the radio. That was a pain to do the first time, yours looks a lot worse.

The heavy duty is really heavy duty. But I drive around with a 37 Toyo strapped to the top of mine. The only issues I’ve seen is it you load across the hinges. It levers the latches and you’ll have a hell of time locking and keeping it locked. I needed new plastic tips for the locking rod as I tore ...

IIRC, the Yukon seemed to be preferred over Nitro, as there isn't any OEM last I knew. It looks like ~$900 just for the ring and pinions. No idea what other parts you need, or how much it would cost if you paid something to do this for you. But I've never really looked into this much, so hopefully s...

Iirc, you are good way past reasonable temperatures. I think I was told things get bad somewhere above 250?

Alfaobd can do that too. Tpms is easy, changing the wheel size is a bit trickier as it requires a series of steps to get ABS working. If you do it wrong then among many other things you get no speedometer.

Love my diamondback. Also have the factory RAM foldable cover that worked great. But wanted a more solid cover. I do have the rambox and the diamond back does not seal the greatest at the tailgate, so I do get some water in the bed. Someone at PWM had modified theirs slightly to get it to seal a lo...

My Diamondback is solid.

I've pretty much abandoned any hope of getting it into my garage. I'm just hoping that if I carefully back in I can get the truck nearly level before I have to stop to keep from striking the door, but I haven't tried it.

If I do another house it will have taller doors and a deeper garage.

It’s not as complete a weld as I thought, but it’s pretty solidly in place.

Interesting conversation. I was looking DOR drag link to replace the OE link with the latest recall out on it. Haven't taken it in for the recall yet. I'm leery about the recall fix, assuming all is good, to weld the jam nuts. Doesn't make sense and no longer able to center steering wheel when need...

I assume no issues with trans temp?

There is a huge range of hardness and strength of aluminum alloys. I don't know what alloy they use or why they chose it, but I'd bet that "resists sharp rocks" wasn't a big part of the selection criteria. Several people at PWIM had thoughts on how to protect the drive shaft, but we'll see if these ...

Yeah, they explode instantly when they make contact with a rock. They are as thin as an aluminum can. I'm not joking. It's not really the first thing you need to replace. Just don't use your drive shaft as a rock slider and you'll be fine. You want ramps. Not ledges with undercuts. That will get yo...

At least one destroyed on the rocks at PWIM a few weeks back. A couple of others got some nice battle scars. There were 3 that failed at PWIM last I knew. Two rear and one front. The front one seemed to just have a catastrophic u-joint failure, the shaft might have been ok. The rear ones were cut i...

I only tried once, and it was on the trail and getting dark after I tore the side out of a duracrap. So maybe we could have gotten it to fit given more time to mess with it. But it just didn’t want to go, so it went on the bed cover.

Going to order shortly to hopefully coincide with the trucks arrival.

The dealer did mine, for a fairly small fee that got rolled into the financing. Not that you can’t do it, but they are big and heavy.
