Re: Smoked a motor

Truck is running well, only thing I noticed when driving was the dealer didn't install a air dam back on the truck, just left it sitting on the winch. This was discovered when taking a trip to the next town over and my oil temp w...

Re: Smoked a motor

Spoke with the service advisor today, I have known her for years and had a great relationship with her. She said if the oil screen has metal on it, new motor time.

Re: Bouncing Problemos

I am installing my Thuren 2.5 setup this weekend, assuming weather cooperates. I ended up going keeping the OE PW rear springs, and going with the Thuren +1/2" springs up front... so CG shouldn't take much of a hit and didn't make spring rates worse in the rear.
