    Gone in 30 days

    Where I live every other vehicle is some kind of lifted 4x4, in the 6 months of ownership I have had only 2 strangers ask what it is. At stop lights I usualy have to look up at the truck next to me.

    tire pressure sensors

    Anyone know if the sensors that came with the trailer package will work in the truck tires? I want to put them in the stock wheels that came on my Laramie and mount the 32 inch original tires back on. The daughter is wearing out the 34 inch KO2s that are on the Laramie now. I want to save them...

    Water in the catch can?

    Yes I added one at 1500 miles. I would not worry about a little oil loss. As long as it is not quarts between oil changes it should be fine.

    Water in the catch can?

    Zero oil consumption at 3000 miles, did first change at 400 miles. Modern engines should not use any oil. The old days of seating the rings is long gone. I have only had one modern engine that used oil between changes and it had one cyl. that did not have the ring gaps staggered. 2011 5.3 chev.

    “Updated” fluid / oil guidance…

    What I heard from Redline oil years ago was 75/140 gear lube was for low speed diffs. doing heavy towing. I think the TRX would be considered a high speed application but either one will work.

    Trading Toys

    If thats a Malibu not an SS I would not worry about it. I sold a 66 425 horse Corvette to buy my truck. At my old age I want some thing to enjoy every day not a garage queen to drive once a month.

    Happy with MPG

    I haven't been too easy on it so it could get better. I did not buy it to race it. It took the place of my 66 425 hp corvette that I drove maybe once a month, I can enjoy this every day. Been driving hot cars and trucks since 1965 so I just want enjoy this truck and stand on the loud pedal once...

    Happy with MPG

    This truck is like an econemy rig compared to the gutless trucks of the 70 and 80's that we used to drive. Most of them got about 8 mpg, 10 mpg was a pipe dream. I have averaged 13.1 for the first 400 miles. I live 25 miles from town and I checked it driving 55 to 60 and got 16.4. My 2019...

    If you have a chance would you look at your rear drive shaft and see if there is a hole drilled about half way down the length?

    VIN “811 & 812” April Order Group

    The low mileage on these late 21's will make up for a lot of the depreciation, I just hit 100 miles on mine. I noticed a 1/4 " hole at about the center of my drive shaft, it looks like it was punched not drilled. Has any one else run across this? My kids taking a pic to the service manager on...

    Anyone have a klunk,kick in the ass feeling when just about to stop/ start

    I just got my truck yesterday and I noticed the drive shaft has a 1/4 inch hole drilled in it at about the center. Has anyone else seen this? I have been wrenching on cars for 60 years and never seen this.

    They carefully and gladly checked the whole list for me. The only thing he found was a few under torqued lug nuts. He kept the list for future reference. I would be very upset with your guy.

    Great news! I just got home with mine, they checked every thing on that forum list and only found a few lugs that were under torqued. Body fits are all good and paint looks good. It is hunting season so it will be getting some alder tree pinstripe before long.

    VIN “811 & 812” April Order Group

    My truck got to the dealer yesterday, but it wasn't until 4:30 pm so I decided to go in this morning and do the PDI with them and do the test drive. This will be the first time I ever wrote a check for $ 70,000. My 2019 Laramie was only $46,000. Also the longest I ever waited for an ordered...
