    Rear Air Ride Only?

    Yep aftermarket. I'd basically dump the air in them so you keep your cushy coil spring suspension and then if you ever tow you've got a little more oomph in the rear. Go ahead for a level or whatever you please up front

    Riding High w Air ride suspension

    Well you can switch the factory links from front to rear, there's a length difference and it basically puts you in off road 2. They just pop off. But it's too high and though you can still go to offroad 1, offroad 2 won't work. It will serious wear your tires unless you go get an alignment and...

    Front Brake UpgradeUpgrade

    I hear you on the emergency stopping distance. The oe pads may have long life and not awful dust but they don't grab very much. To a friend; I described the difference in my braking to stopping the weight of a civic instead of a 7,000# truck. It's seriously that dramatic of a difference getting...

    New user to the site, bought new 2016 EcoDiesel

    Welcome, I'm also I'm Minnesota. Wayy up north. Diesel maintenance is a little different, the Def, and fuel filter in particular but nothing crazy. Once it's staying below 30-40 slap the cover on. That factory one is fine, change the fuel filter before and after winter. Or every other oil...

    Front Brake UpgradeUpgrade

    Definitely looks a little sportier with the red calipers and all. Never been one for the drilled and slotted either. It's extremely aggressive on pads as well. And only one is really necessary the best research I've come up with. Drilled only or slotted only. And it depends on the pad combo...

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    Ok so a couple funny things about bf, they don't really disclose their tire measurements. Tread depth and such. It's all very hidden. Also directly from bf's website their tire reviews are awful recently for the k02. Especially longevity. Anyways shopped around a little and ended up getting the...

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    Except the under bed tire carrier won't accommodate an alloy or chrome clad rim. It's only fits the steel hub. If you want to bed mount then sure. But factory spare under the bed? Doesn't work

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    One thing that caught me off guard though in what you just said.. you mentioned having the dealer program to a 285/65/20? As far as I or anyone else seem to be able to find a dealer can only change to the possible factory tire revolutions

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    Yeah a 5 tire rotation works great on a Jeep, but we don't have matching rims under our trucks. Just steelies. And you're sure as shit not going to have two tires dismounted and mounted to switch the wear on that steely.

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    Idk it's iffy. Tire certs are 144, half the price of a 5th matching tire (which I kinda hate to have such good rubber hung under the truck), or just accept Repair costs and possibilities and find a Used inexpensive spare that will match up which I have to do if I get the certs anyways

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    They've got a secret eBay promo actually so now they beat their own prices on the cooper. 100 off plus no federal excise tax. So the only big price difference without fighting jet's system for new customers (the wife) is whether or not I pay for the hypertech out of pocket. Not a big deal in my...

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    Honestly I don't like the bf's but I do know they are a pretty good tire and that price has me in a rather tough mindset. Though the wife actually said to get the Cooper's still. Too bad it doesn't come from her $$. We'll see what discount tire direct does for a price match if they still beat...

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    So we're at $960 (USD) for a set of 65 series k02's AND a hypertech calibrator? I was about to drop $1100 on Stt pros plus the hypertech. That's nearly a 300$ difference.......

    New BFGoodrich KO2 tire

    Unbelievable price I'm now on the fence from cooper. A 275/65/20 k02 is $305/tire on discount tire direct but Jet has them by the pair for only $440!!! And the 8 ply 60 series is about 390. But new customer with 30$ off the first 3 orders... buy each pair separate.. then a hypertech (BTW it's...

    Oil fill cap

    I honestly did this myself. But it made a real mess of the engine bay in only a day or two. The reason it's so expensive is you end up buying the entire filler neck and cap. Stealer wants about 75-95$ for a replacement. I did the same and got the part number then ordered online for ~45$. Live...

    EcoDiesel Oil Change Intervals

    I don't think it's even possible... it's upon driver judgement to change early based on load, idling, and various stress. But the oil change interval won't change in the evic

    Where are the fuel filters located...to be drained of water?

    sorry I meant to update I couldn't find it for the life of me

    Where are the fuel filters located...to be drained of water?

    Geno's has a valve now? I got a solid brass plug from them for mine. Skipped the adapter. I've got a full size oil filter belt wrench works perfect for me if I need a little extra oomph

    Ram's newest truck breed, the "Rebel"

    look up the rebel TRX concept! 37x13.5's factory. Thing is sharp. Except the 6 point seatbelts are very inconvenient for actual driving.
