We all have paid the big bucks for our trucks. And the basic units are the same just better window dressing on some. I get a kick out of the ford & chevy commercials beating each other to death on who is #2 and 3. I've owned them all and they just can not compare to the EcoDiesel or any Ram...

Can someone tell me the difference in the Trailer Braking modes. Specifically the difference between Light and Heavy? Is the a lbs break point or what? I have a 6000 lbs travel trailer with electric and a 8000 lbs boat with electric over hydraulic brakes. The information is supposed to be...

For my business I need to keep a mileage log. Does anyone know if there is an app that will note the mileage of the truck on a daily basis to be used for tax purposes? something that will say a 11 pm every night note the mileage to be downloaded onto a zip drive once per year for a deduction...

I only know what the head mechanic at the dealership told me. I was grilling him for information on the engine. The engine is programmed down 10% for the first 2000 to 3000 miles so you can't push the it for all it is worth until after that. Most people don't even notice. I would assume he...
