    2011 Durability & Reliability

    I'm sure that's legit. If they bought it in Dec 2010, it's 13k/mo, which is about 650 miles a day, 5 days a week. Not unreasonable at all for a hauler. I'm surprised all the buttons, seats, etc look so good. I'd bet that driver's seat has been replaced. Be interesting to know how many sets of...

    Duramax ZF6 Crew Cab 98 C3500HD

    I count 10 on the rear? I feel like it was probably cobbled quite a bit. And knowing people in St Cloud, I wouldn't trust it...

    Tune up a 00 Pontiac with the 3800 V-6, replace coils?

    Don't replace the coils. Do replace the FPR, especially if you smell gas in the vacuum line. I'd get a complete regulator and be done with it.

    I hope the 6.5L fleet does not revolt....

    The factory intake is good to 600HP, and actually flows better than a lot of the aftermarket stuff. Show him the PPE data on that, it's good stuff.

    Power folding tow mirrors on 04 suburban

    The 2015+ trucks were the first ones to have power folding tow mirrors. My 2016 has them. I doubt that's trickled down to the aftermarket yet.

    Skid Steer Tires?

    Wondering about opinions on tires for my JCB. See this thread for info: http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/jcb-skid-steers.45832/ It will be primarily used inside chicken barns and on concrete, not in mud and dirt, so I'm wondering about a "mixed use" tire, like this: As opposed to the...

    2016 3500 HD TowPig

    The truck GVWR is 11,500, trailer should be 14,000? It has 2 7k axles. I can pull a gooseneck rated for more, I just can't have my load at more than 26k. Also, it's for farm use, so I get some gray area there too...

    2016 3500 HD TowPig

    No, it's under 26,000. A dually could have the potential to be over, but you only need a CDL if you actually gross that weight.

    Dirt Every Day

    I subscribe to the Motor Trend on Demand and binged the whole series lol. It's good stuff. I also really like Roadkill and all the stupid shit they do, lol.

    2016 3500 HD TowPig

    It's funny, the dealer sells something like that. Because we are a business customer, I got $1k in "free" accessories, and I thought I was supposed to get the under seat storage, but apparently I didn't. The DuHa looks pretty nice. All our half tons got the GM under-seat storage. Might be...

    2016 3500 HD TowPig

    I actually paid less for this truck than a similarly equipped one with 15k on it that had just come in on trade. We got really good deals with the "bonus tags" and business pricing. It's not worth trying to scrounge around and find "lightly used" trucks, because everyone has paid interest on...

    2016 3500 HD TowPig

    Crazy. My average MPH is 50, so not having enough time for regen isn't a problem. Hell, even our Delivery truck can do regens, and that doesn't do super long trips.... Made a run to Tractor Supply Co looking for tool boxes and ended up scoring a decent deal, $202 for a matte black PC lo-pro...

    JCB Skid Steers?

    Yeah, I can only imagine, that would suck. Not sure why all the decals are flaking off, I'd guess it was parked outside previously? The decals on the door are kinda goofy too.

    Gotcha. Does it tell you when it's regening? I can't tell, and I'm assuming it has at least once, I've got 3500 miles on already...

    JCB Skid Steers?

    Well, update. I bought a 2013 260 ECO (~2600 lb lift, ~85 HP JCB diesel) with 335 hrs on it a few weeks ago, and I'm in love with it. I had to do a bunch of work with the "mods", basically the cages they're transported in (See pic). They were shipped in containers from Europe on end, so they had...

    Hahaha. Well, I was in charge of purchasing the trucks, and the boss (Dad) OK'd the price, so I got what I wanted lol. Already putting it to work: Bought a JCB 260 ECO skid-steer and a PJ 20' trailer, and I love them both. Truck did an awesome job towing as well, besides the 12.5 MPG, but...
