Yeah the front fascia of some of the GMT800s does hang down pretty low. This truck used to have a plastic splitter under the bumper but I took it off when I trimmed for the 285s. I usually hit the control arms or the diff skidplate before anything else. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Sounds like a nice truck. I'd like to see pics. The 7200gvw K2500 is basically the same as my F44 K1500, besides the rear spring pack from the factory. If you have a bench seat you can get the bolt on dual cupholder from many 88-94 trucks. If you have buckets just a make a new center console...

I know, but the whole thing stinks. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Nope, my truck wouldn't do well at Jericho Haha. The class 6 road we took on last years Turkey Trek was hard enough. The next trip we're going on with them is the Syrup Safari in September. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm sure with research there will be plenty of warranty problems from all the makes. Fact is, dealerships and corporate do not want to approve warranty claims. If you find a good dealership that works for you to get problems resolved they're worth your business everytime you go to buy something...

I read in a Facebook post (so take it with a grain of salt) that the Colorado guy was doing 40mph and hit a 3ft whoop and the trailer was at or near its 3500lb axle limit. I don't blame the truck in that case. There is a lot of strength in that frame, not modern 3/4 or even 1/2 ton strong, but...

Yup that's us; that pic is from this years Cruise to the Clouds trip. They did a YouTube video for it: Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Old trucks with 3-4spd transmissions could still get the 8-10mpg that modern gas trucks get while towing, just not as quickly because of the low power smog engines. The average 80s 5.7L V8 is lucky to make 150hp. Theres also a broad range because of maintenance issues. One old truck will...

So the main problem with the 4wd ended up being the actuator. I must have smacked it on something and broke it internally. It led me to the problem when it started leaking lol. The motor spins but no actuation. Other problem is my linkage wasn't getting the case into 4hi enough so it wasn't...

Sorry, I was referring to the gas 6.0L in the GM platform. I would never recommend the 6.0L powerstroke. While the fixes are commonplace now, I see no reason to go with a 6.0 when good 7.3L are out there. As for the GM 6.0L, I dont think there is a bad year range to consider which is why I just...

I lean towards GM in general but they're all junk when they're broken. If I had to put forth an unbiased opinion on which fullsize would fit your needs I'd say 99+ F350. Diesel or gas is user preference. The axles are good. Plenty of room for big tires. Parts are everywhere but not as cheap as...

If we were talking Jeeps or Tacomas I could understand that. Voiding a warranty on a 3/4 or 1 ton because it's got bumpers, skids, and a camper shell or a rack/RTT on it would be insane. I haven't looked up statistics but I imagine pretty much all of the warranty work on a new 3/4-1 ton is not...

They are made by Nangkang and distributed by tireco. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I put the 97+ motorized actuator in last year. The thermal actuators are junk. Mine was taking 5min to engage in the winter time before I swapped it out. I could hear the actuator engage so I think the problem is in the case or shift linkage. I haven't had time to check it out. Hopefully this...

Yes, we went up the mountain and to an abandoned radar station in VT with some trails mixed in. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm pretty firm in the old junk category. I don't like the payments/high insurance/taxes that go with owning a newer vehicle and I like working on my truck. I overland a 1990 Chevy, and it has never left me on the side of the road. Its loud, theres no AC (yet), but its comfortable and goes where...

It was an awesome trip with a great group of people. Truck ran great but we had some problems. I cooked my brakes coming down Mt. Washington because of the tall 1st gear and all the Toyota/Jeep guys were going too slow with hill descent mode. Once they cooled down and I had clear road in front...
