Thanks. And it's funny that you used the word "dig". I have two that can...with backhoes.

I did. But some dumbshit sold that one and got a Ram 3500 instead.

I have thought about putting a cabover camper up front, but then I'd loose at least eight feet of load space. Still, it'd be nice for those 1,300-mile+ drives.

Depends on how high you stack them. But while it doesn't come with tarps, they're highly recommended for such loads. Unless it's obvious that you're heading for the dump.

Thanks. It is nice to have something that can handle wider and heavier loads (up to 16K or so), yet ride smoothly even empty. The TRX, for example, wouldn't fit on my 18-foot trailer, being wider than the deck on it. And the extra length allows hauling two cars on it. Plus, the axle placement...

Couldn't have been all that bad. Technically you still had about 14.7 psi in it.

Have ordered a longer one, so this PJ LY 25K Lo Pro is now for sale. It's about as well optioned as they come, with air suspension, disc brakes, hydraulic dove tail, and full Blackwood decking. There's roughly 5,000 miles on it, mostly with loads in the 6,000-lb. range, but one at about...

Looks like one segment infused in the segmented mold didn't want to stay put. Then the steel belts kept the entire section from coming off. Never seen anything like that before, but then I've always got rid of any run flat tires as soon as possible.

That is odd. But I just spent a few thousand+ signing up for Radford's 2-day course, so my machinery will be lucky to get used PUP 0W-40 for a while.

Have no experience with either one. But the Ram 5.7 I had ran just fine. So there.

Going back and forth to the dealership?

Not for 5.99 months, no. It's also interesting that it doesn't age at all on a dealer's lot, but starts going bad the second somebody buys the vehicle.

It doesn't. But it's better to have clean oil in there than dirty oil. As suggested earlier, simply don't add the new oil until in the spring if the thought of it being in the pan instead of in the bottles is bothersome.

Oil made a difference in my '14 2500 with a 6.4. Somehow I ended up putting Mobil 1 European Formula in it at the first (and early) oil change. And it started ticking on startup. Put the correct oil in it (still the same correct grade) and the ticking stopped.

Ah, our traffic lights are mounted on somewhat tall posts. Which works since they don't need to be visible to alligators.

I can. But probably not look down at the screen while looking up at a traffic light. But I'm sure that some can.

So looking at the screen you're not quite ready to go when the light turns green, then?

If condensation could be a problem or not depends on the climate. Here it's common to have 50 degree swings between the high and the low in a day, but I have yet to find evidence of condensation in metal or plastic containers. Also, given the option I'd rather have pure water in there (it'll...

I rely on mirrors to know what's back there. To me a backup camera is just an irritant, as in the corner of my eye I can see something changing on the dash when putting a vehicle in Reverse. Yes, I'm getting better at ignoring it, but don't want to lose the instinct of paying attention to...

Mine's an '18. If they still offered them in '35, unchanged, I'd by fine with it. Especially if they could be had with less tech.
