    Tim's become a glutton for punishment.

    I don't think people necessarily dislike diesel emissions stuff they just want them to work.

    Are deleted diesel trucks legal after EPA deregulation news?

    I doubt any manufacturer is going to backtrack on their exhaust emissions to any great extent, that's why the EPA needs severely scaled back in its current form as its just not necessary anymore as its far past the point of diminishing returns.

    Another thing I would like to know is do they actually run the engines and transmissions before install or is it just build and ship?

    Crazy thought about safety ratings

    There was Chevy medium duty box truck at the local fish processor that had a tote of fish slam through the back of the cab because the driver left the tote at the rear of the box and had a hard brake, it went through the front of the box and made a big dent in the back of the cab big enough that...

    My 15 year old nephew driving

    My 15 year old nephew got his driver's permit, he took me for a drive in my 2004 Silverado RCLB v6 5 speed, he has been driving off road since he was about 8 years old in my Jeep Wrangler and my 87 Chevy 4x4 pickup. Face blurred to protect identity.

    Most reliable truck engines lasting more than 150k miles

    Another thing is, I have wondered if Toyotas current truck troubles (engines) are because Toyota Trucks don't have much commercial and fleet sales. if there were tens of thousands of Tundras and Tacomas getting flogged by company drivers every day these problems would show up fast. Toyota might...

    Most reliable truck engines lasting more than 150k miles

    It might be more telling to that the Ford 3.5 eco boost is in a lot of commercial and fleet trucks and everybody that has used a company truck or been around fleet trucks knows they run hard, for instance the telecom I work at the driver starts the truck and by the time the key returns to the...

    Really strong truck market

    I wish GM would go after the cab and chassis market, I work at a telecom and I would say 98% of the trucks that come in here are Fords with the rest Ram (bucket trucks) I have only seen one GM bucket truck and it was a mid 90s Chevrolet (must have been a backup truck) Chevrolet has the 4500...

    2025 Rivian R1T

    In theory if a car thief was hanging out in a parking lot, after you get out and start walking into the store run up and open the door if the vehicle still senses the key fob and start it up and drive off? Would the vehicle shut off after it loses contact with the key fob in the owners pocket?

    2025 Rivian R1T

    That's a pet peeve of mine about electric vehicles is all the goofy gadgetry they have, why cant they just make a normal electric vehicle without all of the silly stuff? if its because door handles would use up range because or air resistance or something I would rather just get .00035 percent...

    Interview with Stellantis engineer tomorrow on Ramcharger

    I would like to see a regular gas Ram with the 3.6 pentastar go up the Davis dam hill too, I don't see how a 3.6 pentastar hooked to a generator with a dead battery will do better than just a traditional engine and transmission. If I am reading the Ram website right the generator only puts out...

    Top 5 common things new truck buyers get wrong on forums/social media

    It depends if the recall is for a sticker or some infotainment issue or is it because the engine or transmission is going to puke its guts out on the interstate. For instance my 2006 Nissan Frontier has an open recall for the Nissan emblem on the steering wheel "A DETACHED EMBLEM AND/OR RETAINER...
