    New Ad provider

    Hey Tim, the problem we discussed before came back again. I can still use my duck duck go browser. It only happens to me in google chrome and only when I open one of your forum discussions. Maybe it’s just me…lol

    Next-gen 2027 Silverado spied

    The diesel is a great workhorse and gives GM such great flexibility. I’m sure a lot of buyers want a diesel or they aren’t pulling the trigger. It is tough to see through the Camo. I’ve liked the looks of a lot of the recent GM trucks. Hopefully that continues.

    Fitness journey

    I hope you are feeling better Tim. Hopefully, they can give you some relief from your pain. The fitness journey is an ever evolving struggle. You have to find a balance and approach that fits your personality and lifestyle. You mentioned way back that you are cooking now. Me too. My wife and I...

    Here’s how Trump Tariffs will impact your new truck purchase

    You’re absolutely right… I had a weak moment. I want to fast forward to spring to see how the Tariffs work out and to get rid of this snow.

    Here’s how Trump Tariffs will impact your new truck purchase

    Generally, I despise this whole situation. I dislike politics and posturing. I view all politicians as different heads on the same snake. On the vehicle front I don’t like that no matter what happens this will inflate vehicle costs. Any reasonable negotiations on tariffs would go through no...

    Business travel

    I think my direct flight from Montreal to Athens Greece was 9 hours. Crazy Tim. I feel for you. Airports are never fun. I am 2.5 hours from the airport though.

    Interview with Stellantis engineer tomorrow on Ramcharger

    That would be an interesting test. I believe truck king also mentioned that they tested it with no battery charge up the Davis Dam grade towing 14000lbs (2950 feet in 11.4 miles). I assume that’s pretty steep. I was curious just like you where the pentastar rpms will be when on maximum draw. I...

    Interview with Stellantis engineer tomorrow on Ramcharger

    This might be a dumb question.. .but with this setup (no starter, generator used to start the engine) what is the procedure to start the vehicle if the battery is dead for some reason? Unless I missed it there is no standard battery. I realize the system is designed to prevent this from...

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

    Hey Tim, This is an interesting idea. Most of my comments have been covered by others above. #2- I’m still in this camp if it’s a totally new model or it’s a new power plant. I just want to see if there’s any glaring issues or if it doesn’t perform as advertised before my purchase. I always...

    Most reliable new full-size trucks plus expected lifespan

    lol, that reminds me of 4 cars that went to the scrap heap for me. 1975 mercury comet(rusted and needed more parts than it was worth), 1975 mercury monarch(same as the comet), 1980 Mazda GLC(post it note colour…yech.. freeway driving and rust killed it), and a 1989 mustang fox body with a 4...

    Most reliable new full-size trucks plus expected lifespan

    I also wonder if the Toyota’s also stay on the road a bit longer due to reputation and resale price? You’re more likely to pay to fix a truck that you think is going to keep being reliable(ie: once you fix this one thing). If the resale of an old Toyota is say $5000 but the same year of Ford is...

    Most reliable new full-size trucks plus expected lifespan

    It was interesting what Tim mentioned in the video that the RAM data includes the bad tranny years before the ZF and some other engine problems they used to have. I found it interesting that for the big 3 the lifespan was within 1.1 years for lifespan. A lot of the statistics for quality and...

    RHO for Tim

    I hadn’t tried it until you mentioned it on your podcast. You’re right… works pretty well. Nice for turning off the seat heater for me … 3 heat levels. I had wondered what I could do with the built in voice commands. I had been to lazy to explore them before…sigh

    Best new truck feature in years!

    Hey Tim, I wonder if some better under seat storage would be handy for you. For my 2023 I picked up the weather tech under seat storage for the rear seat. We all want to carry more crap in our trucks…lol.. but you don’t see it with the seat down. The good part is, one clip and it comes out if...
