    Big 3 diesel trucks comparison

    What kind of warranty do these new diesels have on their DEF systems? I brought Cat in to replace a cracked DEF Header on a rubber tired excavator. It cost north of $5k. When I asked what the guarantee was, he said there wasnt one and since we are in Montana "it could freeze and break again...

    Big 3 diesel trucks comparison

    Yeah, I kinda got that. And as much as I hate to say it, somebodies got to buy the new ones too. With all the issues of any DEF required diesel, the only way I'd own one was if the DEF system was covered 100% for life. But then again, that doesn't help when you're in the middle of BFE and your...

    Big 3 diesel trucks comparison

    How many miles are on your current truck? Is it possible to put some money into it to keep it going as opposed to starting over? If you must buy new, I wouldn't buy anything that required DEF so I'd look real hard at one of the newer big gassers. Otherwise, and I know it seems like a longshot...

    Quick building code question

    Without seeing the opening, like Chris said, steel wool is best. Most rodents love foam but wont eat through steel wool.

    I'm only an hour from either one. Two and a half is 2 1/2 times better!

    You know, this could all be avoided by grabbing a beer from the fridge and going out to the garage instead....

    What tire size?

    Is it an appropriate time to suggest a Hemi swap?

    What tire size?

    I would go with 30x9.50-15. It was offered from the factory and shouldn't kill your 2.5. Good combination of moderate looks and decent performance.

    News + current events

    A coworker and I were just talking about this trail a couple of weeks ago. He grew up just down the road from there. He said it's very narrow, very steep and it's near vertical off the trail. Not for the faint of heart. I think I'd walk it before driving it.

    Tire recommendations

    Thank you for that assessment. I've heard the Duratracs are a pretty soft rubber, which makes sense that gravel would be hard on them. Soft rubber is a good attribute for tires used on icy roads, which is why I've been considering them. I absolutely loved the several sets of Cooper AT3s I've had...

    Tire recommendations

    We ran them on my wifes Xterra. They're good on the road but would not recommend them for mud. As for recommendations, that depends on how much weight the mud side has on your decision. I'd look at Duratracs or Cooper Rugged Treks.
