I went and took the turbo's off both my Cummins engines to lower their stresses.

But you're not taking that old simple reliable V8. You don't have points, or a carb, or a manual, or manual hubs. You don't mine your own ore, forge your own rods, or any of the other "good ole days" activities. People's power to self deceive is amazing.

Ooh the Council Of Gladiator users has spoken! Now we've moved the goal post from won't sell no one wants to, almost everyone wants but they're wrong cuz Merrica :CWL:

Yeah, Ford was just completely unable to sell Bronco's, no one wanted that woke IFS crap. Toyota can't move Tacomas, 4runners, Landcruisers to save their lives, look at all the rebats, 10, 12k off MSRP! *This post sent from the alternate reality where IFS actually decreases sales somewhere in...

Careful, they'll run you out of here. These guys only cross the Darien Gap 6x a day each day in theirs.

130% of the newly divorced, independent single moms who buy 85% of them now would still buy them. And never take them off road or take more than a freedom panel off MESSY BUN!!!! #momlife

Guys, a Youtuber posted THE TRUTH. Shut er down, we're done here.

I've chosen many other trucks than the Gladiator lol, It's actually my wifes, I daily a Ram 2500. I also have a 65 F250 352 FE 4x4, 68 F350 360 FE 4x4, 79 C10 6.0 LS, 88 4Runner 5.3 LS, 88 D100 440 RB, 95 F350 Cummins 5.9, and 99 GMC 7.4 Vortec lol.

I mean, and they'd sell just fine. Offroad competitions, real or imaginary, don't increase share prices. Sales do.

You could put IFS in the Wrangler and Gladiator tomorrow and they'd still sell just fine. They're both out sold in their segments by IFS vehicles.

I start my junk, leave.

Definitely not. There is not, and will not be, ever, a single documented case of failure with the root cause being, if only he had listened to random strangers on the internet and used some other than recommended oil.

I've never been all that strict about it. I just run it until it's hot and change the oil. But in the past 5 years, I've lost 4 cams. Done with flat tappets period. Rev stock roller lifters to 7500 rpm without failures.

This is where the OEM leather is installed, after the factory fabric is cut off. This is the process. Katzkin provides these covers to the upfitter who installs them, then takes them back to the yard to be shipped to the dealers.

I just wiped a solid lifter cam on modern oil 4 months ago lol, during break in. I won't buy another cam that's not a roller, period, no matter what voodoo they claim to put in the oil.

I'm just saying, by definition, it's a mid sized truck. That's the class it lives in. Whether it's a good one, is a matter of opinion, or subject to some tests, or whatever. It's still just as much a mid sized truck as a Honda Ridgeline, whether bubba screams ain't no Honduhhh a truck in...

Because it's a mid sized truck and directly comparable? It's literally, right there with the rest of them, tows more than most, hauls less than some, little bigger, little smaller. It's a mid sized truck in every sense, totally comparable with a Ranger Colorado, or Tacoma. What it's not is...

Yeah, I mean, 99% of people in the real world are, if it fits it ships. And Facebook DOT never pulls them over and weighs their crap. On the internet though, the illustrious DOT is behind every tree and bush with the insurance adjuster just waiting to DENY YOUR CLAIM. I remember right...

If you believe this, 0 weight will cover the bearings fastest on start up. Not sure what coats the bearings on my 65 F250 that only runs once a year for about 4 hours and has only ever been filled with 15-40 since 1994, but nevertheless... 100% agree everyone is going to do whatever their...

My simple minded self just puts in what the cap says. I've run multiple vehicles over 200,000, and 300,00, and one over 400,000. Never had an engine failure in one of my daily, normal, go to town vehicles.
