The manufacturer and dealers have an extreme disincentive to find or allow a solution to this; the proximity feature is something that some buyers want enough that it's significant a traction point to upsell them into a substantially more expensive vehicle. Is it doable? Probably somehow by...

I want to be super clear, in my raising the point that the clamp's overlap of bearing surfaces isn't as beefy as I would like it to be, I was and am not trying in any way to trash the Diamondback company or their product. I intend to get one of their HD covers, and I'll come up with a solution...

Does anyone know if the readout is really displaying as-measured pressure? My last vehicle, a 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel had absurd technology where a readout showed varying PSI, but all it really was was an "idiot light" type pressure/no pressure sensor augmented by a computer algorithm that...

Does anyone happen to know whether the user-customizability of the aux switches using Uconnect is or is not functional with the lowest-level Uconnect3? I think I'd seen an answer about that, but can't find my way back to it. I don't have the switches, but am thinking of getting the add-in-OEM...

I'll be very interested in what you're able to find. This has been an interest of mine also; as of early to mid summer I'd done some asking around (not only here on the forum but also with some possible suppliers) and at that time was coming up empty, but hopefully the situation will improve...

I took your comment needlessly personally and my reply was needlessly pedantic and indignant. Not to offer excuses but I've had the recent loss of a close family member and a lot of other additional strain in both family and work life, on multiple fronts, and I very stupidly let some of that...

Since when did anything having to do with a Jeep turn into anything resembling "it's foolish to do anything other than buy it off the shelf and use as-is, or else not do it at all - manufacturers' products can never be improved and need not be modified?" Because my truck didn't come with rails...

Many thank eaglerugby, that is incredibly helpful! I have been thinking of using aviation type "L-Track" instead of trail rails https://www.cargoequipmentcorp.com/interior-van/l-track-systems/heavy-duty-l-track And it looks to me like I could come up with a way to fasten the Diamondback's...

Could you please take and post some photos on the hardware and arrangement of clamps that hold the center part of the cover to the bed? I am strongly leaning towards a Diamondback (haven't decided on SE vs HD but leaning towards HD). I don't have the trail rails, and I guess that Diamondback...

I've been noticing that my JT has better traction in 2wd than I'd expect for a RWD pickup (and I still have stock size all season tires on it, I have winters but don't yet have them mounted). Perhaps that's why I'm getting the balkiness, because the wheels are grabbing more than I expected in...

I will be very interested to hear if that one, intended for use with a computer, will be recognized by and operable through/ with the factory controls

Thanks RG48820 - I am wondering what could be going on that could account for this?

re: WXman's #1 the ZF 8 speed is designed to not need service for the lifespan of the transmission; depending on how long you hope to keep your vehicle, the lifespan of the transmission may or may not equal what you intend and want as the lifetime of the vehicle. I had the ZF 8 speed in a 2015...

I'll preface this question by saying that I am not at all new to 4wd vehicles, and also not new to 4wd vehicles with sold front axles and cardan/cross u-joints in the solid front axle (about 10 year ago my daily driver for several years was a 1989 Ford F350 with a Dana 60 front axle). In fact I...

I picked up one of the below, which I am going to use to mount separate control heads for Yaesu FT-891 HF and FT-7900VHF/UHF amateur rigs (with the transceiver bodies remoted to behind the back seat)[with other things on my plate, that'll be next spring at earliest). Kinda like the look of the...

Wow, that's the first vehicle I have seen that makes the old early 1970s slabside IH pickups look svelte and swoopy by comparison

If you expect it to be some kind of a high performance experience that gives you a 'wow' sense of acceleration, you are going to be disappointed. If you accept the fact that it's a very sturdy, highly versatile 4wd truck with a very moderate-sized-medium-performance engine and you prefer the...

I agree, I've driven manual transmissions in everything from a 62 VW 1200cc Beetle with very tired engine and worn clutch to 1974 F350DRW with heavy, heavy tow clutch, and this is the _oddest_ clutch I have driven yet, in terms of so little feedback. I think that they may have reduced...

I'm at 2K flawless experience on the MT. If you expect the gearing to be like a close-spaced car 6 speed you'll be confused and frustrated. Someone said it's like an old truck four speed with stump puller first- and then a pair of overdrives, and I think that is a really good way to describe it...
