    Let us know if the driveline vibe goes away with the rear suspension change..
    Get right on that.

    We have a customer at my shop right now who wants us to color match his 2024 dodge 3500 cab and chassis to his 2022 forest green tundra... we'll see if it happens.

    I honestly never experienced these vibes on both my 3rd gens :notsure:

    Both 2nd gens, well of course, but they had over 100K miles.

    Just don’t drive around with the rear driveshaft removed. You will change your tune.
    I did it once in my truck and swore I would never do it again. It was sooooooo smooth.

    My folks had an ol cj5 back when I was a kid that was fiberglass. We called it "bumpity" because no matter how new or flat the road was, it bounced going down the road. All 55mph of it.

    Tell him to take his French ram back and get a real truck. Rams are garbage.

    You know you're in Maine when you see two little kids running around their driveway with just bathing suits on, spraying each other with a hose, and it's 46 degrees out.

    46° is pretty warm. It got up to 32° before it started cooling down again here. It was warm enough for a motorcycle ride if there wasn’t snow on the road.

    Another succesful run. 18 hours door to door - that’s Dover NH to Indy. Not bad for a solo overnight run
    Rain rain rain and then some rain. But I’m home now and the sun is shining, so alls well that ends well. Glad I threw new blades on before leaving.

    hit 150k on the odo. But other than those little spinnin’ wheels in the dash, you’d never know.
