Don't sweat the brakes. The '08 brakes should be plenty. Switch to a higher quality rotor and EBC pads if you'd like. I don't feel that my newer trucks were much better stopping than my '08, with the OEM parts at least.

Horses ruin trails more than mountain bikes. Hoof prints run deep. And they bring in horse flys which absolutely ruins any hikers day. No bikes should mean no horses. Foot traffic only. I suggest adding single track in places where it has minimal impact. Mtb'ers generally include...

Ford yes, gm would be even worse. Fords have wheel hop just as bad. Wheel hop is generally a tire problem. The limits of the trucks traction are long gone, everytime I've experienced it. Increase traction with larger MT's and tire chains. BDS make very nice traction bars that help as...

It's ability to run lean, longer, might be a big step forward. The larger valves and better valve train geometry is huge. A 460 never even dreamed of such things. I think the huge step forward, is new technology and higher quality, allowing us to bring back an old engine style. With a...

I don't think it's going to impress the expo or ecoboost crowd. It's a work truck engine. They have to be a bit wheezy to survive hard work. If the wheezy low output GM 8.1, 8.8, Ford 460, or Ford 6.8 were good engines, that you enjoyed, then this one should be even better. My 8.1 was...

That would explain the 32" square wheel wells, as well.

They are saying ''all trims, even down to the f250''. This engine doesn't make a ton of sense in a 250. But there are diesel 250's out there, so...

I'm having a hard time judging the comfort level because my left knee is shot. But it seems nice to me. My 2015 regular cab seems a hair better, but the CC has way more room, and the seats appear to be the same. I think I'm just used to the 15. I have 170 000 miles on that, and only 10 000...

Honda's transmissions are reliable, not durable. Putting a Civics transmission in a truck doesn't work out too well. But they'll work fine for city lads, the way the El Camino was meant to be used.

Who's responsible for those mirrors? Seriously, I need a name, so I don't pimp slap the wrong engineer. My work truck is on it's last set of tires. So far, it looks like I'll get stuck with one of these turd boxes. Hopefully they're better than my last gm. Hopefully the cruise works. [At...

Doubt it. It takes a certain amount of fuel to move these trucks. Gears ain't going to help that much. A 6L engine at 18% throttle, isn't going to be much different than a 7L engine at 15% throttle. The golden question that nobody has asked....... What's the 1st gear ratio, and what's the...

I don't get it? How is this going to make me look more attractive to Expo'ers of the same gender? Can't mount a tire to that? Tables? Rotopacks?

I like it fine enough. Bds and Carli can improve the ride. As can King shocks and a Fox ats steering damper. The Oem shocks won't last long. GM's oem shocks don't work at all. 4" more travel, and some 35-37" tires on 18" wheels helps a ton. Avoid the 20" wheels.

I don't see the crank sensor either.

Forescan does kinda suck to get going. Get adapter. Download the wrong drivers 87 times. Sign up to forscin forums, wait until they grace your presence with the forscin unlock code. Open the software so it can unlock its self. If using a wired connector, the chinese switch will be...

Snow? Cooper Stt's work in snow. I didn't have much luck with Bfg's in such.

Only if you remove your air filter. Jet turbines have no air filters.

Not much user serviceable on those anyways. The accessories up front aren't much worse.

I can reach all of the way around the 6.2l. Plugs, injectors, coils, are all cake to get to. Alt, ps pump, water pump, don't seem much harder. There's a large plenum, with intake noise dampers, but that's no big deal. I'd replace it with a smaller aftermarket intake, but they all seem to...

They have both in the tfl truck vid on the new SD's. The big 10 is twice the size of the little 10.
