    Request for the guys towing with '14+ Durango's

    I bought a used 2013 RT last week fully loaded with extra stuff I don't need but it's there like the dvd player. It's in mechanical great shape I just have to fix a bunch of rock chips on the front and few other minor things. I am a automotive painter by trade so that's no issue. I tried to find...

    Shorelander Broken Bunk

    I replaced mine this spring because they were rotten on the back ends. I found out then they were just a plain untreated board. I used treated this time so I hope they last a lot longer! If one is bad I'm sure the rest are close behind

    Looking at lexus GX 460 to tow

    I wasn't sure how the smaller V8 they put in these pulled very well compared to the 5.7 they have.

    Need help on reverse gate set up

    no I haven't removed them, I hope I only have to remove them enough to change the carbon rings and stuff. I don't have any rust in there that I can see. It only has 80hrs on it and I have a water leak in trying to find plus wanted to do maintenance just didn't realize I had these issues. I have...

    Request for the guys towing with '14+ Durango's

    Groom what little I have found there isn't much advantage of the 8sd over the 6, and finding a reasonable prices RT is few and far between. I don't really need the RT but if it's my only car I might as well get what I like or close too

    Need help on reverse gate set up

    I got them all out of the used set but one and I'm going to take it to work with and use some heat and good vise grips and hopefully get the last one out. I did get the other apart now just have to pull the prop out and buy a new wear ring since I think this is off a super charged model since...

    Looking at lexus GX 460 to tow

    I live in Indiana so it's mainly flat around here but when I go to TN and Dale hollow threw all the hills the silverado really struggles. SO that's why I'm kinda looking around at stuff.

    Need help on reverse gate set up

    I tried to cut just the bolts off and it was so corroded it wouldn't budge I had to cut the brackets off both sides. I bought a used set and working on taking them apart since they are fresh water. With heat and PB blaster I have got 3 out of it so far.

    Looking at lexus GX 460 to tow

    I only have a 2012 210 seadoo challenger so it's not a huge boat. I used to have a drinker 246 with a 454 in it and pulled it with a suburban and you barely knew it was back there. Everyone I've talked to with the 5.3 have said they are slugs

    Looking at lexus GX 460 to tow

    It's the truck it's a slug! GM screwed up dropping the 5.7 as far as I'm concerned I never had a problem with my suburban or Tahoe when they had it. So I've been looking at dodge trucks and the Durango RT and seen a few of the lexus for sale responsible priced so I thought I would ask.

    Request for the guys towing with '14+ Durango's

    I found a couple of 2013 Durango R/T and they have th 6sp and I don't see much advantage with the 8 from what I've read is there?

    Request for the guys towing with '14+ Durango's

    Not sure what gears I have but the truck does have the towing package and brakes and all. I've been told the 5.3 has so much more power then the 5.7 but I'm not seeing it! One mech friend told me GM chokes these down and if I change the air intake system on it and exhaust it will greatly...

    Paint code <for a Yukon Denali>

    Just a heads up I paint cars for a living and a lot of gm cars don't have paint codes in them and my dealer told me gm is going to stop putting them in cars at some point so we have to call the dealer. Be careful of some of those places were you can buy parts already painted! The products they...

    Request for the guys towing with '14+ Durango's

    I have a 2011 Silverado crew cab pulling a 2012 seadoo 210 challenger and I'm not impressed at all with the 5.3 especially going to TN from IN in the hills. I have been look at the Durango RT also but at the same time hate to give up a truck bed. Good luck the RT around here are few and prices...

    I just went to the Indy boat show and there was some great looking boats! But man the prices new boats are bringing is out of sight! I seen a lot of boats over the $100k Mark from wake boats to pontoons and so on. I do like the new Yamaha and Scarab boats but I think the $20k i spent on my 2012...

    Dealer Installed Interior/Exterior Protection???

    That is true there is no product that protects so long. They all have to be reapplied and even the stuff from dealers you can find at other places with some research. $1200 is stupid hi and every dealer is out to make a profit! So if they charge $1200 odds are they have 600 or less in it and...

    Dealer Installed Interior/Exterior Protection???

    I paint cars for a living and we do a lot of hi end German cars, I can tell the ones that have a ceramic coating or something like ziebart diamond coating because you can't hardly scuff it. I have to use a thinner or sometime tide powder to get it off of the panel I need to paint. I've been...
