You know when you're old when the cops look younger than you do.

I use a wd on my 9500# camper with a 2019 GMC 2500. I adjust the spring bars so that the 2" rake is removed leaving the truck level. A friend wound his bars up so tight that the rake was still there. He was all over the road from doing that. Effectively removed too much tongue weight.

2019 GMC Dmax 2500 Denali---Should have bought one of these years before I did. 2013 GMC 1500 Denali 6.2 AWD --- Probably the most fun truck to drive. 1997 Chevy 1500 4x4--Barely had to do anything to it and traded with 200k on it 2010 GMC SLE 4x4 6.2--Someone ordered it and never picked it up...

I had a 2014 570 Touring that I bought new. I'm kinda with you that the oil filter is in a place that's just out of reach. It was a little bit of a pain. Never had to deal with the battery, Had the dealer put a gel battery in it during a recall visit. It was a great machine and never gave me...

I generally use 3M clean and strip for rust removal. A little spendy but worth it imho.

Sorry I missed your post. Bought a 2022 RZR Trail. Only real purpose for it is recreation. I have an RTV1100 for hauling. So far I like it except for the jerky clutch. Guess there are fixes for that but it's good so far.

I had that happen with a gasser once. Me & the shop met halfway on the trans r&r and I pad for the flywheel. Go in easy at first, they may work with you.

You're right. I buffed cars for years and you really do have to go out of your way to burn through the paint---provided it hasn't been buffed a million times or heavily wet sanded.

Right, they also mentioned extra filters. Thankfully they put the fuel filter under the bed on my 19 Dmax so it isn't terrible.

Guys I know with CP4's in Dmax's swear by installing a lift pump to take some of the heat of the CP4. I have no personal experience with this but it seems to be a very popular add-on and they say it works well. Just throwing out what I've heard.

I'm not a fan of debt either...However liquidity is more important to me...I normally put at least 50% down and finance the rest to be paid of in less than 2 years--Sometimes faster if it's a toy. This way I keep most of my liquid funds and I have an easy-out if I have to sell it for some...

Actually, unless yo know the previous owner and how the machine was used/maintained I'm of the general opinion that buying new makes good financial sense..That's all I've done in the past 20 years. I agree it hurts at first but it give some degree of peace of mind as time goes on. Just my $.02...

I have a Rice 16' Utility with a gate--Have loaded my BX23 with FEL/BH& 54: belly mower on the gate and never had a problem except I have to play around with the load angle a bit. Also have had my RTV1100 on there numerous times but that's probably lighter. 594675

I have 2 Ryobi's I carry in a bag..Both 18v. One is a small tank compressor, the other is a digital inflator. Home Despot stuff. I'm pretty happy with them and they are fairly cheap.
