I did the software update for the downshift thing, and my in dash display that used to show 1-6 for the gears and highlight which one it was in, is now gone. What’s that shit?

    I'm not a truck nut per se.  I'm certainly not a gear head.  And, I'm not at all impulsive.  But, I saw this truck on the side of the road two weeks ago, test drove it the next day, took it to my budd

    One year without a truck was too long.  I’m back. And figured, fuck it. I can’t take it with me so might as well enjoy it.

There's instructions in the manual on how to turn that back on. 

Suggestions for a grille guard for a '15 Silverado 1500? I'm wanting it to look sharp, offer good protection vs. deer, and not break the bank.

Grille/brush guards are just damage multipliers in an accident (be it with a vehicle or a deer/animal). I wouldn’t recommend any of that type.

The people I know with them have hit multiple deer with no damage.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Use the +/- on the shifter and you can turn it back on.  Don't push it too many times and lock out gears you don'e want locked out though.

It’s hard to beat a Ranchhand. 

Anton C where are you getting that info? I know lots of people that have had animal strikes with guards that were resolved with a $2 at the spray and wash.

Maybe he’s thinking of bumper mounted vs frame mounted. If I got one, it would be an integrated bumper/ guard combo. 

Tangent: in my kid’s forza game, when you select one of them to add to a holden, it’s called a roo guard. 

Because you can barely bump something and they can cause damage like this. They just bend and are pushed back into the body.

You could call mine a ‘Roo Guard, since it’s an ARB, straight from Oz.

Disguised new Chevy Silverado HD dually driving around downtown Denver right now. 

Hideous. 

I fell off the wagon and I'm looking at trucks again. I found a couple of Rams that look good, not sure about quality. Anyone have the lowdown on 2016-17 Ram? What to look for or avoid?

They can have an issue where a lifter gets stuck and eventually grinds a cam lobe down

This doesn’t really help you, but when I was waiting at the dealership for the recall, I walked the showroom (dodge/ford dealer) and they had a 2018 ram 2500 and a 2019 ram 1500. The interior of the new ram is so much better than the previous one.

Man, that's a good lookin' rig.

I like that color.

No idea what it is, but I like it.

You and I responding to each other is kinda like standing in the doorway of a Starbucks looking across the street at another Starbucks.

That said, Cement?  

Well, great color, but what a craptastic name for it.

Nice looking Michelin tire too.  I guess I didn’t know they made a tire with tread that aggressive.

I hear they are going to rename the Magnetic Gray Metallic to "Asphalt"

Mostly false. The little photo spread you posted was impressive. But there's no way to tell if the damage would have been worse with/without. It also greatly depends on the quality of the guard. Thin, lightweight, JC Whitney/Pep Boys/Napa guards aren't good for anything but looks. Ranch Hand is a whole 'nother level of quality, construction and protection. You get what you pay for.

Nice! I bought this truck (2018) back in September. Love the cement color. Michelin tires are nice too.

I hope that’s not truly the Bronco. Looks like a Durango with Isuzu Amigo rear end.

Yeah, that looks like pure ass.  Do Not Want!

My old Bronco was my favorite vehicle I've ever owned.  Just build them like you used to Ford...

Nice truck.   The color looks better on the Tundra than the Tacoma, IMO.

No shit. That doesn’t look good at all. I just want a modern version of the one I had in the 80’s

I had a 90 and a 96 Bronco. I loved those damn things.

I have a 92 right now.  Hasn’t been driven in a few months though, truck has the bells and whistles and the remote start and heated seats are so nice in winter. 

Sounds like the good old Eddie Bauer edition to me.

No, I mean my f150 has the creature comforts which is why the bronco sits in winter. The bronco is a Custom with no features. Not even a head liner, just painted metal. Rubber floors.

Nice truck.  do you have the AMP boards?  I've been considering those.

My F150 Platinum has power running boards.  I didn't care one way or the other about them when I bought it,  but I must admit that I really like them.  Since they retract, they can actually run lower than permanently affixed running boards or nerf bars, so they make a better step to the ground, and are especially nice for the kids.

Nice looking truck.  I love that little step on the back bumper.

Clever.

Those back bumper steps need to be mandated on all trucks.

Gagree.

The contraption Ford put on the tailgates to use as a step up is hilarious fail.

That said, these do come in handy...
