    This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler.

    Upgrading

    I tried to buy a new one for cash and the guy almost laughed me out of the dealership. Lucky for me, I found the one I have that night online and paid the price I wanted. I’ll never attempt to buy new again.

    What sort of leak? Near PCV

    It’s probably oil. Since the pcv is a crankcase vent. That’s why some run a catch can for the oil to collect instead of having it vent back into the engine. if you are worried about a leak clean the area and check it after driving a bit. It will probably be dry but it never hurts to double check

    I have Icon RTX leaf springs on mine. I like the fact I can go from a light duty to medium duty to heavy duty when I make additional mods to the truck. As for shocks I run the bilstein 6112/5160 not adjustable but I’d probably just set’em and forget’em anyway. I’m super happy with them right...
