    I have mine tuned. Around town it's not terribly quick. But the throttle is no longer dead and empty with the tune. It's sharp and linear. So feels more responsive and playful. However, once the turbo is spooled and you are on the highway cruising in the meat of the power band, the tune really...

    Sliders added! And a dirty engine pic. I'll clean it... Eventually. 40k miles on the diesel so far. Averaging 25mpg. And it's not driven slowly or gently. :) Good rigs. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

    Which shocks for 16' Screw F150?

    The Fox kit is about a grand for all 4's. Kings will set you back 2k for just the shocks. But they are a good shock so you might as well aslo go all in and get the long travel kit, otherwise your travel will be near to what the Fox 2.0's will give you. So add another couple grand for the new...

    Which shocks for 16' Screw F150?

    Very easy. It's total pop in, pop out. They come pre adjusted for 2" front lift. No need to take apart the coils or anything. The 2.0 series is really designed to be the most shock you can have on an otherwise factory suspension. Kings are great, but they are quite expensive, and to take...

    Which shocks for 16' Screw F150?

    I went with a set of Fox 2.0 for my Colorado. Solid performance for a bit more than Bilstein or Eibach, without going overkill on bypass shocks. For a competent weekend warrior these fit the bill perfectly. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

    6.0 Trustworthyness

    If you can find a DuraBurb let alone a quadrasteer variant, that's a heck of a find. They are all custom rigs, and go easily for $30K+ And that opens up the doors for a fummins as well (Cummins swapped Ford) The diesel itch is a fun, but spendy itch to scratch :) I traded the 6.0 on a...

    6.0 Trustworthyness

    You will love it, but it will hurt your pocket book like few other vehicles. I had an 06 F350. Had it from bought it at 31k sold at 60k the past few years. The truck, chassis, transmission, everything was solid on it, and damn near unbreakable. The 6.0 is a smooth and powerful engine. But holy...

    No. That's not a "feature" of any mid size pickup. With the tailgate down it's 8' long, but it's not wide enough for a 4' object between the wheel wells. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

    They aren't that expensive. I have fully optioned 17 Colorado LT Diesel CCLB and got it for $7k less than sticker brand new. And have seen em new mid-trim for 33k and lightly used for less. Plenty on Autotrader. I'm pretty pleased with it. Lots of aftermarket support and parts are being made...

    Mid-Size Truck Seat Height

    I'm 6'1 260lbs and I have a Colorado. It's much more comfortable than the Tacoma was for me, but it's still not amazing. I did a roadrip in it, several hours a day for a week, and never hated it, but never really loving them either. I came away with, "eh, they're seats and they work" A full...

    Where to begin!!!

    I got a CCLB Duramax Colorado and it's a brilliant "little" truck. I only tow a little utility trailer for now, but otherwise it's my DD. 24mpg, with as much as 30mpg when cruising nicely. I have seen new ones in LT trim and a diesel for as little as $32k new, bit it's not always common. That...
