    Tranny guy needed (no not that kind sickos) UPDATE

    Agree to disagree. I had two dealerships try to sell me a new transmission and brought it to them and the only problem was a torque converter. They did a phenomenal job, saved me a bunch of money, and I got a bunch of life out of that truck. They have 188 reviews and 4.7 stars. You must be the outlier

    Choosing a bow

    Did you choose correctly?

    Choosing a bow

    Here’s a great breakdown. Hope it helps. matthews- a favorite of eastern tree stand hunters and noobs. It’s important to note that every Hoyt, bowtech, pse, and prime fan are closet Matthews fans too. PSE is for everyone who swears vortex are the same as swarovskis and male domestic partnerships. prime is the choice of the country’s best, brightest, and most good looking people. Hoyt is the choice of the prime shooters slightly uglier and dumber little brother. i hope this completely objective review helps guide your decision. P.S.- I know you didn’t ask for a bowtech review but bowtechs are for everyone who thinks it’s a good idea to put spoilers on Honda civics.

    Elk unit breakdown

    I guess it depends on what your tiers represent... if it’s based on pure trophy quality, unit 1 is no longer in the top tier. 2015 was the last really good year in there. What I can tell you is if you want to chase 300-330 bulls around unit 1 is the best in the state for those expectations in both numbers of 300-330 bulls and how they rut.

    Truck tuning

    I would like to get my truck tuned for the bigger tires I put on it but everyone I’ve called has told me I need to buy the actual tuner for $500. If I planned on switching tunes all the time I’d definitely buy it but I just want a one time tune. Does anyone know of a place in town that’ll do this?

    Good to know. I’ll call the dealership. Thanks

    Truck tuning

    It has nothing to do with racing or power. When you put on bigger tires all of those factory settings like shift points and speedometer gets thrown off. Just want to align the computer with tires on the truck.

    Truck tuning

    Thanks for the replies. it is an f150 with the 3.5 liter eco boost. I know 5 star has some good tunes that’ll adjust shift points and such, but again, I don’t want to spend $500 if I don’t have to

    Lol, I wish... turns out I have the other high demand $355 tag in 23 😩. I fudged up and thought there was only one high demand tag in there.

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    And they have an awful tow capacity because of the independent suspension. I think it’s like 6k pounds.0

    New 1/2 Ton - What would you pick?

    I’ve owned two 2013 3.5s one with a 6.5’ bed and my current one is the 5.5’ bed. Longer bed and longer wheel base handled my horse trailer better but the shorter truck is a lot better off road. I put 203,000 miles on my first one and my current one has 61,000. Both have been great trucks and do a great job towing but you’ll get 5-10mpg. They will run a little hot with a big load (8,000lbs) and 105 degrees or hotter between here and flag. It dominates it in cooler weather. Both trucks have a weird intermittent rear door lock actuator issue where about once a month they seize up and you have to manually unlock them. I did change the throttle body on the first one. Overall, I’ve loved both trucks!

  20. I may regret starting a debate, but would love some input... I need a bigger truck, but am terrified that I’ll hate a diesel for off- road and hunting. Looking at crew cab, short bed 250s and 2500s. I’m looking at 2017-new. Here are some questions. 1.) for those of you who have gone from a half ton to diesel, how bad is the drop off in off-road capability? Did you hate the change? 2.) what are the pros and cons for the ford straight front axle vs GM’s independent front suspension? Which is better off-road? 3) don’t worry about telling me about dodges, lol thanks in advance

    Half ton to diesel and Ford vs Chevy

    Thanks for all the input! The wobble is definitely a concern. I’ll have to do some thinkin drinking on it

    Half ton to diesel and Ford vs Chevy

    Yeah, I’ve seen it. From my research, pretty much all solid front axle vehicles are susceptible to that. There was a pretty common “dodge death wobble.” Certainly not ideal, but there there’s an aftermarket steering stabilizer that supposedly helps. Did you or your neighbor try that? I talked to a friend who had his 2011 f350 do a death wobble, so it’s not just these new aluminum alloy trucks.
