Your turbo will have a nice whistle to it now. Decent cheapish upgrade.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
The wicked wheel 2 isn’t supposed to whistle like the original, but I’m fine if it does. I almost ordered the original design just for it but was advised that the new design does more for you besides just help with turbo surge. Unlike some people I think a diesel turbo should be heard, or course I’ve worked on heavy diesels my entire adult life.
And yeah, good upgrade for 180$ that should hold me over just fine until I get around to dropping the coin on a ball bearing turbo.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Man....... I never get to wrench on my Cummins like these Ford guys do theirs. All I get to do is drive it. It never needs anything. The lube techs pop the hood a whole lot more than I do.
How........ boring.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Barbed Wire Offroad. Got them years ago for $100 for the set. Should have bought more than one. Last I saw, they're about $300 or so.
Kinda hard to when I haven't left yet
It's Hammerite black, as it matches the chassis (dark grey) in a can. But yes, essentially hammered paint.
I've got a few cooler, and usually run a small soft sided cooler. I don't eat too much out on the trail, just pack loads of water.

What, you can't do your own oil changes? Afraid to break a nail?

Aside from the agonizingly long time they take, who cares. Truck will be theirs again before it’s my problem :roflmao:

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I never lease and always end up paying the vehicle off and owning it out right . My Dodge is still worth money and I hold the title not the bank or dealer, so maintenance is a priority.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I own my truck not lease and it came with 2 years of free oil changes.
It takes about 20 minutes. I go walk around all the lots and they are done before I am.
It’s a Toyota, they couldn’t mess up the reliability if they tried.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I'll not be buying another big pickup this one should last awhile longer it will only be towing my "jeep" I figure the motor is like new if it needs a trans rebuild that's only 2k and even things like fuel injectors are not that expensive compared to a new pickup and can be done in a driveway with hand tools and inch pound torque wrench ... My next v8 equipped vehicle will be my "jeep "
