Ready for the “it’s not a truck” comments 🤣

I have a 95 k1500 that's an absolute beast in the snow when it runs off lol. I use it for recovery in the winter just to help people out. I have recovery hooks on the front but I'm looking for suggestion on the back. I can get a v bridle that'll chain around the ball on the back but should I switch to a dring? Looking for suggestion I'm relatively new to this and towing from the fronts never fun lol.

This might be a stupid question but bear with me, I am new to this whole HD truck thing.

I have a 2017 F350 with 12.5/35” BFG KO2s. I live on Vancouver Island so I rarely deal with snow, but I will soon be driving to Calgary, Alberta through the Rockies for Christmas. Of course, I will be anticipating miserable conditions and heavy snow on the highways (temps around -20 Celsius). My question is what PSI you would suggest running for this kind of trip that will safe and maximize traction? I will not have a trailer attached and little to no weight in the bed. Thanks!

What is realistic mileage for a 1998 k2500 with the 5.7? Do they get about the same as the 1500?

I use my truck quite frequently but my bed has a plastic liner that I don’t want to get rid of due to the price of a new one. I want to coat the one I have with something, i’m just not sure what would work best on plastic. I was thinking just regular spray in bed liner, or maybe undercoat. Not sure if anyone has any advice. Thanks, (I included a pic of my truck, an ‘89 F-150 that I daily drive.)

adding this limited slip oil in open diff since one tire spins but other moves in opposite direction? any advice ?

I’m considering options on increasing horsepower on my truck(low budget of course) I’ve opened up the exhaust and put a high output alternator on it for the stereo, but I’d like to compete with some of my buddies if I was to do some light racing 😉 (Ignore the bumper, that was younger me who built that) I’d like to not pull the motor out and rebuild it, but that’s always an option if it’s cost effective It also has a rebuilt 46re with some heavier duty parts

I purchased a used ranch hand bumper and the guy who I bought it from gave me the hardware including these C brackets. I have it securely installed and hooked everything back up and for the life of me I can’t figure out what they’re supposed to be for. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 RST I currently have 275x65 tires. Do I need to lift/ level the truck to fit the tires? Any advice would be appreciated

I can’t find many photos of how this would look and don’t want to make my truck look super silly.

I eventually plan to get both offset rims and a lift but as I can only get one right now which do y’all think I should go for, and will a 4 inch lift look silly with these sized tires?

Hello, my grandfather has a 2002 dodge truck dr1500. The top part of the dash is completely broken. He isn't very good with technology and I would like to order this part for him. Any help? Thanks!

Really considering searching for one for my first truck.

I recently purchased this super clean, straight bodied 1994 1500. I got it at a good price and am left with about 15k to spend on it. I could probably save this money but I would really like to invest it and make this a fun and nice daily driver.

The motor is pretty sluggish but it runs fine and no outstanding issues with the car. Interior is really clean and pristine as well. I was going to get a 383 put in and a Holley efi but the quote for both is coming in at close to 20k which is more than I want to spend and doesn’t leave me room for anything else for a while.

Recommendations for how best to use the remaining 15k?
