One of my pet-peeves with this truck over my GM, was the inability to control the bed light (on the back of the cab) separately from the dome lights. Sometimes my work has me working in areas of town that I do not prefer to work in, and having the rear light on in the dark, drew unecessary...

I wasnt happy with the amount of light from the dome light in the back seat. This is due to the dome light having to be put at the back of the cab to make a clear space for the sun roof. I ordered 15' of LED light strip from ebay and then cut it into three strips. Two are being mounted in the...

I mounted my Amber LED strobes from Strobes N' more in the grill lastnight. I like them. I may add a second set down lower and set them in a criss cross flash pattern. I am glad I got the E4s and not the E3s as I don't think I would have been as happy with the E3 light output. As usual, the...

Here are some sample photos. Unfortunately, the iphone camera doesnt really show the difference as much as the human eye can tell. First photo is high beams only. This photo is highs, with the fogs on. Can definitely see more light down load on the gravel, as well as on the sides, the...

In an effort to have more light output when driving on rural roads, I made it possible to have my FOG lights on, even when my high beams are on. For some reason, most manufactures make it so that when you turn your high beams on, your fog lights go off. This reduces the amount of light closer...

I am not sure, I'll have to watch that screen now and see what the range is without towing and towing.

Here is a WOT run with the trailer. Top left gauge is turbo gauge. I did have to let off a couple times, but for the most part, was still a WOT run. Sorry about the sun and "bumpyness". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtLGnrIlh6Y

Nope, sold it off to a "neighbor" last week. Was kind of sad, as the duramax and I have a long history...over the past 8 years. Everything from getting engaged, married, buying my 2nd house, 3 kids, lots of trips, etc. It was the longest I had ever kept a single vehicle, which is a testament...

I hooked the gooseneck up to my new 2011 F250 and took it for a spin yesterday. Very happy with the performance and ride. Took a video, its pretty quiet....except for the rushing air out the exhaust. http://youtu.be/1Popjsi5Mik

I was going to put these on. I bought some several years ago and put them on my 26' trailer and they've held up well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Amber-LED-truck-trailer-motorcycle-marker-light-30pcs-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem53da6236f2QQitemZ360146155250QQptZOtherQ5fVehicleQ5fParts I...

Also, what do you guys do to protect the wood bed? I've always slapped on a coat of oil based black paint every 2 years. Recently, someone said to use linseed oil instead.

So I want to deck it out with some LED lights....I am not sure how far apart to put them, thinking maybe every 3'? That'd be 10 per side. Then up top, on the gooseneck "V" I want to put some up there, not sure how many or where. I also want to build a "storage" area inside the "V"...thinking...

I forsee a wire brush wheel on a drill and oil based paint in my future...gallons of it :)

bringing and old thread back to life. I bit the bullet today and bought my first gooseneck. It is a 2009 Heartland trailer. Rated for 14k, tandem axle, each for 7kw (I crawled under there and checked). The deck is 7' wide and 30', including an 18" dovetail. It comes with ramps, a spare and...

I am a little opposite. I'd go bigger screen with better resolution over performance. If you are going to use it to surf, read email and watch videos, you wont be taxing the processor of any of the machines available today. I've had good success with Dell. I strongly recommend getting the 3...
