[QUOTE="CarlosnVegas, post: 2086051, member: 43405"] I absolutely love your truck. But…you gotta let go of the nipple and cut the cord with the stealership!! They will rob you blind! Find a reputable mechanic as most issues will cost penny’s compared to stealership. I am a licensed healthcare provider but completely refuse to give away my money! I run my ‘14 extremely rough. Off-roading Baja 1000 style, hunting, pulling out other trucks & towing. I carry around a Yamaha Rhino in the rear. I’ve gone through about six sets of tires. A few I picked up nearly new on those neighborhood sites for between 2 to $400. The mijo shops charge about $1-$200 to install. Finally had to change out shocks at around 180k miles as they started to leak. $500/4 practically new on OU/CL from dude upgrading to King. My shop charged $400 to replace. Yours not compatible w/ live valve shocks so beware. Asian import shop charged me $200 to change out all spark plugs. Just be sure to get the old parts back. Haa! Also if needed, have a drivetrain shop service your truck. While you’re at it, walk in with and have them replace your rear differential cover to one that actually has a drain bolt. Dans Driveline in Las Vegas did mine. I had the rear wheel wine and so replaced the rear pinion gear Yukon Gears Timko bearings, $700 for all the work. I’ve been too lazy to do the fuse 27 relocation so I just carry extra fuses! Haa! My glove box area actuator makes noise so I simply turn up the radio. I did upgrade my headlight bulbs to Amazon LEDs and rear LED bulbs with resistors. My truck has 250k miles. Regular oil changes and air filter. Congratulations! Carlos [/QUOTE]
