Re: Dodge 2006 5.9L Issues
mine has been rock solid. had some failures (radiator/injection pump) early in life, but I also wrapped the truck around the tree at 12k miles and these components failed within 6 months of getting it back. so from an engine/tranny point of view no concerns. Like any Dodge, have had to have front end work (ball joints/u-joints) done . I have 120k on it now, going strong.. Bryan410Views0likes0CommentsRe: Traveling without your firearms
It's a real article here is a link http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/01/15/gun-owners-encounter-with-police-disturbed-him-so-much-that-hes-thinking-about-canceling-his-ccw-permit/ Not sure how CPL training goes in his home state, but MI training you are taught that the first thing you should say when pulled over or engaged by an officer is that you have a CPL and whether or not you have a weapon with you. Also given guidance to have your hands in clear sight when the officer approaches the car, as they know because the tie between your license registration info and your CPL that you car has a CPL carrier in it. Since it is somewhat tied to the car, when I loan my cars out to folks, I make sure they know to have their hands in clear sight, and inform the officer that they do not have a CPL or weapon. Honestly I think the guy screwed up. First if I travel in another state or through one, I have to adhere to the reciprocity agreements with my home state CPL laws. It is my responsibility to know that. Second, even if I was not carrying, if I were pulled over in any US state I would have my hands in clear sight, explain that I have a MI CPL and whether or not I have a weapon/s in the car.

My truck is a bit bigger ~7500 lbs ready to roll. It has e-rated tires and has door post guidance for unloaded and loaded. unloaded is 40 rear, 50 front loaded 75 rear, 60 front I have a little more weight on front being a diesel but might give you some pressures to try. I do change them when I tow as it really helps to stiffen the back. I got lazy one summer and left them at 75 and prematurely wore out the center of the tread... Bryan PS you might google for the "chalk method" of determining best pressure38Views0likes0Comments
