I'm thinking "Bikini's will get many more vehicles stopping and being washed".

Any of you other late model dually owners have the 40-45 MPH shudder issue?

Not me. Is that a 4x4 issue, versus 4x2?

Spec. Don't talk to loud about the getting old part. It will be there before you know it, you will wake one morning and BAM your old. And as far as the dirty old man part, your tool will just be something else to wash.

Yearn for the choices of years ago when you could order the ratio you wanted, and more then just 2 choices as well.

I don't know Thomas... In that other thread, it seemed to be a pretty good cross section of all the Crew Cab trucks.. Suspecting that it is driveshaft related at this point....
As I said in the other thread, by the sound of it, it is something that I will probably have to learn to live with - or prepare for a long drawn out battle with Ford... I am really not nutty about either idea...
I can't afford another truck and I can't afford to take the time to try a bazillion things with Ford or my dealership..

Bigger tires are on my to do list. My goal is to get 275-65-20 which are a Ford factory sized tire that fit on the SRW's so won't need a lift. In my search for new wheels I have found Eagle 058 series in 20x7.5 and Americanforce Independence 20x 7.5, still trying to decide on which one I like better and trying to save up the cash. The AF wheels are way more expensive than the Eagles. I was on the phone with Summit Racing a while back(actually several phone calls) and they now have access the the 20 inch wheels from Eagle, they have the 16's and 17's in stock but Eagle is slow in making the 20's. The 20's are available but they are made as people order them around 8-10 weeks lead time. What I like about the AF wheels and the Eagle wheels is that there are no spacers needed between the rears, the wheels are made with the correct offsets to accomodate wider tires.
How about super singles on the back?
The rack on the gooseneck was something custom I built using fork mounts, basically a giant "T" that pinned in the receiver that was welded under the pop up.
For the new hauler, I looked at a lot of mass produced options as I wanted wheels on for ease of storage. Highly considered a Pipeline rack, but with the length of the bikes they would take up the ENTIRE 12' garage. A buddy mentioned some vertical racks, but there's nowhere to "hang" the bikes in the trailer. So out came the drawing board again. I'm back to fork mounts, but they are raised 30" off the ground, keeping the bikes on an angle should only take about 9'. Then store the wheels underneath. I have it made from wood right now, but once it's all ironed out I'd like to have it duplicated in aluminum.
The bikes on the trailer that year weren't too exciting, all mountain bikes, but we've all upgraded. I'm riding a 2014 Banshee Spitfire 27.5, and buddies have Kona Satori, Banshee Rune, Banshee Prime, Knolly Chilicotin, Marin Attack Trail, Liteville 301. Along with some hardtails and some fatbikes. I'm looking at a Transition TransAM for the less rough days. We all quit for wheeling, sold our jeeps and bought bikes. It's so much more fun. Other than the tree I crashed into tonight......................... I wanted to keep mine, and anyone else who comes with ride's inside, and not trash the trailer. I couldn't find that in anything other than a toyhauler. My pedals will gut your calves if you lose track of them for a second, would sure trash doorjambs on a trailer!

I may be missing the piece around the puck in the floor, I can see daylight around my 5th wheel mount points in the bed.

We say the same thing. Have to run right up to that line of where you're talent runs out. Then you crash or hit a tree.
I don't have them either Steve. Senix and a few others do. I did not know they were supposed to be there til he posted pics of his. Unfortunately my truck was a 6 plus months old at that point and the dealer did nothing. My buddy has a 2011 from another dealer that has nothing around the pucks either. Apparently the dealer is supposed to install them, and some have found them in the truck. I've searched the inside of my truck top to bottom and not found them.
I have a thick rubber bedmat that I roll out over them to seal the bed up and keep stuff in. Though since I picked up a dump trailer now I don't intend to put bulk material in the bed anymore.
