The rest of the issues are focused on the latest bodystyle fail especially handling about 75% highway and 25% of what really are just gravel roads ...... and in my actual 2015's case.. well it was a pavement bucket. You just have to skip forums to see the thousand pages of threads on vibrations... paint issues.... 8 speed fails.... etc. It is what it is.

But ignoring all that..... my idea with my 15 having that stupid 9.76" ring gear.... swap it with a regular 5.3 trucks 9.5" and do whatever I wanted to it instead of being restrained with the 9.76" that offers nothing. My 15 would have a blower and whatnot too..... if it didn't have to be such a lemon.
