Had to take Fred to the dealer today to get the windshield wiper recall done, and to find out why the wipers stopped wiping. The wiper motor gave up the ghost. They ordered one from Detroit and it should be here in a week.

Fred came home with a new wiper motor today. As cheap as the parts are, Iāll just replace it myself if it ever happens again. Iād prefer that versus not being able to drive my truck for the last 3 weeks.

Fred will be two years old next month and has 22,000 miles on it. Iāve been hauling gravel this week, which Iāve not previously done with this truck. Thanks to the 18 year old loader operator, Iāve now pulled more weight with this Godzilla motor than I ever did with my 2017 Ram Cummins 3500. It didnāt pull it quite as well as that Cummins did, but Iām shocked at how well it does with 24,820 lbs gross weight. Thatās about 800lbs more than the gross weight when I pulled @Greg and my buggies back from the PNW last November. The trailer is right at 3k and I hauled two loads of 13k of gravel in it yesterday.

The rack weighs 125 right now. I can unload/load it myself without the tent on there, but I donāt want to, because I have a tractor. š I just tip the rack up on one end and set that end on the tailgate, then lift and slide it in.
Thatās kind of what I do to get the tent up on my trailer. Itād be nice to have a rack for my truck but I donāt want to deal with bed mount stuff because I really like my roll up cover. I donāt have anywhere to store a rack like yours though so there is that too.
I have just left the rtt on my trailer for the last couple years.

It doesn't help if you already have a cover, but I run a retrax XR with a Yakima Overhaul rack so I can use them at the same time. It's not inexpensive, but it fits my needs perfectly.
