I go to KFC and sacrifice a chicken to the fuel milage gods, wipe the grease & breading from my mouth and put the pedal to the floor, most smiles per gallon allowed by law.
I never said I had issues?? Where did that come from?
The upper control arms worked flawlessly and still are after multiple offroad events. RC said the arms are designed to work with a minimum 3-1/2" lift, which I verified by cycling the suspension, so I cranked up the coilovers to 3-1/2 and...
Installed eibach suspension, with 2-1/2" lift, the stock control arms wouldn't give me enough camber. Installed the rough country control arms, but they require a minimum 3-1/2" lift to keep ball joint angles correct, so cranked them up and added 1" spacer in the rear.
So in my experience...
This is a common thing for all vehicles. The parking pawl in the transmission has some slack, and with the transmission internal drag, on start up it moves the drive line slightly until the pawl seats. Not dangerous, just a thing. Set the parking brake if it's an issue.
BTW love the color...
Factory TPMS just install and learn, same as rotating. I've had to initialize or "turn on" the sensors occasionally, but pretty straight forward. I have the OEM set of 4 tires and set of 5 offroad tires, and can switch between any of them w/no issues. If using aftermarket sensors, be sure and...
got mine from 5 star, SPD has the option for stock pipe diameter or 3" for catback system

No CEL, down pipe had a cat so no issues. I just selected the tuner I wanted from 5 Star, filled out the questions and had a tune and tuner in a couple days. The turn around and service was great, I had no reason to contact them.
Did an SPD down pipe and full 3" exhaust w/ 5 Star 87 octane Performance tune, and Holy Crap the difference is huge! Would do it again in a second. video of the install. 5 Star tunes for your specific truck with the down pipe, and the '23 tune IS different from the '22 according to all I...
If it needs that much weight there might be a tire problem. My son will stack weights and thinks it's normal, I don't like doing it. Too much of a chance that they'll fall off IMHO
There is more to the down pipe than just cutting a flange and bolting it on, watch the following video of doing mine and at the 2:20 time stamp, you'll see the machined ring that extends into the turbo from the flange. This ring is necessary for proper flow and to prevent leaks. reprograming...
I've purchased 20+ vehicles worth from them and never had an issue or complaint. When I get a new vehicle with the covered lug nuts, I order a replacement set immediately and throw the OEM ones away. All my trucks get the splined nuts.
Get all my lug nuts here, They're great

I personally like the splined nuts, and order an extra socket!

My '23 has the ASS Delete, I can confirm there IS an aux coolant pump, and I'm 99.9% sure the pump is still in the transmission. It would have been cost prohibitive to make mechanical changes to eliminate a simple electronic option.
