    .. got the engine spun up to around 5200rpm on the way home tonight ..no not on purpose.. truck downshifted too far while going uphill (maybe 4-5° grade) with the cruise set at 82kmh (50mph) (same route I drive to work everyday).. trans stayed in that gear while I had to jump on the brakes and slow the truck right down to 50kmh (30mph) to get the rpms down then it started shifting normally again. I hope this doesn't become a habit with this transmission

    .. got a cheap pair of black aluminum license plate frames on eBay.. put Silverado decals on them that were leftover from my engine cover.. for around $5 it cleans up the front and rear plates nicely.

    .. just to add to the winter is here thread.. I may be in the minority but I wait all year for winter to arrive.. I'm an avid snowboarder and there is no substitute for a day spent on top of the mountain or in the glades. This year will be rough as I'm unable to get any snowboarding in due to my back injury... but like ShubiSnax said at least I can still go out and play in the snow with my Silverado

    .. grabbed a couple pics this morning of the Adarac in the daylight.. uprights installed and uprights removed.. really like how quickly the uprights go on and off.. it's like having an instant cargo rack only when I need it.

    .. just finished installing a new Adarac cargo rack on the truck.. grabbed a couple quick pics in the dark.. fit is great and works perfectly with my tonneau cover. I needed something to haul the kayaks around with so I settled on the Adarac design as the side rails can stay mounted but the cargo rack uprights are a quick on/off with a couple bolts. I will also be adding cross bars at bed level using strut channel to create mountain bike/snowboard racks when needed. When I'm not hauling anything and the uprights are removed the rack side rails are barely noticeable.

    .. really miss not having a spot on the dash to put odds n ends, cellphone etc. Picked up a silicone mat on Amazon.. keeps my cell in place on the dash perfect now.

    .. eBay http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F132503284500 .. decal comes as a pair.. I was also considering placing them on the valve covers but didn't think they would last there so the engine cover won and I have extra for a license plate frame

    added some black bowtie decals to the center caps on my winter wheels

    .. hit 2000km in the truck today.. I know the DIC estimate isn't 100% accurate but I'm still really loving the gas mileage in these trucks.. especially considering my F150 was in the 18-20 l/100km range 9.6 l/100km = 24.5mpg 18 l/100km = 13mpg
  17. STRMTRPR
    Used $18 CDN Amazon TPMS tool to teach the new pressure sensors in my winter rims. Worked great!

    installed Jam Handles.. and put my winter tires on.. Suburban 20s with a fresh coat of white paint..

    .. lol it is unmistakable.. kinda like the smell of tire burnouts.. only without the smile on your face

    .. if you're interested you can put together a relatively simple 555 PWM (DRL) sensing circuit to only enable the HID when full 12VDC is applied (lights on - no DRL). I ran this setup on my F150 and Jeep HIDs with great success. Here's a link with details on another forum.. https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/need-help-making-a-circuit-to-sense-pwm-on-12v-auto-headlight-drl.91764/

    .. as long as he has a window to stick his head out that's all he needs lol

    .. relocated my front plate to the drivers side of the bumper to make room for my lightbar install between the tow hooks.. but now the wife likes the clean look with the plate to the side.. so the lightbar may or may not make it onto the truck lol
