Swiftks

I had to bring in 18 quarts to flush mine completely last week. Think it holds not quite 12 quarts. The remaining was used to flush the lines and what not as stated in the other members post. Something to keep in mind, if you're going to be using your own fluids... You need more than what it calls for capacity.

Quick Update... After getting the transmission flushed and all fuilds switched over to Amsoil Signature, the truck does seem to shift and ride smoother.... Could be placebo, only time will tell. The mechanic working on it did call me and tell me that during the road test before changing fuilds they noticed the following ( I had him write it down in case I need to take it to the dealership in the future, I can give them specific info.): "During the road test the pulse width modulated torque converter clutch engagement seemed to be revving a little high, never fully engaging at 100% engagement, and sometimes fluctuating 50 to 100 RPMs for seemingly no reason. This was not enough to trigger the diagnostic trouble code, but did seem and feel a bit unusual." Also, after changing all the fuilds, he also told me the ATF that came out wasn't dirty or discolored, but did smell a little on the burnt side. And also that the front diff was about 1/2 a quart low of fuild... Wanted to know if I had it worked on previously, and I said nope, only has 24k miles on it, must have come from the factory that way. So there's that. Anyway, will continue to update as needed.

Enough of this... My 2019 TrailBoss w/ 8-speed goes in to local shop tomorrow and gets full flush and replacement with Amsoil Signature. Also figured it would be a good time to swap the front and rear diff fuilds, as well as the transfer case fuild. Will update will results after a few days of driving.

Put on Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 295/70R18 on the stock wheels the other day. Look great and are really aggressive, which I like... Put they do rub just ever so slightly at full lock. And that's leveled and with 1.25" spacers.

Got new tires finally. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 295/70R18. Even leveled and 1.25" spacers, still very slight rub at full lock.... Very aggressive tires though, and look amazing. Then went and dropped it off for a detail.

I'm in The Woodlands area. Shoot me a PM if you want to meet up sometime... My schedule is pretty open.

No problem, it's pretty simple. For the new parts: Just slip on the wiring harness that comes with it, with the positive and negative terminals. Then cut the wireing harness after the fuse... So your cutting it between the fuse and circle connectors. Strip some wire covering to expose some bare wire on the ends. For the factory parts: Work up/remove some of the black wrap to have some play with the two wires that go the back of the factory 12v. Cut the wires off the back. You may want to remove your ground from the battery before you do this step.... You don't have to (I didn't), just make sure you don't cut them together, and make sure they don't touch once you do cut them, as it's a hot wire, unless disconnected. Strip some wire like you did earlier, and just connect the positive running from the dash to the positive of the new wire... Same with the ground wire. Use whatever type of wire connector you want, as long as they're secure. I think there's a washer on the back side of the factory 12v insert to remove it. Take out the factory 12v plug, drimmel out a slightly larger hole, so you can pop in the new one and secure it tight. You're good to go. Let me know if you need clarification on anything.... More or less just cutting the 4 wires (2 new and 2 old) and connecting them. Like I said just be careful with the two factory ones after you cut them, and don't let them touch; it's a live wire. It's not gonna kill you or anything, just scare you when they spark.

Nope, no noticable battery drain.

Yes, I installed with coils exposed, and the cover went back on, just fine. The area you drimmel out has nothing holding the cover in place, so doesn't effect anything. Hardest part is epoxying the thing in place.

Essentially the same thing.... I'd go with Borla personally. And S-type over Touring... Perfect amount of low tones.

If you want my honest answer, my opinion is Camburg is the best: https://camburg.com/shop/suspension/camburg-chevygmc-1500-2wd4wd-19-20-kinetik-series-billet-upper-arms/ Also, Icon and Baja Kits are very reputable as well.

Sorry, posted install in other wireless charging thread here:

Here's mine: And here's how I carry most days:

Even if there is any power draw, I'm pretty sure it would be minimal. I mean it would just be keeping power supplied to the pad. If nothing is on the pad drawing power, then I don't see how there would be any significant power draw. I mean if you keep a car charger or radar detector plugged into the 12v 24/7 do you really think it's drawing enough power to affect anything? The original guy in this thread did the same thing in September, he hasn't complained. I guess time will tell, but I'm not worried.

tapped into the 12v outlet wires, to get more power. It's always hot, but shouldn't be drawing any power unless something is charging on it.
