Hey guys... I know pretty much everyone on here doesnt know me seeing I am not a full contributor to tech stuff or general information, but I just wanted to let everyone know I made it back from my deployment, been gone since July of last year and made it back home early this February. Just in time too, I was able to be here for my second daughters birth in which she was born safe and healthy this past Friday on the 19th. Well look forward to occasionally giving what input I might have to offer to those inquiring about anything and as I stated before I left, I have already started the process in lifting my All Terrain Sierra. This Friday I am purchasing my 6" Fabtech lift, I have already bought my wheels (18" Fuel Offroad Gauge wheels) and my tires (35" Toyo Open Country M/T), hopefully I can have everything put on by the end of next month, if I get a chance around to it, kind of hard with a wife recovering from a birth and a first child running a muck in the house. :lol:

Welcome back brother! Congrats on the addition to the family. I've done 4 separate combat tours in my career. I've been through Desert Storm to Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Africa, 3 tours in Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq; pretty much every place I've never wanted to go at least once.

Thank you for your service. Glad to hear you are back with your family.

 

Having an almost 3 year old and a 6 month old I sympathize with your lack of sleep. Six months ago my wife was home from the hospital from a cesarean section and she, our newborn son and potty training daughter all need a lot of attention.

Wow... you pretty much nailed down my situation except my first year old is only 2 which she will be turning three this June, but we have also started the potty training with her. My other one less than a week old is actually doing fairly good, barely wakes up through out the night, but its only the begining, I know it will get worse just like my first one did.

 

To all, thank you very much for all the kind words and congratulations. It is great to be back, but I know it wont last too long, in my career field in the Air Force we deploy a lot and as I was gone, my window for returning starts this December. I will post pictures of the rig once I get everything slapped on.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
