I got bored yesterday and decided to take advantage of the nice day and embarrass myself via picture taking ability :lol: These are just some random pictures of my truck around where I live. Nothing too exciting. The newest additions (that you can see from the pictures) since I last posted pics are the CB and whips and some anti-Ford/pro-Chevy stickers on the back :thumbs: . One of the skidplates is missing from the front because I was in the process of stripping and re-painting it. The plastic half of the front bumper was removed because the hillbilly in me couldn't stay away from the enormous snow piles in large parking lots and it almost ripped off a few times. I'll give an e-cookie to anyone from my area who can tell me where these pics were taken... Lol enjoy!

This one almost got my ass kicked by some angry drunk guy who thought I was planning on stealing his truck later... My truck is dirty here because I made the rookie mistake of believing that just because the dirt looks dry on top... Yea. :lol:

One of the RARE times my truck makes it into O/D. I was excited.

I'm looking to get into photography a little more. I've already started playing with Photoshop and it makes me go :flag: . Any advice from some of you more experienced photographers would be appreciated. All of these pictures were taken with a borrowed Nikon D60.

Thats the first time I have seen that truck without mud all over it :shakehead::nono::bs: .

 

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks! Haha yea my old man always tells me that I should try to go a week without getting it dirty. I tell him that if I'm going to get 8 MPG, I'm gonna enjoy doing it. Otherwise I'd drive a car. :)

The dash just gets wiped down on occasion with a damp rag and the gauge faceplate just gets some glass cleaner every now and then. I have the same issue with keeping it clean. I've just learned to ignore the dust.

Same here. We hit 70 on Thursday and Friday, and then it snowed on Saturday and Sunday. Nothing really stuck, but it was enough to be annoying.

thats a really nice lookin truck.. what kind of anntenna mounts are you using?

 

Thanks! They are actually the mounts for the old style truck mirrors where the mirror bar would get "clamped" in between the pieces of the bracket. I just drilled 4 holes and put half of the bracket inside the stake pocket and the business half on the bedside side of the stake pocket. The hardest part was getting the coax through the bottom of the bed. My holesaw wasn't doing the job so I resorted to the sawzall. It isn't pretty when you look into the bed, but it looks nice when I drive by :) Lol I'll get some pics up since my description was pretty lame.

What were you trying to accomplish in Photoshop?

 

Nothing in particular with these pictures. I have the basics down, but it seems like every time I play with Photoshop I find 100 new tools to use. Lol

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By dieselfan1 · Posted

      2026 3500HD.  Mostly empty. Grocery getter. What tire pressure are you running for 37x12.50x20. I have 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open  Country RT pro and been running around 55 lbs front and rear and it's too much. Tires are wearing more in the middle. Toyo says 45 front and 50 rear. Chalk test and it's still too much. I lowered it to 40 front 44 rear see what happens.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By chris21 · Posted

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
