Well, first off I should probably get some presents for people.  Might do that tomorrow after work.  Christmas eve isn't a paid day off but they say if you work a half day you get the full day paid, so I may have to come in in the morning.  At night we have my mom's side of the family over and eat dinner and open some presents.  X-mas day we open the presents from "santa" and go to my grandmas on my dads side for lunch and dinner.  For New Years I don't know what I'm doing yet, seems like all of my friends are going out of town.  If any of them are sticking around I'll probably hang out with them.

real x-mas weather.  I live in Milwaukee and it's been cold, but no snow yet.  Heck I think it was nice enough that on sunday I was running around wearing a sweatshirt.

Staying here at home.  Since cattle gotta be fed everyday, it is tough for all of us (actually dad and I) to leave for more than a day.  35+ relatives will be coming to our house on Christmas day to celebrate, thank God we have a big house.  

 

New years, most likely stay at home at get sick.  I've been sicker than a dog for the past three new years, why stop the streak?   :D

We're taying here at home and my mom and dad are coming down for the week of Christmas.  For New Year's, probably stay at home and watch all the New Years Eve shows, and drink some beer.  Never been one to want to get out on New Years Eve.

We're supposed to go visit my wife's sister for Christmas day.  (About 120 miles each way.)  They recently moved into a new home (for them).  However, since I've never seen the place, I need to have my in-laws give me the low-down on wheelchair accessibility.  If it's not accessible, we won't be going.  Add to that, my 16 YO son just came down with mono.  We may be enjoying a quiet holiday at home.

Don't have a whole lot planned for the holidays.  Going to celebrate Christmas with my moms side of the family this Sunday, and with my dads side of the family on the 25th.  Don't have to travel more then an hour, so thats kind of nice.

 

As for the new years, I really don't know.  Might sit around with some buddies and drink a few beers, or I might do nothing so I can get up and go deer hunting on the 1st.  I will worry about that when it gets closer, because right now I still have shopping to do.  And as long as it took me to find a gift for my sister, its gonna take forever to find something for my mom.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
