Washed my truck sunday. Today when I was driving to work I noticed that my gray truck was now yellow from all of the pollen. Plus sneezing 15 times in 30 minutes when I wake up isn't any fun either. We need a good rain to knock some of this pollen down!

Yeah, every morning I get in the pickup and the windshield is damp and is coated with pollen, and I hit the wipers and it just smears like mud I get so pissed off. Have to stop at a station and clean the windshield nearly every morning just to see.

Yea, I'm from SC too. We have a bunch of pine trees around my house. It's bad. Especially today. The wind is brutal out there.

Awww poor babies... We just got sleet, ice and snow last night.... :lol:

 

Us too, and I actually had to get the snowblower out again! I had a good 6-8" in parts of my driveway.

I wish we had a pollen problem ( not allergic so it doesn't bother me at all). We don't have pine trees (or much for trees at all), its mostly dust, grass and weed pollen. We got light rain, sleet and then 9" snow last night. Beginning to wonder if springs ever going to get here.

I'm in Middle TN and we just started to get pollen. My truck is gray and I can see the yellow haze all on my hood and on my bed cover but it's not bad here yet though. It's was in the upper 70's all last week and this weekend and now they are calling for thunderstorms and temps in the 50's for the rest of the week. I just want it to warm up and stay warm.

I think I'd sooner have the pollen than the weather we're getting here in Manitoba :lol: . Low of around -19 celsius tonight and still 2 feet of snow on the ground.

It was looking like it'd be just about gone- tail end of last week and the weekend rocked. then Monday afternoon through the overnight it rained, then went to freezing rain, then sleet then snow. Ended up with maybe 2" of snow. You can keep the weather you've got, I like our spring temps being in the 60s, that's about perfect for me. I can deal with the cold, I've been in NH my whole life so I'm used to it and since I'm fat, I stay warm anyhow. :D Summer, not so much. I love my air conditioning. :D

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
