Today I pulled off the passenger side door panel and switches and removed the door lock actuator and locking assembly. Can;t wait untill the new part comes in tomorrow and put it on.

Bald tires do better in sand I've learned than mud tires that's for sure.

 

 

That's because mud tires dig, bald ones allow you to float on top of the sand.

I bought a 135$ rolling one its got 5 drawers and an open area in bottom, its the flimsiest thing I've ever seen and one of the drawers is a half inch less wide that the one its supposed to be identical to. I guess you get what you pay for..

 

 

Getting my tires put on right now, not sure why its taking so long..

Craftsman is hit or miss I found. Before I took this job it worked in the shop at a dealership and I started working out of a couple Craftsman boxes- one 5-drawer workstation sort of thing and a smaller chest on top of that. The small chest was fairly decent but the big one couldn't take weight at all. When drawers were closed the big one that had my air tools would always fall off it's tracks and jam crap up. I ended up buying a big Matco box which of course is loads nicer but it also cost a pile of money and now it just sits in my brothers barn back in NH.

thats exactly what I have and its doing exactly what you said... someday when i get my own place ill have a nice one, this is the one I have.

Yeah mine was similar I think- the bottom on mine would be 2 drawers where the big space is on that and my top might have been a tiny bit taller/more drawers. No closeups but here's a pic from my past life:

Well the sun finally reappeared this weekend so we had a garage sale so the truck got to load up the table and stuff we were selling. Then cleaned up the house and is full of trash and recycling to be taken recycling center after work today. Also this week going to start moving packed up boxes to a storage unit until we move into our new house (once we find our new house.) Finally, I need to finish mowing the lawn and return the borrowed lawn tractor I have so it's going to be a busy week for the truck.

Finished the double din install and put my dash back together

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
