Approx 13k a year on mine. Hopefully that'll go down this year, since I'll have a highway trip here and there, and virtually no DD. It'll make me miss the truck though, and that'll make driving it even better :)

With my drove to class being 125 miles one way on the highway at 70 MPH ill be getting an exhaust with less drone. Looking at MBRP. I do that drive once a week and looking to drove cross country in the next few months going to my old base

"Own your own business....experience freedom" as the commercial says...HA!!! I work my regular day job and then run a small business on the side too so it gets pretty crazy sometimes. But I do enjoy the 2nd job I do so it's not bad.

My wife will take the truck to a shop tomorrow to get an estimate for a spray-on box liner.

 

My neighbor got it done on his Dodge and it looks awesome.

Sometimes I'm thinking to start a small one on the side too. Problem is only that we are so busy in the summer.

You won't be disappointed, make sure you get them to spray over the rails too. I've had it in 3 trucks now, never go back.

Appointment for Wednesday. $ 525 CAD. I think it is ok.

 

Thought about to do it by myself. We got a big shop at the company I'm working for. But as I said. We are freaking busy in the summer.

 

I make more money working than I would save by doing it on my own.

And the guy is a pro. I'm not.

How in the hell does that happen? Did they come and get you or was it just left like that? If someone left their car against my truck like that they'd be finding alternate transportation home afterward.

Yea I get to work around 5:15am. Sometime during the day (left for a meeting at 2:50pm) this car backed in and was against my bumper. WTF. I had a different car do it to my Tahoe earlier this yr luckily no damage. People are idiots

 

another reason why I dont drive the camaro to work. Everyone gives me grief but there is no way.

Is the lot just for where you work? If so I'd of tracked them down and beaten them. :lol: Or taken a bat to the mirrors since they clearly don't use them anyhow.

yea pretty big lot. I didnt fly off the handle because I didnt see any visual damage and I was running late to a meeting in another building. Plus there were tons of people in the lot. I took a pic for evidence.

I would have pushed it all over the parking lot. :lol:

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
