Took it on a little trail ride after trimming some bushes so I wouldn't mess up the paint too badly.

And a pic of me holding my new AR-15 for the first time when I went in the middle of nowhere to shoot. You can see my trucks tail light next to me

We all love our trucks, and I feel like mine is the greatest thing that I've ever owned, but this is what's important. Enjoy every minute of it Tim.

Been there many times looking at the sunrise. I am only 165 miles below MB. Go there every year for the bike rally.. Enjoy it.

Question : Why would you put "Vortec MAX" on the engine cover when you don't have the 6.0L Vortec Max engine? Kind of cheesy. Sorry but that's one the the worst things you can do it put false badges on your vehicle.

Procuring a 6.0 is in process. But I wanted 3 piece covers and is rater it say vortec Max than vortec 6000 for the time being. I will probably spray them so it won't stand out as much. I didn't like seeing the coils and valve covers. The covers are for my liking. I'm the one who is under the hood every week. You're not so it doesn't matter if u think it should be on there or not

That little magazine on your AR is just adorable! :lol:

 

I'll soon have a total of 20 30-round PMags.

 

 

I'm surprised Commiefornia lets you have a rifle with the adjustable stock, flash hider and bayonet mount. Is that pre-ban?

It is post ban. Purchased it 2 weeks ago. And its not a flash hider its a "compensator" also has the mounting spot for the M203A1 launcher. I had to sign a document stating that by definition it is not an "assault weapon" it does not contain enough features to classify it as such

I did that too. But the other paper I signed says if the law changes I have to register it

Still stupid. Gun control doesn't lower crime anyhow. Michigan has handgun registration and even that might be overturned soon. No need for any of that junk.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
