Spent a long time and a lot of quarters giving mine a good wash. Came out nice and then I put the tonneau back on that I took off a few months back and its covered in pollen. Oh well. Most of the truck looks good. :lol:

If you have a place to wash it get a power washer, it won't take long for it to be worth it. I get all the big stuff off with the washer and then do the rest by hand. Does a great job, and is free.

 

Just remembered a 100k item I forgot, spark plugs and wires. I'll probably go with Delco or Bosch.

Every time I use AcDelco plugs and wires on anything they always work great. The one and only time I used Bosh plugs was in my Wife's Grand Prix and it kept fouling them.

I live in an apartment. So it's all pay wash places.

Just do it right. Wash before and after with dawn soap for better results. Youve seen what it does to grease in commercials. It will take everything including wax off. So less for your clay bar to work through, and then after will clean off leftover residue.

 

And DONT drop it. Pretend its soap in prison.

Thanks for the info! It must be very spongy

Not today but it was on Friday. I Installed my new V1 radar detector, Ended up Hard wiring it to the OnStar power feed, then took her for a 1200 mile drive to Michigan. Im really happy with the BB tune and also the new V1 that thing saved me a ton on the drive. Also did pretty good on mileage averaged around 75 mph all the way.20130719_163635_zps631d1fa0.jpg

Got my new alternator replaced with another new one (under warranty) and it fixed my flashing battery light that wouldn't go away. Got all this done at 5 am in under 20 minutes, not bad

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
