Be glad these trucks don't need friction modifier. I did my internship in a Ford shop and whenever I popped the cover on a truck with a LSD the smell made me gag. :lol:

:O

I think mine have been done once or twice since I've had my truck. Plus tranny pan drop and filter yearly.

I keep saying I'm gonna take care of it but I either forget or something else needs fixed more

Changed my oil, greased front suspension, and rotated tires. All was well till I got to the passenger front and found this:

That's right, my brand new lift snapped my sway bar end link. Not even 3k miles on it. I'm going to go back to the Rough Country sway bar end links. Those were easy to install and didn't break, how about that!!!

Just got my front tint replaced so it's basically limo all the way around and matches outside but inside it's clearly different lol

 

And just rotated my tires I'm cold and done for the day now

I don't see how you can drive at night with tint like that. I can't see out my back window after dark and it's 10% Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I returned my tune back to stock due to I have to take it to the dealer to have them look/fix a whine/vibration in the T-case when I put it in Auto or 4hi/lo. All I can say is HOLY CRAP, I didn't realize how much it changed my truck. Cant wait to put the BB tune back on. Also hoping they don't have a issue with my level kit since this will be warranty work.

I figured they would, I know its not any of those parts making the noise or vibration its something with the t-case. Only does it when I put it in 4wd or auto

I have no problem driving at night no reason to look out the side windows while driving down the road where I live

Installed new spark plugs, Serp. Belt, and ABS sensor that I tore up replacing the rotors and brakes on the Colorado. Such a nightmare to work on!!!

Unloaded more junk. Put my blade on my quad to plow my yard. Sold an old canopy. Hopefully sold my 5.3 and power train for over double what I paid for it. Fixed the 03s leaky washer pump, put in my hir1 9011 and 9012s and did the 6 hi mod as well as new wiper blades

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      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.
