Say no to used tires! And that one in particular looks ancient, thank God you found out that it was bad before you risked your life even more.

Visited the Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton. They had an entire room of F-Bodies and Corvettes and then two more rooms. Incredible place.

Do you know the date? Looks like: (0312). That would be the third week of 2012.

Didn't know you could tell that. Looks like all of em are late 04 to early 05. Never would've guessed they were that old with so much thread and very little dry rot. That one is so dirty because they have been in mud a few times since I got them

Went to my grandparents today. About 100 mile trip I need to change my oil and get a new wheel bearing.

Okay Ryan, finally got the pictures. They stink though, I took these right before sunset, couldn't help but get too many shadows, and I hadn't dressed the tires or trim when I took these. But, good news is I'm going to try and get really good off pavement shots of it soon.

I cleaned off my truck after some sprinkling yesterday, and also wiped down the interior. I'm going to try to keep her cleaner from now on, she really deserves it.

 

Hopefly I'll be doing the front brake pads soon because they have begun to squeal a bit. Ac delcos will be going on to match the impeccable pads in the rear.

Well it wasn't just today but....

Rotated tires

Changed engine oil

Brake fluid flush

Rear brake change, drums & shoes

Replaced front driver side bearing. Can you believe it was a Timken?

Replaced AC belt a couple weeks ago, it was about to snap

Drove around to find a new place to live...and found one.

Now loading up the truck to put some none essentials in storage.

Busy week but worth it. My MPGs seem to be going up so truck must be happier.

Is the interior in the gmt900's that small? Our car seat fit with a lot more room to spare and it seems to have the same dimensions as yours, I'm surprised. It didn't reach that far forward, and both are extended cabs.

The seats appear to be all the way back.

Iv been in over 36 states and the worst drivers I've seen outside OK are Arkansas and New Mexico.

Have you ever driven through Rhode Island ……… “The biggest Little Sh**Hole in the Country” ? These are the biggest bunch of idiots on the planet, they re-define the word A**hole! They think that a turn signal is throwing you the finger…… it is unbelievable how bad people drive in this state. Even the cops will tell you that you take your life into your hands driving into Providence…No licenses, no registrations, no insurance …. they just don’t care about anything and think they can do whatever they want and get away with it. To solidify how corrupt this state is, what does it tell you when the House Speaker, the most powerful Politician in the state is raided by the U.S. Attorney's Office, FBI, IRS and State Police at the State House and his home! Do yourself a favor and avoid Rhode Island if at all possible!

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      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.
