Too bad they are now obsolete

That's the way my luck runs, now that I put it on my truck I'll probably trade it next week. Lol

Filled it up and stopped by Walmart and bought some McGuires leather wipes to clean my seats and some applicator pads to put some tire dressing on, wipe on only never spray. I never realized how many women and girls were into trucks until I went into Walmart today, in the parking lot a girl got out of a Sierra with a 4" lift and black rims and then there was a young girl inside buying mossy oak floor mats and seat covers for her truck.

They are a rare breed nonetheless lol

My daughter is a 25 year old Scientist. She's been shopping for a new Colorado/Canyon, but she wants a Cyber Gray Z71 4x4 Colorado Crew Cab Long Box. We found a Short Box equipped exactly like she wanted last weekend. There was a dealer that had a long box exactly like she wanted, but it had a damaged drivers door that they had to repair. She passed on the phone, but was going to look at it on the weekend. They sold it on Friday. Not many on the lots.

 

Going to check into dealer locating one for a trade, or possibly ordering one if that don't work. They are on constraint right now. I think they are busy building dealer orders, and 2 wheel drives. It wouldn't let me build a 4x4 the other day.

 

The leftover 2014 1500's have some good incentives if you like red and white.

My dad backed his truck into the pond :crackup: Had to pull him out in my truck. Truck didn't even struggle a bit

    • 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.
