It's supposed to be 30 and snowing on Tuesday, so trying to get as many of them re-sealed before it hits! I love my pumpkin spice.....wish they still had some left. Hopefully there will be a new scent this coming fall.

Few wks ago bought a gallon on sale for $29 and got a 16oz free :)

 

I hate winter

Total side note...

Ryan, do you off hand know the part number for your sill protectors? Not the still plate but the protector that goes over the paint of the rocker The previous owner before me scratched the cab rocker up and I want to add these to hide the marks.

A binder huh? And I thought I was weird for having a simple file folder. You might be on to something there.

Ryan, that's a great idea, I think I'll give it a try. Thanks.

When I sold my 2000 I had a similar binder. Handed t over to the guy and he was pretty shocked. My wife thinks I am nuts. Told her its for records and show what has been done

Link, however they look different and are about $13 cheaper than when I ordered a few yrs ago

Perfect, thank you I typically order from Summit as well.

 

Side note, I keep a file on all the trucks I have had as well. Has helped me get my asking price on two trucks I've sold, the guys were surprised I kept such good tabs on things. I should really do what you do and organize things in a binder, I can tell you are an engineer.

Got a manilla folder for every vehicle I own, including motorcycles, dirt bikes, and the ATV.

 

The car ones are at the bottom. You can see my '74 RD350 folder labeled on the left - it's thick because I did a frame-up restoration on it.

 

The 2 super-thick & worn out ones in the middle are the '89 S10 Blazer I just sold, and my '07 Silverado. Sad how the '07 is one of the thickest ones there .. and it's the newest vehicle I own, with the least miles. Hmmmm ...

 

Next to the Silverado all the way to the right is the file for our '86 Grand Marquis - owned for 13 years, 3 decades old, with 4x the miles on it, and the folder is HALF as thick. Goes to show ya something there ...

 

On top all the way to the left (next to filing cabinet) is the folder for our '93 Volvo 940, also extremely thin. Needed a bit of work to get it road-worthy too. The folder next to that is for equipment I repaired, but don't own, so it doesn't count.

 

File thickness tells the tale ...

    • 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.
