The lady that had to count twice wasn't very happy, plus she had to count it in front of me, how uncomfortable that must have been. It took her 10 minutes, thank GOD they were all $100 bills and not twenties I'd still be there yawning to sleep.

Dealers now a days don't really want folks bringing in cash. Cash sales are not what they once were. That's what I've gathered, at least.

Thanks for the well wishes on the job hunt. I know something good is going to happen sooner or later, I just need to keep doing my part. I'm betting I can get the credit union to allow me to miss a payment or two so we'll see. Diesels hold onto their value fairly well vs the gassers, so having been upside down for awhile, I figured I'd be keeping my truck for a few years and get the chance to get from being upside down (which started way back when) but hey, if it gets repossessed, so be it. I still have a roof over my head and maybe means of some alternative transportation.. yeah my credit will suck forever, but it's only credit.. oh the messes we get ourselves into sometimes.

Credit will be bad for 10 years - after that you get to start over. The slate gets wiped clean, no matter how bad it was.

 

Pretty sure it's like this across the country, not just in MA .. but check on that first.

Set an appointment to get my exhaust done. All that'll change is from the muffler back. Essentially like this, only just one.

I don't like how the stock pipe exhaust drafts behind the rear wheel and holds dust, and the straight back exhaust on my old pickup drafted behind the tailgate and echoed off trailers. This should avoid both of those issues, and also tuck it up where it can't get smashed.

I like that, looks clean too.

If you tow you may get some extra noise with the exhaust straight out the rear. My V-Max was really loud that way while towing so I relocated to a side exit to make it sound normal with a loaded trailer.

Yesterday I did an oil change, rotated tires, swapped out my summer air for winter air (filled tires to 35psi) and installed the Borla direct replacement muffler. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed in the volume of it, considering its supposed to be the sport model. I thought I'd be able to hear it over my Volant intake but I cold started the truck this morning and I'm pretty sure it's quieter than stock, with a nice rumble to it though. I think next step is to cut out the resonator. If that doesn't do it then I'll take it off and sell it and get some sort of cat back exhaust. Here's a few pics

Hunting all day today and plan on loosening my helper springs up tomorrow, the ride is nice and firm right now but it can be uncomfortable. Hopefully loosening them up will still yield the same effect for helping out on the load but make the suspension a little softer, and maybe not creak, that'd be nice

Might take a few thousand miles to break in. Mine was pretty quiet when new. Now has about 84k on it - barks pretty good with my foot in it.

 

Mine come straight out the back. If I have to drive anywhere with the tailgate down, it'll fog it up with condensation this time of year. Other than that, works & sounds fine, towing or not. Corsa touring cat back. After 9 years, the clamp hardware have turned into stalactites, but it's all still holding together. Would have to snap the bolts off in order to remove it, though. You'd think they'd use stainless EVERYTHING on a stainless system ...

 

Doesn't look this pretty anymore, but you get the idea:

That's the reasoning for tucking it, it may end up to the side a little too.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
