I agree. Fortunately with the way my living situation is and going to school instead of work, I don't have to take any of my vehicles out in this crap. I live a block from my school so I walk. Hoping I'll save on rust until I can move south.

I learned that I hate the drum setup on The 05-07c pickups today. Changed a friends Oil out to Amsoil OE. Then had to do his rear brakes. Pain in the ass and he had a blown wheel cylinder. Also found out his 07c crew cab doesn't take the same filter as every other gen 3 v8. Had to confirm with Danny that his 06 with flex takes the same filter as my 6.0 and my brothers LM4. This took a PF48, PF64, or M1-113. Every other Gen 3 I have dealt with took a PF46, PF61, M1-107 or M1-206. What should have been 2-3 hours helping out a friend took 6 hours. And the external torx bolts for the wheel cylinder was completely stupid and I happened to be missing the E8 so I had to go get one

 

Gabe07c will owe me one

I think my brothers 07 took a PF48 and my 06 takes a PF46. Both were L33's too.

Yea it suprised me when I went to do that first oil change on mine, after I did his truck, and I found out that I had the wrong filter. Edited by Daryl Z71

Went to the gas station and filled my 8 fuel jugs. I couldn't fit my fuel barrel between the door jamb and our Grand Marquis ...and with 15w-40 sitting in the crankcase, there was no way in hell I was going to fire it up with the indoor temp being 28°.

 

The truck now has an additional layer of pure white on it. :sick:

 

Never fails. Last year when the thing was Fluid Filmed from head to toe, I hardly drove in the salt. This year I get lazy & leave the undercarriage dry, and wouldn't ya know, I have to head out in every single salt event ... which has been just about daily lately. :mad:

Filled it up in preparation of the coming snow/ice storm. NC getting 4 to 8 inches. It is the end of the world as we know it. :)

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
