You got someone who can open up the diffs (especially the front)? Cause that's where it gets expensive.

Make sure they are reputable because I'm still in the predicament for my front differential

Too many drunks out to drive. I can hear guns and fireworks going off

Over the last 2-3 days I replaced head gaskets intake gaskets (twice) and modified some heater core hoses to fit better and save money versus the $100 hose that my dad and I bent while working now the only issue would be I need to add antifreeze and figure out the custom headers (we found out they are custom by a mistake that was made by whoever made them and they're thicker connected to the block then my uncles top quality headers for his truck) then I'm going custom and it's gonna be a great truck with more getup and go whenever I stop getting leaks from the most random places and for crap reasons

Finally got around to adding some underhood lights

All you need is a drive line specialty shop. When I had my 90 I had Tulsa Driveline Specialists put in my PowerTrax. It wasn't very pricey, they did it in a day, and half the place was busy on Big Rigs. They also were so impressed they told me they were wanting to start carrying it.

Ryan, your eyes would be bleeding.

 

I saw a ZL1 absolutely covered in Road Salt residue. They haven't put road salt down in over 3 weeks.

 

The ironic part??? The guy was at a "100% Gas" station. Yeah, he will pay an extra $2 for real gas, but won't pay for a car wash.

Alright. Just finished. Washed with Chemical Guys Mr. Pink, wheels with CG Diablo Wheel Gel 3:1 dilution, clayed with CG blue clay pad, finishing polish with CG V38 on a white Hex Logic pad, waxed with CG Instawax+, sealed with CG Hybrid V7, dressed everything else with CG Vintage Natural Shine VRP.

    • 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.
