I have the Greenstuff. Which I thought was supposed to be a more off road oriented pad. I really like everything about them other than the dust.

I use the same pads and they said low dust, but my beautiful red calipers and wheels are always covered in dust. If that's low dust compared to their other stuff I would not use them. I may look into different pads next time

Well I installed the new CV front shaft and turns out... that was the problem the entire time (for the most part). No noise in 2wd or 4wd, but while decelerating in 4wd from 10 mph, it sounds like something is grabbing and releasing up front, but I ain't worried about it lol

My brother upgraded and has a gm now. And I may have pissed someone off. I piss a lot of people off

 

Yes especially other mods gloating about your weather. I wouldn't destroy anyone's property though

Washed it and sitting in the garage right now to get a Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite installed tonight, and if I get ambitious will pull axle riser blocks as well

Went this morning and pull my dumb buddy out of the ditch because he thought he could drive in the blizzard last night.

I like living in civilization close to freeway systems and a Starbucks on every corner

We have everything you have(I admit, less volume of places) within 20 minutes, except maybe a Fry's. And Tulsa's BOK center was one of the top entertainment venues in the country last year, beating some huge names from NY and CA. Paul McCartney even kicked off one of his Tours at it(Not that I care, lol).

 

We got snow today here. 22 degrees and 1 inch. I love this weather personally. It was 60 a few day ago.

 

Probably change the oil. Going to try From filter again. Read on BITOG that the newer tough guard and synthetic are great filters now.

I'll take living away from the big city with corn and cotton fields and open country less than 5 minutes away. Rivers and lakes and land to hunt on trumps a starbucks and congested traffic w bad drivers any day in my books. But if i do need to go to a big city there is one 45~ minutes away :)

There's really not a big city in Kansas. Which is fine by me.

 

SnakeEyes, you're braver than me. I've seen a couple Fram's pop pinholes, and won't use them. :lol:

I'd take the weather and maybe some California "medicine" tomorrow as I'll start working on the dock with temps -18° to -20° and an anticipated wind chill between -35° and-50°.

    • 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.
