gassed up, 80 miles away from 50K (will happen this week)

 

My truck was a year newer and had 73k on it when I traded it. Already sold too. Never even got a full listing on the dealer site. Kinda bummed, I wanted to see how much they got for it. Jeep just hit 200 miles today.

 

Swapped out the cabin air filters, hadn't done it since 2011...

 

Old vs new (dark stuff is carbon material?)

Looks like carbon. Supposed to help with odors.

Tahoe will hit 124k soon. Mazda is at 55k(Bought 12/09 with 14 miles), and Corolla is at 73k(Bought 8/09 with 7 miles).

 

Only put 10k on Tahoe in the last 2.5 years. [emoji1]

 

Put about 600 on the Firebird since July. Two oil changes I'm that time.

Might start a how to and video series on the LTZ upper dash replacement for the NNBS. Unless I call my dealer for the past and they say they will get me a big discount if they do it like some are getting....

 

 

Well, OK Mazda dealers are getting some of the updated 2016 CX-5s with new interior and saw one with new anthracite wheels, which look fantastic on the white ones....... Too bad it has blindingly white leather. Won't take long for that to look like crap.

And holy schmoly, imagine how this interior will look after a few years of use by the average person.

White leather everywhere. You couldn't own that with, dogs, kids, or anyone who ever gets dirt or dust on them!

I washed her again this morning after the rain from the last few days. She wasn't even really dirty but I wanted her to be perfectly clean because she deserves it. My wife said im "traumatized". lol

Cleaned the truck and sitting in the garage hoping that we don't get any snow tonight. Also took off the stock rims and put on my 17" MB Gunner wheels. In a month I will put on my 20" MB gunner's back on. My wife thinks I am nuts for having 3 sets of wheels and tires.

So what's going back on?

Squeaky clean inside and out! Next up are the valve cover gaskets and cleaning the engine bay.

I had a freeze plug push out of the front of the passenger head while driving today. Puked all coolant out and got hot fast as I pulled her off the road. Wife came and got me, bought a new plug and coolant. Took 20 minutes to fill it and get it up to temp idling before i drove her home.

That's no good. At least it wasn't like that Roadkill episode where they had to out a new one in every 15 miles. Edited by SnakeEyes

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
