It still has the body on frame jitters but expansions and potholes are night and day difference

Was behind a Patriot, with off road tires, roof cargo tray, and a straight pipe.

They are so gutless I can't imagine wanting to take one outside of a parking lot.

Anyone have any thoughts a fluiffilm. I have a buddy who owns a shop and is doing undercoating with it. Thinking about having doing my truck living in new England and I want to keep it for the long haul hopefully

What state? And how many plates do you have on your truck?

 

I ask because I'm in MO, and with "hauling" plates they only give you one, and it is REQUIRED to go on the front....nothing on the back. However, standard plates go on front and rear.

Changed Personal plate on back of truck. Commercial Indiana Transporter plates front of truck and on back of trailer.

 

 

716,603 - oil changed, greased, front tires changed to Michelin LTX A/T 235/80/17 gauged 9/32nds. Changed license plate bulbs to 6000k LED bulbs. Couldn't see plate before over red light bars. Billet grill put back on for winter.

Enjoying the new ride. Much bigger difference than replacing 125k miles shocks. And I don't think they liked the old tires, the crashing sound is gone too.

Have always wondered about putting efans on the Dmax.

 

Replaced my left hand upstream oxygen sensor and took some measurements for a rear bumper I want to build.

I think with the efan set ups these days they would be fine, i believe they could pull enough CFM's to handle it, but I feel like the clutch fans are better suited for diesels and more reliable

Went out shooting yesterday. As I was leaving I was given a load of firewood so I got a win, win, win yesterday. I consider it a third win as I got to put an actual load in the truck to haul for the first time. Bed was full and the truck didn't squat but maybe an inch.

      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.
