I'm surprised that this seems to work on Marshmallow even though it hasn't been updated since July 2011

[Chris]

I only have whatever 5.1.1 is

Chris, you need to charge your battery bro.

Ordered oem GMC mudflaps from amazon for $69, hopefully that was a good price because I didn't shop around at all.

[Jsdirt]

They're about $40-$60 for a pair on eBay, so that's not too bad.

 

I need another pair - somehow my driver's rear got tucked up into the tire, and melted the thing halfway through. Must've backed into some packed snow last season.

oh ok. They were $89 when I first looked at them.

 

How are they attached? Bolted on?

[Jsdirt]

Yeah, mine came with self-tappers that had a ball of wax on each end to seal the hole up when tight. That was nice.

 

Had to drill a 1/8" pilot hole, then the self tappers cut the rest of the way in.

Sounds like a future rust spot but you haven't had any problems?

 

I'll probably put extra sealant on mine when I do it. Or maybe just blast some paint on the spots I can get to. I would imagine you can't get to the inside of the front fenders unless you can see through the door jam.

I only have them on the rear - none on the front. So far I haven't noticed any rust, and I drive some of the saltiest roads in the country. When I put them in, I made sure that wax covered both sides of the screw.

 

Within 2 years of rolling off the showroom floor, my truck looked like it was 15 years old underneath. Been keeping up with used motor oil or Fluid Film treatments the past 5 or 6 years now. Helps big time. It froze all the rust. Haven't seen any new spots form underneath in over 5 years.

Reviewed my gas data for 2015

 

Total gallons: 1032

E85 Gallons: 1028

 

Total Miles 10,551

Avg MPG: 10

 

Avg Cost of E85: $1.89

 

Today filled up 19 gallons for $31. Not bad

To compare

 

Total 93 octane: 668 gallons

Total miles: 8447

Ave mpg: 12.98

Ave cost/gal: $3.02

I'm too lazy to total all that up. I log all my fill ups and repairs in a ledger. Once I even started to put it in Excel and then got bored after about 2 months worth I think. I know there are apps out there but still haven't gotten around to using those as then I'd have my written copy and digital. I'm pretty sure I used more than 1028 gallons doing a rough guess at 20 gallons for 52 weeks.

 

 

What's really painful is when you find your logs from 10+ years ago and see the prices you paid in high school.

Where I'm at, I AM paying the prices I paid 12 year ago. Reg is 1.49 a gallon right now.

[RyanbabZ71]

When I started driving 96ish $1.04 was the cheapest I ever paid

I remember heating oil at .60 cents a gallon, and gas at .74 - cheapest I ever paid was .88 cents a gallon.

 

Sure got alot more bang for your buck in those days, especially with cars, trucks, and outdoor power equipment.
