This one doesn't have the rear vents either, except the ones under the seat. My old truck had the center counsel so it had the vents built into them.

Yeah that's how my 02 was as well, luckily my passengers don't bitch lol

I remember getting into the 1999 when my parents first bought it, and being impress with the rear vents and all the other features it had. It was my parents first pickup too.

Do the rear vents work on all settings or only on the floor setting? I usually roll around with the heat on the windshield because I don't like heating blowing in my face, so would the rear seat passengers be getting any heat on defrost setting?

I've only checked mine between the floor, and dash setting. Mine only work when I have the airflow set to come out of the dash vents.

Got my axle shaft (driver's side) replaced last night. I had no luck getting the flange out to replace the axle seal so I'll have to tackle that another day. Now the truck rolls a lot quieter especially in 4wd. No more clicking. The new shaft where it mounts to the flange was a different design compared to factory but bolted right up without any issues. I was so glad it came with a new axle nut that included the washer. Just a pain to torque it down but all went pretty slick. Next up is the rear shocks.

Monroe OE Spectrum Light Truck. When I first bought the truck I HAD to replace the front since they were toast and I am pretty happy with them so I figured to give them a shot for the rear too. I would of liked to get the Monroe Load Adjusting shock but they're pretty pricy and don't think I need all that.

I finally drove her since last Wednesday and as a gift she had two pretty bad fuel leaks from the fuel pressure regulator. The first was when I first started her this morning which I was slow to notice so a ton of fuel was lost. I then began to drive out of the complex and she was leaking again!

 

After that I managed to make it to work but I think I'm going to buy a new FPR since this one might be bad, or at least the O ring is.

 

I can't imagine why GM thought that this FPR design was logically sound.

I find myself asking that question about hundreds of different GM designs ...

Yes but this is potentially a safety risk with the fuel leaking directly onto the headers and other hot parts, along with the general mess that it makes. It's pretty aggravating.

I drove mine to visit my Fiancé at her internship. Thinking of calling a guy about putting a tint strip on the windshield.

Changed my drivers side light bulb. Surprisingly not bad at all. Had to remove the washer bottle fluid bolt so I could get my hand in there.

Ordered my new rear shocks from Advance, they're "suppose" to be here tomorrow. Also stopped by local salvage yard...again...this time I found the driver's door courtesy light/reflector housing. $10, works for me as I priced them out at $40 online. The housing was missing when I bought the truck...surprise, surprise.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
