A very beautiful rig, sorry you have to sell it. It served you well!

Used my 13 Chevy 5.3 to pull my 13 000lb apartment on wheels to the shop so I could was it and detail it as unfortunately Im selling my 5th wheel trailer dam nice unit hate to see it go but it's times. Gota sell it now while it's still worth a bit and now that I moved into town I don't really have a place to park it. Iv bin living in that trailer full-time for almost two years including the -50C winters over in Alberta with no problems also had my nabour witch wasn't doing nothing for Christmas over and I cooked a turkey and had all the fixings pluss few gallons of rum.

I've been trying to sell my parent's '04 Sunnybrook for over a month now. No bites. Guess they're asking too much.

 

EDIT: Had the wrong name, lol - was thinking of the one they had 13 years ago ...

what is a Sunnybrook? Is that a camper?

Nice. You've exceeded average engine life by a factor of 3!

 

Good you got that belt fixed. Nothing more annoying than listening to it squeak hour after hour ...

Stopped at Napa to get a price on the Acdelco Auto Trac transfer case fluid. Almost $19 per quart! I decided to buy it another day.

Valvoline makes the specialty transfer case fluid now I believe it is $8 a quart

Most of the automatic gmt800 transfer cases took auto trak fluid.

 

Shoot, my dealer sells it to me for $8/ qt

Yeah, that stuff works as a replacement for AutoTrack.

Have to edit my prior post - this isn't the stuff I'm running in my truck. My truck takes this: GM DEXRON® VI;

Wonder if that tensioner you got recently is defective? Possible ...

On Saturday after an unusual sequence of events I was left with a broken windshield. No hope of fixing as it's a spider crack that has already spread a good deal...now to schedule for a replacement.

 

Note to all members:

Do not throw small glass bottles on your dash...they will bounce and they WILL break something!

How good/old is your power steering pump? I wonder if the bearing on the pulley is going out.

Nice! I'll have to check around for it. Last time I looked at Autozone they didn't carry it.

I'm pretty sure it just came out around November and I've only seen it at one advanced auto parts store so it's probably not all to popular

    • 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.
