Went to the dump got rid of a bunch of scrap metal. Also went to the lumber yard and got some lumber to build a raised garden for the wife.

It's the same reason the company decals on the side window are covered over....anonymity. Pretty simple. And no... thousands of people don't see it daily... I don't live in never ending city lol.

Cleaned the calipers and started painting them with BBQ paint

Those look like the same calipers on my Z28. In fact I think they are.

In all seriousness, I don't have many tools in my toolbox. Odds are if something breaks on the road, I won't have that tool with me anyways. I just keep the basics. Small socket set, screwdrivers, crescent wrench or 2, random pliers, 4-way lug wrench and extra oil.

You forgot the duct tape

I quit my job yesterday, got the new Weather Tech floor liners and put them in today (front and rear for quad cap) Not too sure about the Weather Tech liners.. they look nice but they slide easily and won't stay in place. I guess I just can't win when it comes to decent floor mats. The Husky liners I've had in the past would warp and not stay flush. :nopity:

Why i got a new harness

 

You must have have had a non-functioning button or two, eh?

 

That wheel looks like the one I got from AutoWoods; mine's in Cherry.

It all worked. I repinned it when i messed it up the first time. Pulling it back out destroyed it. And mine is from Autowoods

Well Denali bezel is coming. My checking acct hates me. I need to delete all commerce apps from my phone. Still need the front air dam and rear shackles, as well as rotors to finish my brakes. Today is a nice break. I havent even opened the garage and dont even want to see my truck. It will be a relaxing day if i can stay out of the garage. I got my swamp cooler functional in the garage so the 108° was kind of tolerable in it.

Those things worked great out in Phoenix. MMI had them in their shop classes, and pretty much every garage in the valley had them too. Way cheaper than running A/C 24/7, that's for sure.

 

Was a novel concept for this East Coast guy - those don't work very well when the dew point is approaching 90° ...

Always wanted to ride dunes ever since I opened my first Dirtwheels magazine over 30 years ago. Still haven't done it! Closest I've got is local sand pits many years ago. Had some crazy steep hills, some with inverted cliffs at the top - used to love climbing those. Not sure if I could still do it now. Had no fear in those days - we used to have a functioning healthcare system, lol.

Drove the "Pig" 600 miles pulling the big trailer loaded down, got 9.2 Mpg at 60 MPH!!!! I was going to stop and weigh it but I missed one truck stop and said oh I know where there is one just up the road, still waiting to find the one just up the road!! :jester:

    • 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.
