How is the road noise/ride with these Hankooks now that you've ridden with them for a bit? They've caught my eye, great looking with a solid price.

 

 

Love your truck. Like the High Country grill you added!

Not great pictures but here it is had to reply to three topics I had started regarding this truck ha ha ha. Rides nice and the lack of road noise is amazing!

LOL, oh trust me ... you'll think of something. I got mine on new year's eve, 2015 - just over six months ago, and I haven't even gotten to the liner and bed cover yet. It never really ends. I get mine back tomorrow, had all black Katzkin leather put in, and they blacked all of my emblems out. Can't wait to see it!!!

Make sure you post pics! Who did the work for you? Thinking about leather in mine. You're going to love the blacked out emblems. Looks so good on my ride. 65be146a1122531fe907ebc3aad8aed4.jpg970f5c3433d291f5766392320ce70d0b.jpg Edited by muddy

Yes, sir, I sure will. I think you and I discussed yours once before - yours are painted black, which is the best way to go. I didn't have that option - they had to Plasti-Dip mine, but they showed me the process - they finish it with some kind of clear coat, etc. They pretty much have to around here (northern Illinois), with all the salt and winter crap, etc. The company is called Top Coverage - they're Chicago-area, with two locations. They specialize in doing the Katzkin leather seats, but they also do emblems, sunroofs, etc. I'll post pics as soon as I can.

Mine has the same color door handles as well.

 

I bought the ABS plastic gloss black door handles for mine, but chose not to put them on. The silver paint just looks so much better and there's something just terribly tacky, about sticking plastic handle covers, on a nice truck like that. I decided against it.

Okay, so here's pics. The Katzkin seats - I went with all-black solid leather (no perf), and all-black stitching. They couldn't Plasti-Dip the Texas Edition emblem, because the star is attached to the "edition" piece - due to the way you peel off Plasti-Dip excess, they didn't want to do it. I may just take those off, and buy the black ones, with the white background on the "edition" part. The seats turned out fantastic, can't complain. I paid $900 total for everything - I think the Top Coverage company here, gave my Chevy dealership a discount, because of all the business they give them. Pretty sure I got lucky there, because I was initially quoted $1,300 in total. I always appreciate a discount!

Thanks, but can't take credit - they really did a good job. If you want to get these seats in yours, go see your dealership - if you're in a decent size market area, they should have someone who does their cars/trucks for them. My Chevy dealership usually gives out a loaner car while the truck is being done, as well.

New 16 Crew Cab 5.3. Traded in a 14 GMC double cab v6 for this one.

 

So far I've only tinted all windows except for windshield. No other mods planned in the near future....I hope

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      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.
