Like the mount, link to that and how does it attach?

 

 

I started out with the proclip center mount. it simply pushes under the lip of the leather dash and stop onto the silver trim piece that goes around the radio cluster. This piece is very sturdy for what it is. All thought i can tell that with too many install's and removals could create a short life span for the clip. But now that i have it installed there is no reason to remove it again.

After the proclip is installed you can use virtually any cell phone clip/holder. I actually happened to have this laying around the house so i used it. Because of the size of my iPhone 6 plus and using a dust/waterproof case i am very limited with any clip on dash mounts so I'm pretty sure the magnetic style of this is about all i can use.

To make this mount work i stuck this to the back of my phone case.

Finally to power the usb cord for charging i tapped into the existing dc power wires with an additional dc plug which is all hidden behind the radio. Reaching the dc wires while removing minimum dash parts kinda sucks. But where there is a will there is a way!!

Thanks for your interest and letting me share. Hope i can inspire somebody to do something similar.

Cleaned the bed and undercarriage and the carpet. Carpet mats were definitely not made for hunting trips...

get some husky x-acts. Knocked over a coke today and not a drop got on the floor of the cab. Well worth it IMO

Older pic but got her an alignment and tires rotated and balanced. Also hit 52K on the clock. Thinking of going back to color matched on the front and vinyl wrapping the front and rear bumpers.

I washed the truck as soon as i installed it. It came with two weather strips. I used both on the front of the bed because the tail gate seems to be pretty good. Once i washed the truck i opened up the tail gate and their was just a few drops of water in but i think that was just fron the normal gaps in the tail gate nothing that the cover let in. Im very pleased with it. Also i have a 2016 so if anyone else has one and was wondering if any items from the 14-15 will work they do no issues.

How do you like them? And were they hard to install / how long did It take you? I'm thinking about picking them up and wondering if I can do it myself Edited by bigsam94

They were pretty simple once I figured out where to start. From plugging the new bulb in to pulling it out of the shop was maybe an hour. The easiest way I saw was to pull the airbox and start from the passenger side using the passenger OEM plug for the signal plug. Forgot to mention I am horrible with wiring stuff ,so if I can do it anybody can lol

Did an oil and filter change, tire rotation, and new rear pads and rotors (hoping to solve my shake and vibration while braking issue, really noticeable at high speeds). The braking issue I had in my other truck as well and that's what solved it so I'm hoping that's the issue here as well.

 

Found out at 37k miles, right after bumper to bumper, is when your third brake light starts letting moisture in. Gonna go to my dealer and see what they can do for me, they are pretty good to me and I believe they'll get it replaced under warranty

Not today, yesterday, but did my 30,000 mile service. (Which is essentially an oil change and tire rotation).

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That's part of the problem...the EGR has already been replaced, and I've already had the complete intake assembly removed, and the EGR passages were clear at that time. That leaves wiring, PCM, or another variable that I wasn't expecting. Best I can tell, it's not wiring or the PCM, so I'm grasping for straws.   The PCM uses the MAP reading to confirm the requisite loss of vacuum in the manifold when the EGR activates. Since that's vacuum related, it involves a lot of other systems which could play a role.   The overall diagnosis has to be considered too. The fuel lines in the intake had rubbed through and were dumping fuel into the intake, drowning the cylinders in fuel, and putting raw fuel into the sump and cat converter. The fuel system has been fixed but the complete path of damage may not be. If the cat was damaged and melted the internals, it could be partially obstructed and also playing into the EGR issue.   I'm retracing my steps; trying to go back to thinking thinking Horses not Zebras based on the clues I've been given. These engines aren't *that* complex.   Could it be, now that the truck is running well, that carbon and crud from being run with the fuel system in disarray is now dislodging and clogged my clean EGR passages where I can't see?  That's what the code is actually saying. The flow is restricted, dummy. Retrace step 1.   I may just need to remove the lower intake again. Before I do that I'm going to try removing the EGR and running the engine for a few seconds to see if it will blow anything lodged in the egr passages out through the open ports.     That's been helpful in the past. For the spider injector, there's no guarantee I'll get a working one. The spider I have seems fine now that the high pressure fuel line isn't making an early delivery via large hole. SO at least I'm not marooned and looking for one of those.   Row52 (dot com) is also a good one for watching for vehicles at local yards.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....
