bc-chris & silveradosaver,

 

I didn't think it should, I may have bought a bad can. I bought it the day before I started to use it. My dad taught me to always hold the rattle cans upside-down for a short spray to "keep the line clear," when I was little. After the first partial coat, I cleaned the sprayer, since it was building up. Did a purge, shook the hell out of it (some more), and finished the first coat, was still clumpy, but not as bad.

 

 

Gamboa,

 

I'm wanting to do the puddle-dome light mod. Is that pins 1 & 8? Stripe toward 8?

Thats correct. Pin 1 should be a solid thicker gray wire. Pin 8 should be dome and stripe towards pin 8.

Tinted my fogs yellow, not sure if I like them or not yet, looks unique

Did you just use some yellow tinted Lamin-x ?

 

I think Morimoto XB fogs would look awesome in yours...or even a couple LED cubes with a new bracket.

I agree with this. Check out my build thread in my signature. I have a couple Rigid Industries fog lights. You could easily buy the yellow lenses and snap them on, or take them off if you just want the regular white light.

personally I'm not a big fan of this, but I think you should check out the morimoto XB LED fog lights. Did it for my midnight edition!

Got my SYPPO tow mirrors installed before heading out. The mounted up nice and easy and plug right in for mirror movement functions. Sometime soon I need to wire up mirror cargo lights and running light.

Got home from work this morning, as I was backing into my driveway, I glanced my left mirror, right as one of my sprinkler valves exploded. So, I've been running back/forth to ACE for parts, that I thought I had, but couldn't find, then for primer/cement, because what I had, had been sitting in my garage for about 8 years. On my way home from, what was hopefully my last trip for parts, I watched what was my 2010 Ridgeline, make a turn in front of me.

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
