Ordered some amber rigid radiance pods, a 20 inch, and a 50 inch (it's not pictured because I'm debating on drilling into the truck) but I got them wired up to come on with the parking lights. I love it!

Replaced old Michelin Stealth wipers with new ones. Wipers lasted just short of 1 year so figured I would stick with the same.

I replace mine every year before winter regardless. Michigan winters are brutal on them!

Thats the only reason I grabbed it. IMO they are overpriced otherwise for no more than what they are

Used the VHT night shade on my taillights yesterday. Had to spray an extra coat I really didn't want cause there were some stupid gnats stuck to them with little foot prints. I may strip them and do it over, but it doesn't look bad IMO. First pic is no lights, second is just parking lights, third is brake lights in early morning hours.

Seems like it would be illegal to darken the only rear warning light for drivers following behind you. I often run up unexpectedly behind similarly-modified vehicles at night and you just don’t realize how little light is getting through.

Changed my fluid in the transfer case. Got the typical shavings everyone has the first time. I will definitely buy the quart fluid pump for the next change. Trying to maneuver above the drive shaft and dump the atf in a funnel with a hose was a PITA. Fluid actually didn’t look bad. Not as dark as the diffs.

Yesterday, we went to a long-time friend's daughter's wedding, wife was the coordinator for the wedding and I was running sound. On the way home last night, early this morning, rolled over the 40K mark, right as I was passing the North Gate to Edwards AFB.

One of the things I did to help with the diff fluid change is just buy a length of tygon tubing, drop it in the diff and stand beside the truck with the bottle in hand and squeeze the bottle.

Was that the one for $45.00 or best offer a couple of weeks ago? I had that in my watch list and when I finally decided to make an offer I found it had already sold!

Removed the gmc emblem, not sure if I should keep going. Opinions? Also installed mud flaps. 803e31e3e7ce14262eac14875a43a8c8.jpg

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
