Had the truck tuned by @BlackBearPerf a couple of weeks ago, had the 15% removed from the front windows and retained with 5%, and today i Installed some Morimoto XB Led fogs that FastHeadlights chromed the bezels for me, and cleaned up the truck.

I finally got around to installing my stage 2 aFe intake. Makes the engine bay look much cleaner (although it needs a cleaning) and it could be just my ass and pocketbook but I feel like the throttle response is better now. Need to sync data and get BBP to adjust the tune for me now that I've got an intake and exhaust.

There are a many of us who enjoy a nice looking truck like yours but we also appreciate seeing your face.  As the weather improves I enjoy more trips on my motorcycle.  Not being able to see the face behind the wheel puts motorcyclists in a most vulnerable position.  If you've ever driven a motorcycle, you will have experienced the feeling of being "not seen" or invisible.  The best chance we have for our safety is to see your face.  We don't care how your hair looks,  but we want to know that you see us and not looking elsewhere.

Only a motorcycle rider understands this.

The window tint craze has gotten out of hand IMO.

Do any states actually allow windshield tint other than the top stripe?

I’ve had motorcycles in the past, I’m always aware of my surroundings. You can’t even tell that the front is tinted when you are sitting inside the truck. Windshield tint is illegal BUT you can get your eye doctor to give you a note allowing it if you are sensitive to lights at night. Pretty much just cuts the glare of the inside. Outside looking in looks darker cause your looking into my black seats, and dark rear window

I used a ceramic coating I got off of Amazon. Makes them easier to clean.

    • Thanks JR that would be great if you could do that !!! Do you have a link to where this was discussed before ? I cant seem to find it  Thank You Again !
    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • 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
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
