Started sound deadening on the back wall (I'm probably going to spray expanding foam in the cavity at the top)IMG_1794.thumb.JPG.73aba52ac1e840c9cb35487783a0d409.JPGIMG_1798.thumb.JPG.61233a4b4f6eded4d39b01d842049422.JPG

Put running boards on. Tonno cover will be next. Contemplating a few other mods. I would love a heated steering wheel, but I don’t see that anytime in the near future.

Installed Tyger RoLock Low Profile Roll-Up. Took a chance since I couldn't find any reviews besides Amazon. Couldn't pass up 170 dollars. Looks like it's pretty good quality and sits pretty low to the rails.

Got some new pinstripes down both sides getting to a trailhead this weekend for a backpacking trip. We'll see if they buff out. 9b10729a9814f292ce818fa738c4f181.jpg

Careful the cabs have to breathe...No Joke.

Thanks and I already planned for that as seen below!

 

Started on the 18mm Baltic Birch hardwood plywood platform for the rear wall At the bottom it will be secured to where the center seat belt was and the stud for the tools pouch. I will add some brackets at the top secured with nutserts and I left a 3/4" gap behind with openings in the bottom corners so the vents could breath (I will also be adding 3/4" foam padding in part of the cavity) . The sub enclosure will mount behind the passenger seat and I will mount the jack and tools behind the drivers seat along with a cargo net or some type of storage compartment/tray.

Few days ago I washed, clayed, sealed and waxed my truck! It needed a good detail. 236ce1da349d2160bd637361a5dab657.heicab4b0cf20ce1527d461487187ae7e3ca.heice32f49166b8d338fae54b82112d1a1fa.jpgce3b35c429224bf5af6748f4440291cf.heic5b38e17efbb6b7d6c7650dde09232b98.jpg

New tires installed and they look and feel great. No rubbing yet either but we'll see 3364497d9ebf32f3e17f14f723dc71b9.jpgb43d7eb262c7df8116ef117e0f9eca63.jpg9d0ec8f5cc416aa03135109089e02da1.jpg5771faee92949c082a498621ac7dd337.jpg053d1e80a2009a31e3512fc074d8662b.jpg

    • JW2024 and Others is this site for Oshawa built Trucks as well ? Thank You !
    • 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.
