.. got the engine spun up to around 5200rpm on the way home tonight ..no not on purpose.. truck downshifted too far while going uphill (maybe 4-5° grade) with the cruise set at 82kmh (50mph) (same route I drive to work everyday).. trans stayed in that gear while I had to jump on the brakes and slow the truck right down to 50kmh (30mph) to get the rpms down then it started shifting normally again. I hope this doesn't become a habit with this transmission :shakehead:

Same thing happened to me, but when on hilly terrain going downhill and is the reason why I deactivate grade braking when I know I’ll be driving in hilly terrain.

.. I've noticed this behaviour with the cruise control as well so now I disable the cruise whenever I'm heading downhill then turn it back on when the grade levels out

Replaced wireless charging module with the updated 18 charging module. Works great, charges my galaxy s9 plus and my wife's galaxy s93431f841f6c64e8e6a5244d1eca5d5d8.jpg

Built yet another sub enclosure for my regular cab with an extension to mount the amp as well as crossovers and hopefully its the last one so I can finally get this system done! This one is built from a 13mm/18mm Baltic Birch combo so I could recess the sub and I lost a couple of clicks on the passenger side seat but I still have easy access to the jack (I'll make a bracket to mount the tools on the other side). BTW, if anybody is interested in a sub enclosure for their regular cab I have several available!

How are you liking the Boost Auto mirrors?  Thinking about getting the Boost or 1A Auto mirrors.
I love the boost auto mirrors. I even had 1A prior to these and the part that bothered me the most was not having the red blinker on the glass. That may not bother some but I wasn't a big fan of the blinker design from 1A. There are two things that boost came out with after I got mine that I wish I had and that's the power fold feature and the high output cargo light. The customer service at boost auto was second to none as well. The owner called me after hours one night to help me trouble shoot an issue I had. The issue was on my end, nothing to do with their product but he was still there and willing to help.

    • Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.
    • Saturday 87 was 2.98 at the local meijer when I filled up my car with 93.
    • I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.  
    • That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)
    • Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
