I don't know, I guess I'm just old school, but pouring oil into the valve cover directly has never been a problem for me.

Installed ScanSpeak ring radiator tweeters using some adapters I made from 1/4" abs. My Original plan was to install them on axis in pods on the dash or a pillars which my experimenting showed gave the best response  but decided to keep it stealth and just put them in the stock location.

Also took apart the headunit to run the RCA's and remote wire for the amp as well as hook up the bass level controller. I probably should have done it when I originally installed the headunit but it wasn't as bad as it looks.

 Not mine but a guy did this to his truck around the corner from me a little while ago. I came up after it happened but I'm guessing the big dip right behind where he stopped is what caused it as that sucker is much deeper than it appears when you come from the direction he is facing.

Got some CK161's the other day.  I havent seen these wheels until a few weeks ago and have never seen them in person until I bought them.  Guess they arent popular but I got them for dirt cheap with newish tires and tpms already install.  I also installed the retrofit HID headlights a few weeks back, that I bought off a member here a while back.  Going to pull the dip off the grill back so its back to chrome later this week.

I've been looking for a set of those since May 2017. But everyone I find want's an arm and a leg for them. I ended up pick up a cheap set of CK159's which I've decided I don't like and I'm going to sell lol... As much as I want CK161's I'm going to stick with 20's I think.

Pulled off the A-piller trim and front dash trim to hunt down a rattle between the dash and left A-pillar. I added some foam tape along the bottom of the pillar trim where it fits into a slot in the dash trim.

I also pulled the light sensor out of the dash, opened it, and removed some of the white goo to hopefully keep the headlights from coming on at 4:00 in the afternoon on a sunny day.

I didn’t do anything but Mother Nature decided to add some snow. I know it’s not a big deal for most of y’all but snow down here in southern Arizona isn’t something that happens often.

I just got these exact same leds in the mail the other day for this same purpose, how do you like them so far?

    • 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
