Wow that actually does sound like a lot. On the tundra I didn’t measure unloaded before and after, but it didn’t appear to. They’re not really made for that anyways. All they do is augment the strength of the leaf springs, and the way they install I don’t really know how they’d be able to “lift” the truck as it sits, even a little. That said, if the leaf springs they are installed on are fatigued, (like most parts on an F150 hahah) they COULD conceivably lift it back to where it originally was, But I’ll still check.

 

But they WILL help with the pogoing. I felt towing, hauling (and unloaded) after having these on that the axle wrap and wheel hop was gone. So towing was very controlled.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

Just a matter of finding a cdn supplier. Only one listed on their website, waiting on reply from them. 

 

Have you found them cheaper anywhere? I'll be passing down through the states next weekend.

I think Capworld is a dealer. We have those in the northeast, And I saw Auto Outfitters up in Newport, VT. Not sure where you’ll be tho. I got mine on amazon. But i had a bit of a discount with a gift card. eBay had some a little cheaper, But they were gone quick.

This is what I did to mine today, or rather a deer. Jumped out of a corn field, into my fender, slid across the hood, up the windshield and launched over the rest of the truck after leaving more crumpling and dents in the front of the roof. Interior is covered in glass and the passenger A-pillar is also slightly damaged.20190712_153513.thumb.jpg.8b39a2f0a0fa7cff764f7ec46948f62b.jpg

I was the only one in the truck. Going out the rock road when I heard a loud bang and my windshield shattered in on me. Ended up taking my brother's 2018 LT Z71 to work. Insurance adjuster hasn't called yet and my truck is sitting in a shed to keep it out of the eventual rain from the tropical storm next week.

Shined it up with the Jay Leno car care products I received for Father's Day. I've used lots of different products over the years with varying results and have to say so far I'm pretty impressed with his stuff.

So had my daughter’s cheer team wash my truck and then I decided to take the plasti-dip smoke off my taillights and tinted them. a566fbc01dbcccc1f135228fe1f6fe0e.jpg

How well does do tail lights shine through that tint? Tinting 3rd brake light as well?

Ok. RAS installed, and again, I love them. Keeps that smooth ride that the 5100’s give without making the ride harsh. For body roll it’s just as good as the sway bar was, but bumps don’t echo through the truck due to the way this attaches.

 

Here’s the link to my vid. I’m not a pro youtuber hahah so it’s not glamorous. And I misspoke a time or two so I corrected it with text during the vid. But there’s a bunch of good install vids for these out there if mine doesn’t get it across, it’s a super easy install. If I wasn’t filming it would have only taken like maybe 45 mins or so.

 

 Edit: so YouTube blocked my vid cuz of a song at the end of it. [emoji849]. I’ll repost tomorrow.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
