How was Panic at the Disco? Always wanted to see them in concert

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kids loved it.  My son was a last minute selection, as my daughter's best friend had a funeral to go to.  He went saying that he was going to hate it, but came away from it LOVING IT!!!  They went to the concert, while I hung out at a BBQ place, "next door," catching up with some friends that I haven't seen in about 15 years.  Wasn't about to let my teen daughter drive down there, she really hasn't driven outside of this valley, yet.

Got my retrofit kit in today from Phil at FastHeadlights. Super excited about getting them together and put in my truck. I just need some warm weather so I can paint the trim.

Froze my a$$ off but finally got the LTZ/High Country tail lights in from Alexg using pgamboa’s harness.  They really are a huge improvement  over the standard LT tails. Next up, replacing DL3 mirrors with DQS mirrors and new speakers in front door. Hopefully Thursday.

Installed my engine cover...changing the Cadillac emblem tomorrow to a USAF emblem...I retired from the Air Force in 2002 and still work for them as a civilian.

Thanks for your service, I won't pick too hard about the chair force, I'm Army myself, was active for years, now reserve, working on my med board after getting hit in '13 while in combat in AFG.

Haha...thank you as well...if it matters, I was a Crew Chief (aircraft maintenance) so about the only chair I got to sit in was an ejection seat :D but now just work experimental munitions. Just finished a test with the Army on small arms sensors for their helicopters :thumbs:

Let's see a before & after...
Since I noticed some moisture in my housing, I've been considering this upgrade.

I'll be doing this very shortly as well.. I'll post up a picture of one on each side if that's possible with the wiring. If not, I will at least have a before and after picture for you.

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
