What’s everyone running for floor mats? Weather Tech? Husky? GMC? Other? I want to get a set for the front and rear as a nice Christmas present to myself.

Husky, fit great, good price and have a great lifespan as far as wear goes.

So I bought a buffer last week and some scratched up taillights, what y’all think? (First time doing this myself) For sell btw ? if anybody is interested, next is the cluster lens since a lot of those are usually scratched up and kinda hard to find a replacement lens.

After wet sanding the imperfections and light scratches

And it helps to have a set to practice on that is not yours, that way you do not have a "ghetto" looking set on your truck if they come out bad.....

I had a couple get caught in the jet buffer before. Lol. Luckily they were cheap lights. It takes a steady hand.

Yeah way easier if u have somebody holding them ? or if they’re installed on the vehicle other wise u have to worry about it shooting from under the buffer

I just got my rear camera harness today from @pgamboa.  This will let me check out the rear camera while in drive.  I just realized the GPS shows up on my speedo too after installing the I06 HMI and radio module from @GTPprix.  It just keeps getting better and better.  Lol!

 

For those of you who have bought harnesses from Phil, have you wrote a review over on http://harnessdr.com?  I got the DIY DL3 kit a while ago before the website was up and going.  I can't imagine the number of guys here that have been helped by Phil.  ?

    • 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
