Saturday, I put the 2x12 back in the bed of my truck, and made a HazWaste run.

I’m sure my neighbors love me….

 It was a lot louder in person… 

 

Is that the truck making that chopping sound?

Yeah…. In person it sounds more like .22 rounds but a bit louder. The cold start map (44 degrees and below) is a bit off… that and possibly worn spark plugs…. It’s been like 15k.

How difficult was that?

Peel and stick. 

 

Pulled the rear view mirror trim piece, a pillar trim and fuse panel trim and ran the usb power wire to the usb port in the glove box for switched power. Installed the app and connected up. 

 

Made a quick vid if you want to check it out.

My speakers aren't very good, I couldn't tell if that was your cats or sous chef.

you can get a 12v dc to 5v usb adapter online and then all you have to do is run it straight up to the airbag light which is switched 12v power. no need to do all that extra work. normally you could also just tap into the mirror harness but on these trucks there is only 10v to the mirror so you just have to go up a smidge further.

After growing to increasingly dislike it, I reversed the airbox mod (opening up the side of the air filter box) after work a few days ago.  Between 1-2k RPM under medium load, the truck elicited a groan; not a drone or intake sound, but a vibrating groan of disappointment and loathing.  I never checked the fuel trims out of laziness, but my idle dropped and the truck had a low-idle-RPM miss; nothing major, but just enough to hear on the exhaust note.  Across the cold heart of winter, my fuel economy also took a major dump, so as a follow-up to the air-box-mod experiment, I reversed it.  I found the old intake flange and welded it back to the removal box-plate, and reattached.  The groan went away, as did a little bit of exhaust sound (both wins), but an apparent loss of throttle response too.

 

On the way to work yesterday, my fuel economy rose by 1 full mpg on the 50-mile-average DIC display in only the first 4 miles, on a sub-freezing cold start and open-loop warm-up.  By the end of the day and 30 out of those 50 miles, fuel economy went from 11.7-15.0 mpg.  After another 15 miles this morning, the 50 mile average is up to 15.7 mpg, and still climbing.  The ride home today will be enough to erase the airbox-mod miles from the calculation; I bet I see over 16 by the end of the day.  Returning the airbox to its factory state also raised my idle by ~100rpm, which smoothed out the idle considerably.  The exhaust note is more audibly appealing when cruising.

I installed the Boost Auto Parts folding tow mirrors today.
Temporarily deleted my tow mirror cams because I can't figure out how to run the cam wires.
I think it takes an entire mirror disassembly.
Anyway, here it is ... sorry about the audio, ...
