I installed Firestone air bags and Air Lift WirelessOne compressor. Then I put my new XD813 Wheels on wrapped with Cooper LTZ 275/60/20.

I used to have some similar to that in my cobalt. But the color hue was too blue for me. I like how those leds match the OEM color pretty closely

Sure! They install exactly the same as the 07-13 models. I mounted the compressor and valve on the inner fender of the driver side. Works flawlessly, Bye bye saggy ass end.

My first mod was to rearrange my garage so I can park the truck inside. It's a tight fit

Attempted to tint my front windows today. It was a miserable failure! I'm normally pretty handy, I'm blaming the cheap tint I bought. I need 50% tint to be legal and the only tint I could find for sale was some cheap no-name ebay crap. Three attempts and my last one still had several winkles, so I pulled it off. Tried to tint myself becasue Im in a pretty rural area and there is no pro tinting within at least 30 mile radius, have to go look further away I guess lol!

 

But the day was not all lost, I added under hood LEDs with a contact switch today, here are some crappy cell phone pics. The engine bay would be a total black hole without the lights, looks better in real life than in the pics, plenty of light to have a "look see", or check fluids.

Cost of this project was under 20 bucks, the two LEDS were $13, the switch was $5 for two, but you only need one. Some wire (10 feet maybe) and couple of crimp connectors I already had on hand.

 

Switch:

Contact switch is mounted in the tab with the hole on the inner lip of the fender above the battery. The switch fit that location like it was made to. So no drilling needed, just sand a small amount of paint off around the hole to make a good ground contact.

That looks badass!!! How much weight can you put on the rack?? Also what is your total height with just the black rack installed!!!

Looks sweet

    • 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.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
