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.

Finally had time to give mind a good was yesterday after all of the road salt abuse. All I had to do was wash and dry and it looked amazing. That optiseal really works wonders for the winter beating these things take.

Today....I dropped her off at the collision center to have my front bumper replaced. Good times, should have it back tomorrow tho.

The sound is really good. Nice rumble on acceleration but very quiet on the highway. I'll try to post a video tomorrow if I can. The wheels are Hostile sprockets, my first time with black wheels. I get a lot of comments on them. Thanks. I have more pictures posted in the wheels and tires section.

Truck looks great! I'm looking for this exact stance or something similar..... Would you mind sharing your wheel tire and leveling kit specs? Any rubbing at full lock or suspension travel? How much if any trimming involved? Everything I'm reading is to go with a 0 offset on these trucks with just a level kit.

Thanks. The wheels are 20x10 with -19 offset. Tires are 33x12.50 Toyo open country R/T. I did not have to do any trimming but did do the zip ties on the wheel well liner. I've heard it rub in reverse twice, and that was on coming out of my driveway which is a little steep. Other than that, no rubbing. The level is a rough country 2.5" in the front and the 2" block replacing the stock 1" in the back.

That came out great. I don't think most people understand how hard it is to wrap carbon fiber patterns.

Thank you. It was a HUGE pain in the ass, but i am thrilled with how it came out. Now I just need to figure out how to remove the trim from around the airbag because now that sticks out like a sore thumb

You have disconnect the battery and then remove the airbag and then the trim.

I'm okay with doing a lot of things but messing with the airbag is not one of them.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
