looks good. How do you like them ? You think they will work GM mug flaps ?

I kinda love them! I have muscular dystrophy so it's a big help to get in. As far as flaps, where do they mount I can check clearance for you

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.

That's puzzling. Did you contact fox?

How much did the set up cost you besides tires and wheels? Thinking about doing a 6" BDS but not sure if the extra ~$1400 is worth it for the Fox coilovers. Truck is mostly a street truck anyways

Got the 2.0s installed on all 4 corners finally. I would definitely suggest these as everyone says. Tighter turns, planted, takes bumps with ease, performs great off road when needed. Best under $1k suspension mod I've ever gotten.

My boy from high school owns the company so I don't pay full price. I'll ballpark ~$200-250 for all them. His IG name is Maine Coast Customs and same for website. His name is Jeff...Tell him Gary sent you.

Those trim look really nice! Is that ballpark price for all the trim including the dash trim you did? And just to be sure, that's the ballpark we would pay since we don't know him.. :D I've seen some of his work in IG.. Nice stuff..

That's a good looking truck! I love the stance, which level did you use?

Thanks! All I know is that it was an eBay type leveling lift. Not exactly sure the brand. It was pretty much a spur of the moment thing one day. A buddy of mine got tired of seeing my truck looking so stock and had a friend drop off the kit, so I said what the hell? Let's do it! Lol

Get yourself the roost shields from fox for those rear shocks. For 30 bucks you'll help keep your piston free of rock chips and prolong the life of the shock.

We were debating waiting on installing the rears because we didn't have roost shields yet for them!

 

Definitely confirms I will get them now and install. The diff spacer will be coming in the future too.

 

Speaking of rear shocks...guess we lost a top bolt of one rear shock. If anyone is interested, you're looking for a M14x2x85 bolt to replace. We used a M14x2x80 at Home Depot. Just replaced it and loc tited. Should be smooth sailing on the way back to ATX.

Get a large monkey wrench they can be a pain to squeeze together while your driving the screw through. My shop installed them piston up/body down FYI. I've looked but haven't found a general consensus on which is correct.

      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.
