when i had the bumper painted ( last truck ) , the body shop removed the sensor , painted the bumper with the spray gun , and then spray the sensors with a touch up paint can ( lite coat) . NO problems . Check your elec plugs on rear of sensors , or TOO MUCH PAINT

I ordered 23381964 from ebay. Dealership was around $80, but it was $52 on ebay.

 

Sorry, didn't see this until now. I was busy picking up an XR70 for my son earlier. So add that to the list of what I did today. Hauled it home. :lol:

 

I always wanted some sort of quad or dirtbike as a kid and my dad never bought me anything. Time to change that.

Did a factory reset on the radio, that fixed the problem

Replaced reverse, cargo and license plate lights with LED's. It was bothering me that GM had LED'S everywhere else but decided to put regular bulbs in those spots. 6e7794dc75370552d9b6c736f4e42cb3.jpg

Did the first DIY oil change after going through the dealer's free ones. Added a Fumoto valve in an attempt to keep myself and my driveway cleaner [emoji1360]

Could someone with a crew cab short bed truck crawl under the truck and snap some pictures on how the gas tank filler hose runs from where it mounts on the body to the tank? And also how the vent to the filler neck is clocked? Had to drop the tank to install my new lift springs and now its not filling up correctly, must be the vent hose is either kinked or not in the right spot

Put on the running boards today, ended up coming out really good. Then hit the truck with the foam cannon to get it shining.

Looks good, are those Magnum boards?

 

I'm going to assume your driveway is painted green and you didn't add food coloring to the foam cannon...

Lol yea they're the magnums and unfortunately that green didn't wash off with the foam. Previous homeowners did that horrific paint job to the driveway, it's on my to-do list, after important stuff like getting new running boards [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

Changed my front transfer case and rear axle fluids. Truck is running much smoother now.

How big of a job was that?

Didn't take long at all. My truck is lifted, so I didn't have to jack it up. Front took around 10 minutes. Rear was a little longer. It took around 15 minutes.

 

Here is what I used to guide me for the front.

    • 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.
    • 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.
