Thanks, Im stuck between a Leveling kit and a 4" lift

 

No problem, I currently have a level on mine and its not enough for me but don't want to be way up in the sky with a 6" so I am planning to get a 4" hopefully this summer with some 35s

 

Do the 4". A level on this truck, at least to me, was high enough for a little while and then after that little while, it just wasn't enough anymore. So thats why I want to switch to a 4".

 

At this point it looks like I may end up with a Zone Off-Road 4.5" lift.

well these trucks do really well with the mileage. Some members are on 7" lifts and still getting 17 MPG highway without regearing.

 

I plan to change to 3.73 or 4.10 gears when I lift and do headers and a tuner. I already have a cold air intake an magnaflow exhaust. With my level + stock tires and rims. I still average the same, and sometimes better than the EPA rating (EPA for me is 21 MPG. I have gotten up to 22 MPG over a 2 hour highway ride)

im not doubting people are getting 17mpg on a 7" lift without regearing, but I personally am not getting anywhere close to that and I drive 90% highway and am quite easy on the pedal with the same set up.. would love to know who and how there getting those numbers!

I know stevendox has a 7" Rough Country with 35s but he is using a tuner which is helping his mileage. I plan to get the same tuner. It's the Diablo Intune i-1000

 

 

EDIT: the member's name is stevencox93! not stevendox. My bad!

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
