Where’d you order the 6 high mod from?

Boost auto parts, but if you want to just use the auto fog mod it’ll do the same thing.

I finally tinted my truck. My buddy who owns a window tint and remote car starter business was out with shoulder surgery. Longest 2 months of my life without tint. I tinted the entire truck with 30% window tint. Went over the back for the kids to make it a bit darker than factory, and also put on a 5% strip on over front windshield. Nice and cool in the truck now! 

 

Iowa has terrible tint laws, so we can't go real dark on front windows. I used to go 5% all the way around when I didn't live here.

A little M105 and some rubbing scratch no more

Mine is worse. Toddler grabbed my keys and dropped the tailgate while the garage door was down. I came outside, slapped the door opener and started to load her into the carseat when I realized I kept feeling a slight bump and hearing some rubbing noise at same time. 
 

By the time I climbed out of the back seat the door was past and I have a nice gouge in the paint there. 
Thankfully the aluminum doesn’t rust.

Installed the KN Intake on today. Just waiting for the Stillen radiator cover to ship!

Started tinting my chrome this morning. Figured a white truck would look good with white in the cab. So, I ordered some satin white vinyl. I think it’s turning out really well. And most importantly, I’m not getting blinded by the chrome. Still gotta finish the rest.

About about to do the same in carbon fiber black.

I’m assuming the chrome around the AC vents does not come off of that piece?

Not sure. It looks like it could, but I wasn’t gonna try it. If ya got an exacto-knife, you’ll be alright.

Anyone figure out how to take off the side vents chrome bezel

Not sure. I’m gonna poke around on youtube. They look like they’d come off. But, if I gotta wrap em in the truck, that won’t be too awful bad.

Washed it in the rain that would let up and start let up and start. Pulled in the dry off

Tell me about your garage floor. Did you DIY? Got a link to the specific product? It looks great.

    • 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.
