First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Blue is a great color! I highly recommend it.

 

Speaking of blue, my saga of getting the scratches out of my blue truck continues. I'm now halfway done. Did the left front door today. Driver's side is almost, then it's on to the passenger side.

 

For those who have questions, the scratches are a result of offroading and having bushes pinstripe both sides of my truck.

Wife got me a Rampage LED tailgate strip for an anniversary present. Pretty happy with it overall, would like to wire it in at some point instead of having it plugged in.

When your wife buys you truck parts for your anniversary, you KNOW you found the right girl!  Congrats!

My B post trim between the doors was scratched from a bad car wash. When the sun hit the glossy black it drove me crazy. I had them polished and covered in Xpel PPF. look brand new now and should be much more scratch resistant.

Had a few hours to kill so I added some  LED bolt lights behind the grill for some pretty nice marker lights.

lights off

Lights on

lesson learned: Purple w/grey strip wire is parking /marker light power in the headlight plug

I'll never understand why people block out their license plate when I can clearly see it while driving down the road, unless you did something illegal to your vehicle and are trying to hide from the police. It's not a social security card. Therefore, today I'm going to post a picture of my truck without the license plate. That's what I did with my truck today. 54f4485fa7458dedf962907c8ba356fa.jpg

You’ll love it. I have the GM Performance exhaust, which is the same system. Really adds some good feels when driving. Like you said, the exhaust matches the aggressive styling. 😎

My buddy installed it today, and you were correct -  the Borla touring is exactly what I was looking for.  No apparent drone on the highway, no strange sound effects cruising through town going 35 either.  When it's time to get on it,  it doesn't disappoint, delivering a rich full reminder that it's got a pair under the hood.  I think the CAI adds some cabin sound too, and cat-backs amplify that just a tiny bit more.

Glad you like it! It will get even better after a month or so. Mine has settled into a really good sound note. I love mashing the pedal. Put it in Sport mode and it sounds the best. 

And yes, the CAI adds some nice growls as well. Especially under a bit of a load. 💪🏼

You know, good point, I never really have it much thought, just saw that most others did so and figured ‘why not?’

And a phone number, and a whole bunch of info. Regardless, it's not a driver's license, social security number, etc. It's publicly accessible. The differentiation needs to be made.

      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.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
