Come on....gotta admit that was a douche thing to say. Why bother even responding to the post right? I joined to get away from these kind of knuckleheads all over facebook.

He wasn't wrong, you go on any forum and try to play something off as higher end or different model and you will get called out for it. Cobra emblems on a base mustang, SS decals on a V6 camaro or FX4 stickers on a 2wd it will be called out. On forums you just have to have tough skin and if not tread lightly...

Exactly.  The truth of the matter is that folks post pics on the world wide web for....wait for it.......

 

COMMENTS!  

 

They relish and gloat in the good ones but when someone calls them out and gives them a negative comment, they get all butt-hurt.  Since they can't defend their choices, they just cry and name-call.

Hey Fellas,

 

New guy here. recently picked up my 2020 Elevation and before the first 200 miles I slapped on a 6" BDS lift and upgraded to Vertex Coilovers.

Truck looks good...What size wheels and tires are you running?

Here's "my" 2020 LT 1500 TX Edition RWD loaner in Cajun Red Tricoat... ? 

 

I will say that my iPhone syncs a lot faster in this 2020 vs. my 2019 RST. It also syncs the contacts. My RST hasn't done that for months. ?The ride is a little smoother, too, since it doesn't have the Z71 suspension. And the A8 is very smooth on this truck for only 1000 miles. ??

Used the S-10 to tow your T1 back home, eh?

Got a good pic on the farm last night.  Wish the wash from the lights wasn't so bad.

    • 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.
