Been busy the last few weeks. Went to North Carolina to pick up this 1969 Lincoln Continental. The 3.0 Duramax pulled great. Then did a 15k service with a new fuel filter. Then headed to Michigan which was Sally’s first time in snow. 3” and 17 degrees on our first day there. No def fluid problems or even real traction problems on the street tires. Not that I was doing any true off-roading, but didn’t tear up my dad’s yard either. Rolled 16k miles while getting 25.5 MPGs on the way back. Still loving this truck!

2022 RST 3.0 Duramax. A few mods. First pic is new at the dealership in January. Since then added the Havok side steps, tinted fronts, tinted front markers, boost auto all lights on mod, cargo light reverse mod, spotlight mod. Hard to tell but there is a 3" superlift w/ upper control arms and bilstein 5100 in the rear.....next up thinking about hyperdip the wheels and emblems in the brass monkey color.

Recently got 35inch Toyo Open Country ATIIIs installed on the truck. No rubbing even off-road. 

 

Truck is the 3.0L Duramax RST package with a few upgrades.

Looks beautiful! What bumper and skid plate is that? (if beggars are choosing, a link would be much appreciated!). Did you install yourself? If not, any ballpark on cost?

 

Also, can I confirm if you have a level or lift there? Assume it's  2.5" level up front with a 1.5" block in rear but figured it might be a 3" lift kit instead.

 

No matter what, she's gorgeous. Well done!

She was a tad bit salty the other day... Got her all cleaned up again though.

    • 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.
