What is the part number of the side steps?  I like those.

I don't know, they were installed before the dealership got the truck. I can see if they have a part number on them.

Maybe this could work too.

 

I just had a brainstorm of an idea, based off of this video.  I have a tow hitch brake/tail light for my receiver, and the same concept should work.  I’m converting another one to be brake light only, last one got busted up in the impound yard, after the collision.

I honestly don’t mind it. I thought I would but it doesn’t bother me at all. 

Until your stuck in traffic and go to move and your starter dies.

So who's truck is the picture of your Avatar?

That was mine too. I went through a period of time when I was staying at the office and didn’t need a new truck. I drove my classic vehicles the 9 miles to the office. On 12/31/13 a salesman friend of mine called about a killer deal on that truck. They needed one more sale to make their numbers. I did no research, bought it. It was going to be my last truck, I was retiring in 18 months. I didn’t know about cylinder deactivation it had in it. I didn’t want anything to do with that nonsense. I like the 92 better didn’t need two, the old technology suited me fine. The performance of the 92 didn’t hurt either.

That’s doubtful, but I’ll take my chances.

I'm curious, how does the start stop sound when you have say a flowmaster muffler?  Is it like starting your truck up, it rumbles loud again each time your stop at a traffic light?

Starting the vehicle is the hardest thing it does to itself. It draws more amps, sends more torque, causes more stress, then any other operation the truck does. No thanks. I have seen with my own eyes, in the city stop and go traffic, grind and kaput. Horns and panic.

Again, no thanks.

Within a five years all vehicles are going to have it, if not sooner. The vehicles that have it now use a starter and other components designed for the start stop feature. It’s not the same as turning it off and on in a traditional ignition system.

+1 ... more like 2 years.  Hell, all the major brand trucks have it already.  Get used to it ... or keep your old truck forever.   And yes, it's not like your old 1995 trucks starter .... it's not going to leave you stranded. Folks need to understand as said above.. these components are made for this.  And it's start/stop is a smoooooth transition..

Yea, it’s cool till stuff fails. My sons Malibu battery cost 400$. It has two. Imagine what the starter cost. Buys a lot of gas.

FWIW ...  The video was a good find but does not work on the Chevy ... Tested it out yesterday.

 

I for one believe start/stop is an absolute annoyance.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
