What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

By the way, got the hood struts installed with the help of my son! They are awesome. And the hood is not at all hard to latch closed.

 

Ah I see now the regear got it

 

Lol. I do stay in touch with the world of-course, I'm not a hermit. I always have a tab or two open for some of my favorite sites TW, reddit, art of manliness etc when I am not working or at the gym. I spend majority of my life behind a computer screen as I works as a firmware engineer, studied EE, so yeah. I use a VPN + Tor browser for my privacy. Life is too short to waste all of it online and your phone.

 

Because of the regear, I have a slight whining from rear diff. while accelerating. The shop that install them said nothing to worry about he got a great pattern . Sometimes ends up with a little bit of a whine or hum. Might go away with some miles on it, we will be changing the fluid in a few hundred miles.

 

Stock 3rd gen trucks matter! I drive one myself.

 

I can a little later not . Not home at the moment

 

Another plus with the regear that I don't here much about, I really noticed today that it slows down and comes to a stop much nicer, and I am sure is easier on the brake system.

 

Nice. Where do I find those?

 

A little warning for you . Make sure you tell anyone thats going to open the hood that you have those struts otherwise they will automatically force it open!!! Like my service tech tried to!

 

Bilstein 5100s in the front to level her out today.

Looks real good ooria

 

I will, once the latch pops it goes up pretty quick on its own. Then again most people aren't very bright these days!

 

No worries whenever you get some time

 

Rpms are about 2000 @65 - 70. Before they were @1500- 1600, when I could get it to do 6th gear, and it would end up back in 5th gear. I tell you, I can't wait to drive it again tomorrow because I think the more I drive it with the 4.88's the more I am going to appreciate them. And I would be afraid that 4.56 might not be quiteenough to do it. I think on my 2011 with the same lift they would, but not on the 16!

 

I started adding ditch lights but then alcohol & football got involved and I didn't finish. I got the under hood stuff done but the dash of my truck is still torn apart. Here's a pic of when I was testing my connections. I'll finish tomorrow before football and alcohol decide to intrude again.

GO VOLS!

 

I hit 4000 miles right now. Bought June 23, 2016.

 

I am just over 5000 miles and picked up on January 4, been in a shop more than my garage! That's one way to keep milage down! Lol

 

That's a lot of miles.

 

Did some painting and wrapping today!
