What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

He bought them through Costco. I believe it was this link.

Often times, what matters most is knowing how to ask the right question.

 

Thanks, we don't have Costco here, so that's why I was surfing Amazon. I do appreciate the help.

 

Too much to recall to be honest haha!

 

We drive a 200 mile round trip to our cabin almost every weekend. So far my best mpg for that trip was the first one @23.2 mpg. I have noticed everything did seem smoother overall after I hit the 2000 mile mark.

Can't you reset the ECT by disconnecting the battery?

 

Some suggest disconnecting the battery will reset ECU shift learning, but in reality it needs to be done via Techstream and it's probably best to have the dealer do this as it "might" affect warranty. I believe the learning is a constant thing so if your driving habits change drastically such as maybe you move from close to sea level with flat roads to 5000 ft and lots of hills, the ecu will eventually adapt.

 

They will if they are E rated. I lost 2-3 mpg switching to 255/85r16 Cooper STT Maxxs from stock. I've been happy with them though.

 

disconnecting the car battery and waiting some time is apparently one method of doing it or so.
But from what i heard and read, it tries to re-learn a little quicker to make up for what it lost.

how true that is, i'm not sure. but i did have to pull the battery and the car did go through a re-learn period. don't recall how long it took though

 

Changed the oil and parked by a decent first gen

 

Got around to putting RCI rock sliders. A little rough to do as the instructions weren’t much help. Kind of had to figure out some things myself. And there’s a bolt all the forward that is basically impossible to get to. Left those out but the sliders are still solid! I’m loving the look.

 

Added some sliders yesterday! Next few items to obtain:
Air compressor
Upgrade fogs
Lift

 

When you're navigating in Waze, do a swipe down to get to the notifications screen. It may say something like "No notifications while you're driving," then give you a button to say "I'm not driving." Tap that, and swipe back up to get back to Waze. Hope that works for ya -- don't you just hate the "Nanny" features the lawyers insist be incorporated in useful software?

 

.....and keep an eye out for re-caps.

The truck looks nice. Hopefully you do not mind answering a few questions about your sliders. How well do the sliders work for use as a step into the cab? If you wanted to use them to tie down a roof top load like a kayak could you stand on them comfortably without falling off?

 

Good questions. They definitely give a good platform for accessing the top of the truck. Looking forward to washing the top of the truck with them on.
As far as a step for accessing the cab. I think they will take some adjusting. I banged my ankle the first time I got out of it yesterday.
Over all I am very happy with them. They were easy to install. I used a floor jack and did it by myself in under 90 minutes.

 

I gave this dirty girl a bath and wax.....

 

Good to hear. I like the design but they are in OR and I am in Maine so I suspect that shipping will kill the deal. Looks like it was a local purchase for you? Did you buy it in bare steel and powder coat it or paint it yourself?
