What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I know how you feel. I've got lots of practice with my wife as well. Sometimes I don't fair very well though...lol. I had a white truck years ago and loved it so I decided to go that direction again. Very happy I did.

 

i think @Norsemanvike just got some...

 

Got dirty, and then washed using an undercarriage sprayer, foam cannon, clay bar, fallout/iron remover, paint correction/scratch-x, hybrid ceramic spray.









Wait for it..

 

Every time I think I love this truck...

 

can I ask what the issue is? leak? falling apart???

 

It's the dreaded leak... you know the one that shows up once the warranty expires.

I've had the truck for 2 years without a leak so I was afraid to touch it. Yesterday we had a heavy thunderstorm and I got a bunch of water soaking the headliner behind the light. Guess I should have made a pre-emptive strike based on the TSBs and TW reports like I did for the battery, but I don't think I got enough water to do any damage. Good think I have the black headliner.

At least now I have an excuse to sound dampen the roof. Wife is already shaking her head

 

oooook then.. something else to look into. oh, and the battery thing.. time to surf TW and figure that out, too..

ty!

 

looks like a great time to upgrade to a ME-SO Ultimate Brake Light.

 

The link in my last post is a good resource for the TSBs. As far as the battery, some folks mentioned the stock weren't holding up great and mine was the original with a 2015 build date. All in all; not too bad a run - just didn't want to get stuck somewhere and since I got the vF-Tuner, I had an excuse to get an AGM battery.

 

thx...will dig into that when I get home tonight.

 

After all that work I hope you refueled with and In-and-Out burger!

Seriously though what is the fallout/iron remover do?

 

Installed the KTJO4X4 door bowl lighting kit. Only took about 20min. Plug and play. I went with white to match my interior lights. They also have red and blue.

Looks good. I've been eyeing the red set for a while

 

I sure did refuel on in-n-out!

Fallout/iron remover will soak into the clear coat and pull out contaminates (ferrous metals). The good stuff turns purple when it finds contaminates. I used Adam's iron remover, but wasn't that impressed. The Wowo's stuff works great, but it's currently not available. I may try iron-x next time...

 

Mine does not, Garmin Dash Cam Mini.

 

you're right. Funny thing is I still see them posted for sale on OfferUp and Craigslist all the time. I saw one on there for $175 dollars the other day. I was thinking they’re out of their damn mind.

 

I have two of these, one is brand new, never used, removed at the collision center (insurance replacement after deer incident)

 

Added some auxiliary tanks for the road whore.
