What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sorry about the job; I hope you land a good one soon.

Wow on the MPG. I generally get the mileage the truck is rated at. This is my last tank just before filling up (303 miles on the tank; still above 1/4). It is mostly highway miles (with a couple side trips) and some traffic, over 2 passes 2 times (Loveland/tunnel and Vail) round trip from/to Eagle/SE Denver. What made this better than the week before was that I removed the sandbags. I'm mostly stock and have a tonneau cover. I think the sweet spot is to keep the tach in the 1800-2200 range where the Atkinson cycle operates. I've also learned that if I climb hills at ~65 the truck doesn't do the gear hunting/revving.

 

Not to put a chimp in your plans, but you are bananas.

 

Actually, the farm was just far enough away that it was kind of fun to hear it. And the guy would hold tours for kids/adults.

But that farm is now new-build neighborhood housing, as will happen in expanding cities.

 

I'll bet the owner was a really interesting person.

 

I would think. I never met him, though. I hope he got a very large payment for his land and not an "imminent domain" deal.

 

Completes the black accent theme all around the truck!

 

Swapped out the front brakes and rotors for the Powerbrake D-Line Disc & Pad kit. With all the added weight on my truck I've noticed that my stopping distance has increased. Initial feelings about the swap, I do notice the stopping distance has decreased.

No pics as anything you would want to take a pic of is behind the tire.

 

I did some more research on the recall for the '22s and '23s. The official statement had me confused and concerned. However, this repair guide helps me understand the real issue and what they will do so I don't think it's going to be a problem after I get it checked out: RCRIT-24V152-2133.pdf (nhtsa.gov)

 

Any pictures of them on? Curious how bright they are during the day.

 

Is that a step bolted to your passenger side slider?

 

Sorry I didn’t get to take one in direct sunlight but here’s one I took right now!

That’s right! Made by @Shmellmopwho

 

I had these until a hit and run and thought they were super neat, kinda art-deco vibe, they’re plenty bright in the sun

 

its down hill too

 

a hellcat has a very unique sound.....mmm mmmm good

 

nice box

 

I have trail rash on my fender flares also. I use a scratch remover on the paint and don’t worry about the fender flares…IMHO I think it adds character and is a good conversation piece.

 

you painted your d rings?

Imagine if Me-So made a horn for our tacos. The product would be Me-So Horny.
