What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not really. Hot is hot is hot, ha. I've just been all over the US and know how other areas can be. Northern AZ in the summer is definitely better than being in Phoenix.

 

Hot, humid and hazy. Where the sweat can’t evaporate. That is the worst. Stagnant air. Ugh.

 

lol, I spent a bunch of time in Flagstaff last summer, because it was so hot.

 

20 degrees cooler at 7000 ft than in the valley. Definitely better than baking.

 

Woo Hoo. Ecu was/is bad. Truck covered under warranty!! Had nothing to do with me stabbing the firewall grommet with a steak knife!! Lmao.

 

Congratulations, did they check front camera operation?

 

Yeah. It still doesn’t work.
lol.

 

Yikes. Sounds like you could’ve used a $20 portable ice chest A/C!

 

Landlord arranged a replacement for the next day. 24 hours was more than enough for me even with a portable plug-in AC unit.

 

Unless I'm missing something I thought MT-LV was a GL-4 meant for the manual transmission and the Xfer case took a GL-5 gear oil.

 

If we’re looking to cut time drop the bars and buy a mitt, you can drop it (dont be careless) and spray it off.

 

I believe Redline states it is safe for 3rd gen transfer cases now and they further state…

• Safe for brass synchros, as it lacks the reactive sulfurs found in most GL-5 oils that cause damage

 

There’s a clay mitt?

 

Dude, it’s life changing. You can also get handled pads like this (use it near mirrors and other spots that space is tight).

 

Yup, this helps cut down the clay bar time specially on a truck.

 

I’m sorry. But waxing a car ( your own car) is life changing because of a few wiping tools?! No no life changing is modding the truck, blowing up an ECU, and have it covered by warranty!! THAT is life changing.

 

Sounds like middle TN in July and August...lol

What engine and mileage??

 

Axles get GL-5, transfer case and manual transmission get GL-4 because of the brass syncro gears.

 

I didn't see...did you confirm your installation with the mfg/seller? Ask for ideas what might be wrong?

 

I have the evoA, I had messed up the paint in a spot on the rear pillar/corner and have since decided to do similar to match the oem alum boards texture. Did you dissemble prior? I’m thinking I should to remove the gaskets and replace. If not did you tape the seams for future disassembly if necessary? Roll or spray? Tips or things you’d do differently now knowing?

black definitely was better than a color match especially w/ mgm
