What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Update on my "final move of transfer fluid". Safeway pharmacy does not carry eye-droppers but *gave me, free* one of those small plastic oral medication syringes that should waste no more fluid and work in tight spaces. I usually do not like their prices but purchased some OTC drugs just because.

EDIT: Most of the remaining fluid did make it in, I watched it. Some dripped on the ground and I am counting on luck that 99.5% of a liter will be enough given the fluid that was not vacuumed out and stayed after the empty stage.

 

Which dealer is that?!?!? I checked the dealership I have purchased from in the past that just sent me a marketing email about their Labor day sale and got a price of $374.

 

Nothing major today as I'm at work haha! Managed to squeak in the AVS window deflectors though. Best solution to remove the AVS logo? Rubbing alcohol? Thanks in advance!

 

rubbing alcohol should work fine
I used methyl hydrate which is basically gas line anti freeze or wood alcohol
Just use a small amount on a non scratch rag

 

Welcome to TW!!!
I just left the AVS logo on mine... lol

 

Thanks! Much appreciated!

 

Thanks for the welcome! Unfortunately my OCD doesn't like random unmatching logos haha

 

Which is the proper unit to purchase?

Nothing exciting just washed it

 

I bought this Fumoto kit at ebay. Comes with a few more things to make the drain process even more efficient and less messy.

Great value in that it comes with a thicker plastic tube, two caps, the lock, and two fittings pictured here as plastic but I received brass fittings. The plastic tube allows the oil to flow directly into the drain hole of the Chapin oil container I have. No need to clean up the the oil pan surface of the oil container!

Any one will work. The skid plate protects the nipple, short or long, so you could choose a new model just for faster flow. But I would just go whichever is quickest to ship.

 

hah... I just ordered a reflective HUD. I'm curious if it'll be useful or just trash. (Amazon ASIN B0FJM49VN9 for anyone curious)

 

I ended up selling the A.R.E. cap and picked up a Alucab Contour today.

 

Added a theft deterrent. Install a kill switch. Super easy to install. Plug and play system made in USA.

Did it shrink?

 

How does a "thief" get around the immobilizer in the key?

 

The kill switch kill power to the starter relay so even if they have the key the starter won’t start.

 

I did read one complaint many posts back that installing the kill switch caused error codes in the truck and when removed the codes were resolved. I haven’t heard of any other issues posted. Since vehicles now are computers on wheels, I guess messing with or adding things can cause problems.
