What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Well the above post about my boat was me but somehow it logged in under an old account.

 

Terminated my wiring harness at the roof with a 6pin Deutsch; I’ve never terminated wiring into a connector before. Diode Dynamics uses Deutsch connectors and they seem solid. Happy with the result! And the KC wire hider is very nice and sleek. Still waiting on the shipping of my @CaliRaisedLed premium roof rack and then I’ll have to make the other end of the harness which will be a lot more wiring.

 

What make sliders?

 

Diy'd. 5 slider legs, gusseted, etc. 1/8" dom can only take so much abuse from a 6k lb truck dropping 2-3ft onto them

 

Coming soon.....

 

Looks like it came today

 

Learned something interesting today, needed to replace my TSS sensor panel on my Trd pro grille as mine took a good rock to it and cracked it, so instead of purchasing a new one, say from Taco Vinyl, I looked at theirs for $ 69.99 and matched the part # that's injection molded into the back of the part to one on Amazon and purchased it for $24.99. Wow what an upcharge for a vendor. Thanks Amazon


Now all i have to do is figure a way to waterproof the sensor better to stop it from getting wet and not working. Foam just doesn't cut it.
Suggestions or ideas?

 

ooooh
I’ll be getting one of those soon! I have a bkue ridge one and everything falls out all the time

 

Glad I'm not the only one with that issues.

 

also the net one looks like i could put my kids up there when they need a time out

 

i wanted one of those too but they didn’t have a camera bracket for that specific grill.

 

Sprayed my Formula 3000 on over the weekend, not too bad. Looking forward to doing this every year. Honestly, I enjoyed it









Make sure to check your fittings before you start, gutentight is spec:

 

This is a nice looking Grille., Where did you get that from ?
What did you do to waterproof the front TSS pre-collision sensor ?

 

Works for me until I turn up my stereo. My sub vibrates them down.

 

Depending on locale, a Shell station may not be using Shell produced fuel, but it will be using the Shell licensed additives (secret sauce).

Next time you see a tanker dropping fuel at your favorite station, take a look at who operates it. Most fuel distribution hubs are taking base fuel from the lowest priced source, even mixing them, and then simply blend the licensed additives as it's loaded into the tanker. So, more than likely the Krogers, Sam's, etc. are just base fuel without additives while the Shell, BP, and Marathons are adding their fuel system cleaning additives. The licensed additives are strictly controlled and samples taken at the terminal before the tanker leaves to ensure they are within tolerances.

This is the typical case for Indiana whereas I would expect gas stations closer to fuel refineries to potentially stick with the branded stock.

I had the opportunity to tour a terminal near Oklahoma City and it was an eye opener for sure. It was neat to learn how they manage use of the same pipeline to move gasoline and then a heavy oil and diesel next. They have mechanisms in place to detect the change and switch to different tanks and capture the mixed product in-between to be sent back and refined again back into pure stock.

 

That's really interesting! I was under the impression "Top Tier" was actually better fuel and not just additives (secret sauce). I've also never really thought about how a pipeline could carry different types of fuel. Appreciate the info!

 

Good to know

 

This sounds like a job for Flex Seal.

 

Working on one as we speak

 

We've heard that a lot. Never once had something fall out of my personal truck (unless the wind blew it out like a hat or something)

Factory approved use.
