Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

OK so even though the website says they don't fit, they fit?

 

they make ones specific for the manual

 

Ahh, I was looking at the HP model. Only second row available.

 

I went with the Huskys front & back. MT version. They fit and work great. I got them for the snow at the time. I also have my PRO Weather liner - which is very cool, but have never removed them.

 

Or have one extra tooth on the 6th driving gear for the cruising on highway, 5th for towing. Or have 3.9 or 4.10gears. 4.3 gear is slow.

 

3.9 or 4.10 would make towing even worse

 

The OEM winter mats are pretty decent in the front and I haven't found the need to replace them. I did buy a new one for the rear though (I think it was the Husky, but one of the aftermarket ones anyway), because the OEM mat for the rear only has the very basic coverage and I got sick of shampooing out the salt every spring that my kids would drag in and get everywhere over the winter. The new rear aftermarket mat has the lips, overlap, and raised edges such that it isn't a problem nearly as much.

 

Yup, this is what I did.

 

think you meant 4.56. bigger the ratio the lower the gear.

 

Welp, 4.3 is slow in the sense of top speed.

 

These trucks will do 117 with 4.30 just fine

 

mine will do 80mph in 2nd gear. idk what impossibly high theoretical speed it could do at 7000rpm in 6th with 35s

 

Only one way to find out.....

 

It was like this but blue, still junk though.

 

Oh yes. Dad had one (before he had me lol). The stories of a gigging musician with a shitty car ....

 

I don't know if this is from the cold weather and me not letting my truck warm up enough, but when am at a stop light with my foot on the brake and have it in neutral. I noticed my rpms spike. If I pull my foot from the brake they go back down. I know my foot isn't hitting the gas. I also have to admit that I had a peddle commander hooked when I first noticed this. I unhooked it over a month ago and still get this 3 to 5 hundred spike in rpms when I apply pressure to the brake.
Any suggestions?

 

That is normal, it is to assist with warm up and I believe warming the cats. It's tied to the brake because it assumes when you let off the brake, you're about ready to start driving again. As you warm up the spike when holding the brake will stop and the cold idle when off the brake will also stop.

The only way your truck would not behave this way would be if you loaded an edited tune file that specifically got rid of this behavior.

 

That makes sense, thank you!
I was worried that the peddle commander caused it.

 

Hmmm, I have no such a spike in my RPMs, once they come down following a cold start, the idle RPM doesn't change regardless of whether I'm in-gear, out of gear, clutch depressed or not depressed (assuming neutral), and brake pedal depressed or not depressed.

 

If you’re looking at it when warm, there won’t be anything noticeable. When cold, it definitely will idle up around 13-1400 rpm and then slowly come down as temps go up. And then it dips a bit when you let go of the brake. That is in the factory tune file.
