What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Has anyone ever noticed this GR on the fan shroud? Does it stand for Gazoo racing?

 

I purchased two additional OEM cleats earlier so I now have three per rail and I want a cover that will continue to give me access to the entire bed when needed. I think I will look into the front bed rail, can't hurt. Appreciate your feedback.

 

I haven't either but if someone is gonna buy one anyway why not buy the one that you don't have to consider having leather gloves for? One less thing to grab when you're making a repair.

 

I agree.
I believe in the buy once, cry once mantra

This is the one I bought:

$45 Safety Seal Auto/Light Truck Deluxe Tire Repair Kit 30 Repairs

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DIECCK?ie=UTF8

Used it twice in the 3 years I've had it. Fortunately it was on someone else's vehicle.

 

Just finished the AC drain mod

 

I agree! Victor. Made in USA. I don't grab gloves when using these, been working fine for 20+years. No fear.

 

Ok I found one potential downside. It’s a little louder in the cabin. Could be a down side or upside

 

Installed the new c4 inner fender liners, kind of a pain. I wished they had used metric oh well, there in, got to run to the store and get some seamseal and roll on bed liner for the oe look.

 

I have a kit for my mountain bike w tubeless tires but it never occurred to me to get one for the truck. My tire shop will fix a flat for free but the question is when. They usually want you to drop it off and pick up a few days later. So the kit will be a big time saver.

 

Got up early and installed the snorkel.. next on the list, Wilco tire gate. Even though they’re tripping on their prices.

 

About to sell my syklone prefilter

 

OOOO, Too bad they dont make one to replace the trash liners in the rear. Mine have warped and dont fit right, they started warping at 20k and are just getting worse.

 

May I ask why? I’m pretty torn on the looks of them tbh, but depending on price I may be interested.

 

Driving it a week, it feels like it holds 4th and 5th gear a little longer. The transmission feels a little smoother as well.

 

I can think of a few downsides (besides a change in muffler exhaust loudness detected in the cabin because where the sonic energy is directed):
a). The exit gasses are too close to the tire, I'd expect it to damage the spare tire.
b). The exit gasses are trapped by the underside of the vehicle and could concentrate causing injury to the occupants. When idling there's a pretty large trapped volume for collection.
c). Possible decrease in horsepower because of a change in backpressure to the engine.

 

Threw on some seat covers. The imperfections will come out after the sun hits them and warms them up. The stitching is pretty close to Blazing Blue Pearl.

 

Just got done plugging my tire and driving around for a bit.

Things I’ve learned:

Took 30 minutes to jack up, remove tire, plug, reinstall, torque, pump tire, clean up

After I got done, I realized there was no reason to remove the tire or jack up the truck. I could have just turned the wheel outside and did the repair.

The actual repair part took about 3 minutes and was very easy to do. Pull out nail, make hole bigger (that’s what she said), plug, pump, done.

Live and learn. Next time should be quick.

 

I'm glad you took this route. Its easier than one expects, and you discovered the same. It's nice to save a $100.00+ tire in your spare time, right?

 

I mounted a different option that I liked.

Got the KDMAX 9.0 tune today. Drives like a different truck. Highly recommended. Thanks Kaleb with Lonestar Yota Tuning!!
