What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Any time. Good luck and keep us posted of install.

 

Demon brackets

 

Finally finished and installed my homemade C02 tire inflation setup. Pretty stoked with how it turned out. Should give me roughly around 20 fills at around 15 psi each for all 4 of my 285/70/17 tires until I need a refill.

 

The real question is: Why wouldn’t you?!

 

Installed my rack.

 

Threw some 5” black iStep running boards on the truck tonight. Like the lower profile and they should be helpful for my older dog climbing into the truck.

 

Rotated tires, replaced coolant, ordered a new front diff drain plug to replace the one I'm gonna ruin tomorrow.

 

Started fabbing up a rod holder that's attached to the bed rail system. It's a work in progress and not tightened up so don't judge. Still need to trim the excess and paint it as well



Also got my starter button and trim installed today.

 

Finally had a chance to resume my hobby after 3 months and got my resurfaced heads back from the machine shop on Monday. I started by removing the 24 valve oil seals and replacing them with new oil seals. Easy peasy. I didn't even have to tap them down with a hammer since I heard the click after pressing on them with my thumbs. Removing the valves were easy a few months ago so I didn't expect to have such a hard time replacing them. Right?! Those tiny valve keepers refused to stay in place and it took me 3 hours to do just the first 4. Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. I was definitely edging toward insanity and then asked my son to help me and found out that 4 hands are better than 2 hands in this case. Then as I was lifting the head to press in the 5th valve I noticed metal shavings underneath. ARGHH !!! This means that I had to remove the 4 valves I had just spent 3 hours on and take it back to the machine shop to have it cleaned again. Leaving those metal shavings in the head would have destroyed my engine in short order. I will be out of town tomorrow so I will likely be installing the titanium valves whenever my son can help me out again.

 

Who's rack? Thanks.

 

Footwell lights. Single led on driver and passenger side.

 

I'll need to give it another shot. The new bulbs wouldn't twist and fit into the socket. Stock went in and out a couple times. Ill need to compare the tabs too. No melting issues?

 

They use to connect to the ABC 30 pin harness so that the LED behind the camera icon would dim with the dash lights. The harness I got from ABC is only a 24 pin so they did not "Y" off from the harness to provide that ferature. I want that feature so I will have to tap into the ECT button.

 

Looks fun. No worries tho, that after feeling is the best

 

Purchased a 2020 grill for my 2017 from someone local. I’m loving the look of the new grill compared to the cheese grater.

 

Nice Do they have red

 

just some amber leds i had around. Originally thought i wanted a soft amber color, now i plan on matching them to the bluish color of the dials.

 

Thx man appreciate it

 

I did the same, you can take adj. pliers from the back and unscrew it until you get enough threads showing in the front

 

Mine broke because over torqued (I’d guess the same with his, snapped at the head)
