I love this project!

Right! I'm all f'ed up now on this, kinda, because I think my extended warranty runs out in May of '26. I kinda want my blend door and HVAC to go out while I have the warranty because after that, I'm gonna be screwed. But I barely drive the truck, so it's not getting wore out and breaking.

After 10 days the truck got to come home. The shop foreman said there were no codes, and they ran a 1/4 tank of fuel out of it test driving it without any issues. His opinion was the transmission probably burped, probably because it had been overfilled. He checked the level and its fine. They're...

When I lived in GA I absolutely loved having a snorkel on my truck. I was fairly dusty trails often and my air filter always stayed clean. I live in flat South Florida now and I haven't been off road in a long time. Now the snorkel is a fancy truck ornament. ?

Ughhhhh. I miss my truck. It's stupid because I work from home and it sits parked. But I still miss it!

Ughhhhh. I'm preparing myself for, "It is driving fine. Tech couldn't replicate the problem." Even though I have trans fluid all over the bottom of the truck. And then we'll play games until my extended warranty runs out in 2026 and I have to eat any problems. Actually, I'm pretty hopeful...

What caused the demise? Over filled or 10R80 problems?

I think it's @ctechbob for the win here. I forgot the trans doesn't have a skid, so I checked under it and found some drops in my driveway.

Well... ...the truck is still under (extended) warranty and it was the dealership that did the work. I'm going to pull the skid plate tomorrow and see if it's holding trans fluid, and go from there.

Ohhhhhh geez.

Roughly 35,000 miles with a filter and fluid change 1.5 yrs ago. The KAM was also reset so the transmission could relearn.

My wife drove an hour north to try some other towns beach out. We stopped and had a nice brunch before hotting the beach. No issues with the truck! We left the beach, ended up on the turnpike, no issues. After about 45 minutes, I let off the gas as I approached a slower vehicle, and after...

Hahahahaha I'm dying! ?

Out of habit as a retired LEO. But... ...it does give you much better visibility for getting out of a spot, especially where cross traffic is a concerned. Plus, when walking back to your vehicle, it gives a much better view to appreciate your car or truck! :D ETA: Case in point - damn my...

I'm sllllooooowwwwwwwww (been busy!) Here is how I learned to rust blue a gun the slow way: It's a process, but simple!

Practice on something maybe. Also, I will post up the video (later) I learned through process from.

I forgot to post on Monday that I assembled the revolver! From this... To this... And next to the .357 project I scored for $67 and put together!

I worked on a home bluing project, the slow way. Rusting agent: 3/4 tsp non-iodized salt 1tbs white vinegar 4 tbs hydrogen peroxide Completely degrease your parts (brake cleaner) and then wipe a coating of the rusting agent evenly on the metal. It'll quickly form red oxide. Drop the red rusty...

It's actually not stupid at all when you think of CAFE laws (which one can possibly argue are stupid). By making Rangers with auto stop/start, along with other fuel efficient vehicles, they can hit their Corporate Average Fuel Economy numbers, and they can keep manufacturing V8 trucks and cars...

I work from home and haven't been driving my truck; it's been very neglected. It's been parked under some palm trees near the carriage lights on my garage, and as a result it was covered in dead bugs, bird poop, and junk from the trees. The roof and hood were also growing mildew. Today i detail...
