California gas tax + sales tax comes to 90¢/gal. Colorado is 22¢ w/no sales tax. California gas is "special." I remember when big oil in the state bull-shitted the Cali environmentalists into believing that what was once toxic waste, was now magically an environmental boon. MTBE was, and...

Yeah, and we MAKE it HERE. I can see the refineries from my house. 😤

Agreed: Unless a cured coating has been applied to a properly prepared base metal, moisture can and will creep in through worn or cracked areas. Once that starts you've got deteriorating metal hidden from view. Thumbs-up for Fluid-Film (used by the Navy since the 40's). I used it extensively on...

Just got back from a trip to Yellowstone. Temperatures were in the 90's in Nevada, Idaho, Montana & Wyoming. I was carrying less than 400# of gear and passengers, drove from 75mph up to 85mph (not including passing) nearly the whole way and the trans temp was always between 192° to 198°. I...

Nothing exciting, but I did a 5-tire rotation with my new (to me) matching spare sport wheel.

I've got the standard depth PPE trans pan. I live in a mild climate and rarely tow anything over 1k lbs, so I'm not worried about overheating the the trans. The deep pan's extra 1.75 qts capacity certainly isn't going to hurt anything, but I've found with the stock depth PPE pan the trans runs...

My second battery was failing and I was keeping it alive by solar charging every couple of days, but I'm headed to Montana in a week so I figured I should replace it before it becomes an issue. Turns out the old battery had a bad cell AND it was undersized! I'd replaced the first one with a...

Yikes! That must have rung your bell! Glad you're OK, no doubt you'll be sore for a few days - take it easy! ?

LOL! Try registering in California. Every truck is considered a commercial vehicle so you pay higher fees, unless you can prove it's for recreation only (permanent camper shell/RV). Last year my reg was $511 for my 5yr old Ranger. I must be rich. Here's a quick rundown: Standard Registration...

Straight and 90° O2 spacers for tight spaces. About $10 - $20.

Bump. PM me for my route and timetable if you're interested.

That video just confirms what we've all thought, believed and/or discovered for ourselves while working on our vehicles. My last, personal, GM vehicle was a '70 Chevelle. Great car, what I believe was the last good GM product. I'll never buy another. My wife's uncle gave her an '80 Buick Skylark...

Gone

Surprised no one has answered this. The cleanest and most complete installation would probably be one of the Wolfbox rearview mirror dashcams.

After learning of the ¼-turn Stahlbus oil drain valve, I kind of regret installing the ValvoMax, but at this point that's it.

You'll lose a bit of bed space, but this looks good. Less than $800

I installed the Mishimoto catch can and, as anyone on this forum who's done it will tell you, that lower connection is a b*tch. But if you plan to upgrade, improve or otherwise mechanically change anything on the engine or drive line, don't take any short-cuts.

40k on a 3/19 SCREW. No repairs, no complaints, just longevity & utility mods.

I thought the Valvomax was pretty cool, but now that I've seen the Stahlbus I wish I'd seen it first. ?
