Changed the oil and topped off the washer fluid. I’ve noticed over the past 4 oil changes since I started noticing. 5,000 miles ends up being almost exactly 50% on the oil life. I change it every 5k regardless of what the oil life indicator says.

Today was a big day for me and the Ranger. I spent several hours removing almost all of the mods & upgrades that I've done to it since I bought it. Some things were more trouble that they were worth to remove so I left them on.

Now there is a big pile of Ranger stuff sitting in the garage that I need to dispose of.

Anyway, as of late this afternoon, she is sitting on the dealers lot with 477.7 miles on it.
If anyone needs a virtually NEW Tremor, I suspect it will be available tomorrow.

The empty stall in the garage was filled with a 2024 GMC Sierra SLT Crew Cab 4x4 with the 3.0L Duramax Diesel.
My sister has the 3.0 in her Denali. Took her a while to receive it after ordering it. I drove it a couple times. I liked the power train combination. Gets great fuel mileage as well. Congratulations!

That is still in the plan. If things go right, the F250 will be leaving sometime early 2024. Now I gotta get rid of it. The garage was crowded before, not is it packed!

If any of you guys need "mod parts" let me know. I have quite a bit of stuff. I'd love for someone close by to buy it all.

Just a suggestion from my diesel fuel injection employment history. The 7.3L is way more forgiving maintenance wise than 3.0 Duramax. My suggestion would be to be early on your fuel filter changes and highly suggest running a fuel additive like Stanadyne Performance Formula to ensure a long fuel system and exhaust after treatment life.

I have a bunch of Stanadyne additive and Diesel Kleen. I occasionally add a tiny bit of diesel biocide as well. Guessing Duramax isn't going to need the coolant additive like the 7.3 does.

Got a new battery installed at Autozone. I’ve had good luck with their batteries and service over the years. Also like their veterans discount.

installed my ram mount ball with my quadmount wireless charger onto my builtright industries dash mount. the charger is not hooked up yet since it's freezing cold outside and I don't feel like running a wire today! I kept my "old" usb c to usb A wire to be able to plug in my wireless charger.
Did use alian double sided tape for the tray since.. I broke the tabs.. last summer! I do have a new tray sitting somewhere in my craft/3d printer room that I will install when the cold will be away... in 5 months!

part list:
Dash mount: Part #104024
quadmount head: MAG Wireless Charging Head
rammount ball: RAM-B-238U
rammmount double socket arm: RAM-B-201U
charger:
12V USB Outlet Panel, Linkstyle PD3.0 & QC3.0 18W Dual USB C Car Charger Fast Charging, Waterproof Car Charger Socket Power Adapter Outlet with Blue LED for Motorcycles, Boats, Marine, Trucks, RVs

enjoy!

Slapped on the rear Rokblokz after work. That being said, these things are nice - but, I could never imagine paying full price for them. Not sure what they’re made of to cost what they do. But, they sure better last.

Final visual bits are coming together. Just need to schedule a front tint.
