I don’t think you’re nuts because I did the same thing. But then again, I sort of feel nuts when the neighbors look over at me and see what I’m doing. I’ll do the wheel wells and everything.
I want my neighbors to think I'm nuts so they leave me alone?

That's when you slowly lick the brake dust off the wheel, in the most sensual way possible while locking eyes with them.

Nope, not nuts - I have had winter tires mounted on rims for each of my last few vehicles and after I do the seasonal swap, the take-offs get a thorough cleaning before they are put away. I also try and remember to apply some 303 to the plastic wheel well liners and the wheel well trim.

I also take the front & rear license plates off so that I can polish the bumper, especially the front.

Spa days, inside & out top to bottom. Polished my Roll-N-Lock cover. Other forum members have mentioned moving their key less pad to inside the gas filler lid, so I did that mod. Mine was on there when I bought it so I'd never seen the door without it. I like the clean look but I'm getting those "that truck looks like yours but it's not" vibes. :shock:

Close that gas cap for pictures, don't want that knowledge too public.

I swapped out the DPFE sensor and added (uncharacteristic for me) a glass decal to rep the forum:

Transmission fluid and filter and added PPE trans pan. Impressive how dirty the fluid was at 14,830 mi. I sure does shift smoother and no more shuddering under light acceleration.

Do you drive in the mud or under any kind of excess as far as dirty conditions?

I haven’t really been able to get to any trails or anything to get the truck overly dirty for any long period of time. Trying to decide whether I should be changing my transmission fluid.
I just feel like anything that will make that transmission run better is a good move.

******************
Is there a synthetic or essentially a best in class transmission fluid that is recommended?
******************

This is definitely not my area of expertise let alone very much knowledge. I really should learn a little more on this area.

I mean geez, I change my engine oil with synthetic every 3000 miles… Damn that number moves quickly lol)

The beauty about synthetic is that over the years, the price increase has not been as much has oil technically getting a good bang for your buck! Just my thoughts.

I have towed a couple times with it. It’s a 2wd so definitely no off roading ?

Use the recommended ULV fluid for GM and Ford 10-speed transmissions. I used Valvoline as that was available.
