waiting till i have some more paint work done and do it all at once next summer...that's the plan anyhow.

 

i was just getting your goat anyhow!! hahaha

 

well its been bothering me for years now, but i do want some other stuff done so at the same time i'll get it repainted.

 

Why rush? It's not like you live in Alaska and get snow 250 days out of the year.

 

HAHA i know right, 4x4 high/low work great but the A4WD setting is so nice for the start and end of the snow season when it can be half dry half slick. i did not get a chance to mess with it this weekend.

looks like winter is here to stay though! 4-7" tonight

 

she hit 96k tonight...seems like yesterday it had 63k on it....

running like a top though!!!

 

Move to a smaller state and your mileage won't go up so fast.

 

Have enjoyed reading this thread and looking forward to its continuation. Cheers!

she really needs a bath! this winter has been rough but she keeps racking on the miles without issue. Gotta love a truck you just change the oil and put gas in and never gives you a lick of trouble.

 

I'll say, go wash that thing today.

 

However,

If your license plate is correct, with 100k now, maybe a new set of plugs?

 

Plate is correct, city miles, idle time and a heavy foot..but overall i'm very happy with the 11.5 mpg it gets most of the time.

I replaced all the plugs back at 70 or 75k miles with Autolite double platinum's. It had a plug blow at 62k before i bought it and that was factory plugs so i went ahead and replaced them all.

 

its even worse now lol i'm going to have to clean it up pretty soon even if it does not last.

 

Mine's looking a bit scuzzy too - time for a bath for it as well.

 

well the caliper that has been slightly sticking for the last 2 years (right rear) ate through the pad, rotor and was grinding like hell. i asked the other half whos been driving it.."oh that must have started today" unhuh..

so new caliper,rotor and rear pads later its done, except i need to bleed it again as the pedal does not feel 100% right.

ran her through the car wash also...didnt do much but its a little better
