HI guys and ladies ( assuming there is a bit of estrogen here..?)
Bought the truck in Calgary Feb 07- Lease back with 34,500 miles. This unit is my "work" truck in that I am in Welding Automation Sales and have Northern Ontario as my territory (check out the maps..tis BIG). I drive typically 4000 miles a month (get paid mileage - am gratefull and thank the welding gods for that.!
).
Mods are numerous:
Secondary oil/fuel filtration, running a canned tune by banks (6gunPDA), Deep pan in the Ally, Transynd, TransGo Jr. (self installed), full new front end that is levelled: Cognito UCA & Steering braces - HD new Pitman/Idler, New tie rods with PPE sleeves, Bilstein 5100's fron NorCal, 30 Gallon Aux tank (homemade Alum) under the toolbox, All on Headlight mod with HID/Projectors in lows/PIAA bulbs in Hi + a pair of 510X PIAA driving lights, 4" AFE Turbo Back exhaust (kitty delete), Alien Patrol front bumper, Pump rub fix this friday and a PPE lift pump on order.!
Other bling: Vent visors, SS nerfs, Euro Tailights, Linex'd Box, CatchAll mats, All white painted door handles/tailgate handle and tow mirrors-debadged..running 265/75R16's Michelin XT M/S hwy tires on PYO's (summer) and some good cheapo 245 snow tires for winter on van rims painted white.
Sirius/TomTom/RIM for Tunes/Nav and Comm.
Been a member of DieselPlace for near 3 years.
Typical Hwy mileage is 19 mpg running at 65 mph.
Typical towing is 12 mpg
City - 14 or so.
I dont race or off road and have come here to read/learn things from those of you that race/sled pull /off road/engine rebuild etc. What you guys do out there and your experience with what works will help me keep my rig on the road for the 1 million miles I hope to get out of her.
Expensive hobby but I absolutely LOVE MY TRUCK.! and would not want to be in anyting else if Mr Moose decides to walk in front of me late at night.
Cheers and thanx,
stk
