What did you do to your GMT today?

[BlazingTrails]

Replaced the resistor in one of my tail light LED's this morning. back to "lit" status :Yes:

upgraded from 1/4 to 1/2 watt

 

[jrSS]

Bought a oem tbss front grille. Some of my clips on my original are busted and paint isn't in the greatest shape. SCORE!!

 

[BlazingTrails]

You want to sell the old one?

 

[Blckshdw]

Beat me to it.

 

[rcam81]

Gave it a bath to remove last weeks road salt.

 

[jrSS]

Already spoken for guys. Sorry!!

 

[Purefection]

My canyon made the 355 nation 2015 calendar this year. Pretty pumped! Some very nice trucks in there! This is December's page!

 

[Grimor]

I took it out and drove up a hill.

The time stamp on the video is wrong, cause the camera settings got reset. Weird thing is, youtube hit it with video stabilization, so Instead of the bumper staying in place during the video, the ground does lol

Truck got dirty

but the view from the top was nice

 

[dmanns67]

Checked tire pressure and aired up the tires to 30psi. Also dropped the spare and air it to 30psi as well. Wanted to make sure the spare would drop when it is needed.

 

[BlazingTrails]

You're an inspiration D

Funny enough after dropping the spare and airing it, I see a thread on not being able to drop the spare

Wife has the same setup on her F150 that we have on the TB in regards to spare location and removal. She needed hers last week and it was rusted to shit. Her spare had not been dropped in 11 years. Needless to say it was rusted to $hit and had to cut the wire. Now her spare resides in the bed of her truck. Not bad though, first flat tire in the life of the truck.

30psi? Isn't that a bit low? IIRC it should be 32/35 or vice versa...I run mine at 36 all round and don't have an issue with wearing in the middle.

 

[BlazingTrails]

Depends on the tire. I run 35 in the back and 40 in the front.

On the van we run 34 front 30 rear.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Run a chalk test...every tire is different

 

[Sparky]

35 front/rear here, got over 60k out of my last set of tires that were rated for 50k so good enough. Seems to be working fine for the oversized tires also.

If you go by the sticker on the driver's door, its 30 psi in the front and 35 psi in the rear.

I run 35 psi front/rear in my OE and TBSS wheels all year except for in the winter. A little better traction out of lower psi.

 

[Darkrider_LS]

I usually run around 38 psi front/rear during warmer months and 38 front/32-35 rear during winter to get a bit more traction with reduced steering effort.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Prolly not the right place for this discussion

 

[MAY03LT]

Today was redemption. After cooking my hvac controller a few months back I was dreading doing it again. But everything went well and she's finally done.



I've been working on the trim panels a little too. Still have a lot to do just waiting on parts.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Got it in a lil vote for a calendar

[Darkrider_LS]

Just tested my wiring harnesses for both sets of lights to determine if it was in fact a dead bulb in one of the 7" lights. The filament looked fine in the light in question hence why I pulled out the multi meter for further troubleshooting. I was seeing 11.57 volts at each connection so that confirmed a dead bulb lol...guess it's time to pick up some silverstars for the rally lights

 

[AManders6]

Filled her up this morning

 

[Fishhunter911]

Blew the transmission in my 07 Yukon, slow to turn into my neighborhood, pressed the gas, BOOOM! Nothing but 1st gear works and that is slipping like mad.

 

[Darkrider_LS]

Washed it

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Washed it...well its raining and as good as it gets.

 

[Darkrider_LS]

Used it to pull a car out of a snow drift.

 

[BC backroader]

Mine got the "Mother Nature" carwash today, too, while I drove to the UPS store to pick up the lift kit (Mark's 2.5 lift/lervel, Z71 springs, and BDS 55619 shocks) purchased from Meiznic on this forum. Thanks, Alvyn!

Also posted a few pics in the scavenger hunt thread.

 

[kjkim93]

My 9006 plug died on my headlights and the one I brought from pep boys is different color. Does anyone know which is positive and which wire is negative on the oem plug?

 

[Aarkon]

Lighter wires are positive

 

[kjkim93]

Lighter wires are positive

So I assume darker would be negative then lol. Thanks!

 

[dmanns67]

Good news, I received my replacement Cree headlight from Kevin today.



Now I have my quad brights again

 

[BlazingTrails]

Yes but for how long? Hmmm

Once my driver got sorted out I haven't had any issues...been 6 months or more now.

My sentiments exactly. Dave hasn't had good luck with these so far

 

[jrSS]

Mine are also fine.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Took it out for date night at the wife's request. Love my light bar!

 

[Midnyteryder196]

It's easier for me to go the front fuse box route. No fiddling with those plugs. Idk why my 85 pin on high beam relay didn't work. Gonna finish that up today and maybe do a write-up since the last one for it lost its' pictures.

I took a couple pics the other day.. Here are where my wires go on the fuse block.. Its all on how the relays are installed I believe.. I'm not sure, but mine are on pin 85 on both high and fog relays and pin 5 on low beam.. You can use this pic in your write up if you want [emoji3]

Not gonna do the write up after all. Camera died and phone refused to take pics so none of it got documented. Your 85 pin on high beam relay is where my 86 pin is, I guess the orientation of the relays does matter lol. That's a good pic for it though.
