A follow up...that mat I got is really nice! I put my knees on it and it feels good. Winter is around the corner so I can't finish it properly, but I was thinking some door edge material for the top of the tailgate.
Another advantage to this is it seals my tailgate up (I cut it to do...
As long as we're on this subject, how much would it cost for a set of those Mikey lines? Something tells me I'll be revisiting this issue.
I can't afford to have my truck down...this might be a good winter project for when the trucks not earning it's keep.
My dealer told me they are covered up to 36k.
...and I wasn't aware this is a reoccurring issue, so this time I'll let the dealer do it, next time (??) I'll be looking into the Mikey replacements.
Thanks for that - I didn't know this so prevalent.
Good news and bad...it is covered under warranty, but the service advisor I spoke with wasn't very accommodating. They are open on Saturdays and can have a hardline guy to do the line, but he won't commit to do it as they're only open 4 hours on Saturday.
My truck works for a living...they have...
When my truck is cold, I have developed a drip just behind my radiator. It goes away when it warms up.
I pulled the plastic cover off underneath and I have a wet tranny line. I was hoping there was a fitting I could tighten, but no joy...
Of course it's part of a longer line than doesn't look...
I used to be into building the fun stuff too, but that was before things got so expensive. A few boards and processors were modded and destroyed, but I managed the number three spot worldwide for a certain class.
I had a fifty gallon water tank outside with a plumbing coil running through it...
There's no better feeling than getting rid of all the old crap you've done to an old OS install.
That's also a real good time for an image for a real restore of a freshly tweaked system. And I don't mean relying on some restore disk that puts all that crap back on from the store bought model.
I guess nobody saw this thread...but anyways...I found an exercise mat with a decent skin on both sides to try. Nice and dense so it'll feel good on the knees, but I'm not dragging much over it without a temp cover.
Oh well - It'll be worth changing it out again for what I gain.
I climb into the back of my truck because I have a topper, and the protector I have has ridges on it that hurt my knees. I'm looking for something with a little cush...a rubber pad? Some kind of backed carpet that can handle weather? I have no troubles cutting, mounting...whatever. Just looking...
Those just might be the ticket for me...I've been looking for a 16" rim that can handle a heavier load for a future 5th wheel. I have the rest beefed up already. It's so hard to find weight ratings for rims.
What?? Let me enjoy my nap...):h
I have the Garmin Nuvi 350. It's getting long in the tooth by today's standards, but that ole girl gets me there and I don't have the heart to kick her to the side of the road just yet. The newer models are tempting though.
The only issue I seem to encounter is...
...another point I didn't mention is I feel it is much safer on the road. Once I plug in my destination I don't even have to take my eyes off the road.
It saves my driving attention for the cell phone...:rolleyes5:
I use my Garmin GPS daily...everyday I'm all over town working and it works so well I don't even have a map book anymore.
If it got stolen or broke, I'd have a new one immediately. It's just so easy...and I love taking directions from a woman...):h
