    Not sure at this point.
    Topped off my coolant reservoir yesterday between min/max.

    OE 50/50 coolant costed me $29.

    Wondering if Zerex would be just as good?

    Been hearing a lot of the HG issues and I think I’m going to do a coolant flush being that I’m at 70k now.

    Hey, what's the upgrade blower motor do for you? I'm noticing a ticking noise in mine (original)...if I can't find a leaf or twig in it and get a new one, might as well take it as an opportunity.

    Thanks!

    A little more airflow and a brushless and quieter motor.

    You guys are going to need to make a sticky or put it in the MODs / Tutorial section. I think a bunch of us will eventually end up going this route :thumbsup:

    Best looking flares I've seen for a 2nd / 2.5 gen, I would have added these to mine and added aftermarket wheels years ago if I would've found them. They look factory.

    Pull the trim, remove knob, slide boot, re install trim and knob done. Pull the boot so there’s slack for shifting

    :mad: Got another nice gift after washing truck from the fab shop that installed my LT kit - battery light on. Alternator output was fine but stuck at 13.6v - 13.8v, negligible AC/no AC pulses at the battery terminals so figured regulator was done. Didn’t feel right so started checking…, sensor wire had fluctuating 0v - 6v, continuity test failed from alt-s fuse to 6 pin connector at the fuse box. Both green wires were nicked when cutting out the inner fenders for the secondary shock hoop, the one strand connecting the alt-s finally crapped out after 4 years. :facepalm:
