What did you do to your truck today?

[nubuilder]

I would take what you would enjoy driving more. Plus can you keep the "bear" under control?

The truck is more comfortable for me (not much headroom in the G6; damn sun-roof!), I've got my system in the truck (but the G6 has a damn good factory system; wish that put these kinds of systems in older vehicles, but people spend more time in cars today), and I'm use to how the truck rides (I really don't care how a vehicle rides that much; hell, my motorcycle is rough as hell with a 3ft wheel base). The bear is easy to control....well, until I need to merge onto the interstate because some a-hole won't move over. I know I can fit the seats in the cab of the truck no problem. I can easily put one in the front seat and one in the back, or I can fold up the back seat and put them both back there probably. The other downfall to taking the truck is that I might come back with more parts than I went there for. But, I really don't know what else I'd need.

Just washed the truck.

Needless to say I'm taking the truck tomorrow.


Hey Carl, check your PM's!

Drove it 380mi to pick up the seats and tube.

The seats are not torn, but are worn. I ended up getting the entire front diff. assembly with the tube. I didn't feel like trying to yank the shaft out of the diff and breaking something. $75 for the pair of seats and $50 for the diff. Pics to come tomorrow.


I got my best ever MPG with the truck. 20.11MPG!!!! $68 of 91 octane. That's doing 60mph the entire way and only stepping on it 4 or 5 times, but keeping it under 3k.

Hauled a load of sand to top up the boys sandbox.

Took it to a couple of junkyards (buying parts, not selling ). Got a valve cover and a $150-$500 sensor for the Miata for $20 (not sure if the sensor works, but it's worth a shot).

That's about what I get with mine!
.... at 70 MPH

And if you're staying under 3k, you're not stepping on it

I'm still jumping for joy after that fillup! You're not comparing apples to apples. I've got older technology, a 4spd auto, 3.42's, and 31" tires. I was running 1500-1600rpm the whole way. And I was trying to stay off the "go" pedal. There wasn't really a need to step on it other than those 4 or 5 times.
