What did you do to your full size rig today?

[Old Griz]

How much is full sized gas in your neck of the woods? Regular here at Costco is about $3.75 gallon.

Here in North Idaho regular gas is $2.79 to $2.99

Put on Weathertech Window Vents covers. Next is the Mudflaps. Yeah I'm building an old man rig

Nice old suburban! I have an '01 2500 burb right now and love it but I miss my 1980!

I put gas in my thirsty girl, 36 gallon tank, the pump actually kicks off at 100 bucks and we have to start another transaction to fill it lol. Also started my patch collection on the headliner.

I like your 10th Mountain Patch. I left Ft.Drum in 1997. C Co. 710 MSB.

 

[Cummins_Overland]

Loaded new EFI live tunes, putting down 500 RWHP with the turn of a knob . New tune also has the truck running more efficiently for the re gear to 4.56 and the 37" tires.

What about the running in the extreme cold (minus) temps?

What kind of mileage are you seeing with the 4.56 and 37", what RPM range are you sitting at 75MPH?

 

[Overland H]

Finished the traction board mount.

Haven't been able to drive the truck much but we did 120 miles round trip yesterday. The trucks saying we're avg 15 mpg I think its a little higher since the speedometer is off by 10 MPH at 60 MPH, But at 75 MPH we're turning 2100-2200 rpm

 

[Overland H]

Those rpm’s are on the high side at 75mph. I’d you consider running a 4.30 gear. I have heard of a few guys running that combo but haven’t seen any real results with that combo.

No pics, but I’ve tracked down the full extent of the 125 amp cabin power feeder that was cut when my rig was “demilled”. The hacking wasn’t as bad as I imagined and I have all the needed parts to restore it when I want to power a frig or more.

next up is to finish tracking down the rest of the smaller 60 amp feed.

 

[OffRoadIcon]

Finish the rock light install on the ram last night. Really happy with the layout.

I did consider putting in 4:30 gears to basically put my effective ratio back to stock which is 3:73 but I wanted an effective ratio of 3:91 or 4:10 so that's the reason for the 4:56's. So far everything I've seen online 2000-2200 at 70-75 is pretty normal for the truck, if it is on stock tires and a stock gear ratio. With 4.56s we more or less hit the mark.

 

[Wildlee]

Installed the dirt king lower control arms and Leitner Active Cargo system.... just in time for them to release the newer model.

 

[trikebubble]

Winter wheels and tires on, looking much more pedestrian for the next 4 months.

I’ve seen the term rock lights before, but don’t understand what the use is?
