Love the mpgs

Great looking combo

My RX Monster catch can wasn't catching any vapor or oil for a while. I talked to Tracey Lewis, he said theres gotta be gunk in there somewhere. A pick didn't work, I blew in and out of every port... nothing worked. Tracey then told me to open the drain valve while it was running. that def made the difference. The can now catches oil, water, vapor as it should. something was clogged up somewhere.

Truck is rocking. Im gonna need tires in 2020.

My factory tires have 35k on them and started getting thin on tread depth so I picked up some blizzaks. This is the first time I have dedicated snow tires on a truck and what a world of difference. I’m excited to see how it does with even more snow and ice in the coming months.

Man I wish I got 19.6 miles to a gallon. When I bought my truck it had 17” after market rims and 34” tires. It would stay around 16 mpg. But now with the cam and 115 pound wheel and tire set up And the cam. I stay around 14 mpg in the city.

Closing up winter. Few more weeks and I’ll remove the blizzaks and put my factory tires back on. Bought these little inserts for the interior. Pretty cool for 20 bucks.

plan to copy three6gmc w the flex sensor. Maybe once a month full up on e to clean the engine.

mileage def dropped w winter 4x4 and remote starts

I copied pmoore4321 flex fuel sensor set up for about 60 bucks and 30 mins of time. The only difference is I had to put the sensor in between the the flexible fuel line that runs on top of the tank and where it ties into the the hard line.Then I just had to extend the sensor 20 inches (I think it was)

If you snap that flexible line out of it's clips there is plenty of slack to fit the sensor in there.
