Looking into the Silverado 5.3 liter. Never made it to the dealer, as we just made it home from the campground.

I had one as a rental a few weeks ago when my Ram was down. Nice truck.

Completed install of TPMS. Fixed dealer repair of emergency break-away (crimping was bad and wire came out). Completed preparation of 100w solar panel set-up. Getting ready for a 3 week road trip. Going to do a weigh in at CAT scale this week, have always been curious.

Got the front door windows on the F150 tinted to make it a bit more comfortable during the hot days of summer.

A few days ago, got new extreme/heavy duty brakes and new rotors on the front of the pickup. The dealer told me I needed new pads front and back, however the independent shop I went to told me the rear pads were close to the thickness as a new pad.

Yeah, I’m kinda particular about servicing my truck so I do all the maintenance on it myself. I don’t want to have any surprises when out on the road.

Bought an adapter sleeve for my receiver hitch, to go from my 2" receiver to the 2 1/2" receiver on the new truck. Got to looking, the ball looked like it was off center to the left by about 2". Shows off center on the back up camera. Stuck my head under the truck and where the hitch mounts to the frame, it's bent to the driver's side. How the heck can you bend one of these hitches like that?

Just sunk another $3500 into repairs. $2K to get the AC repaired - lines to the rear AC unit were leaking. Another $1k for a big exhaust repair. The cat broke (cracked pipe) away from the front exhaust header while towing in the Adirondacks two weekends back. Just about swallowed my heart when the whole thing exploded - BAM! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..............

The pipes didn't hit the ground - held in place by the engine cross member. Pulled into a garage in Tupper Lake, but wasn't much they could do to help. Was a 3 hour trip home with open exhaust header - my ears still hurt the next morning.

Apparently GM doesn't stock the part in Canada. Had to wait over a week for the part to arrive from the US (thanks in part to Memorial Day). Considering how popular the lambda platform is, I'm shocked they didn't have a cat for it in Canada.

I love this truck - but man repairs are getting expensive!

Checked the truck for damage after the garage door was blown in from severe thunderstorms overnight.

Ouch, that stinks. I hope there wasn't too much damage.

So far I really like my Garmin with the b/u camera, I really like the wireless pairing and automatic action, trusted it in the day and night and backed up perfect alignment to the hitch with ease

Fought a wasp that built a nest in my mirror housing from not driving it for months. It was a stale mate. I drove away from work when she was out of the nest after she hitched a ride 35 miles to my job, and parked on the other side of the building. She didn't find it, lol.

Had the front end alignment re-checked. Just rotated 2 back tires to the front. It was still good!
