What did you do to your Tow Vehicle today?

[33 RLDS]

Put a battery tender on both batteries as its just sitting around now..

[Diesel Donnie]

I finally bit the bullet and replaced all 7 LT215R16E tires with LT235R16E tires- We are happy with the improved ride and anticipate increased tire mileage- It was necessary to place a 1/4 inch spacer between the duals- The mpg seems to have improved also- I have not had the OBC adjusted yet but the operation of the diesel and Allison are not noticeably impared by the change- I will post further when we have towed enough miles to make an informed opinion- JMHO- DD

Well it still at the shop, getting the front end fixed, new grille guard on route, I think it made a wrong turn somewhere, Not here yet! Only got until the 7th then going camping again for the last trip of the year.
Got the oil changed.
The truck goes off the road at the end of the month.
I have snow tires for the car. so no need fro the truck over the winter.
I put storage insurance on it, over the winter. I live in a townhouse so it needs to be licensed
I will need to get the trailer winterized by the end of the month, Have a friend who lives out by the trailer, he will help
Will get the cover on it too.
I will get the stirring box replaced in the spring.
Way to much to do!!

So this is what else I have done, this was a year ago The truck was leaking through the seam of the roof.
everything was wet inside
I a few minutes over Easter weekend plus on the week nights
I have no life. ( NOT BAD FOR A GIRL)
Got the head liner redone also. I cleaned it all off, and got a company called 360 to recover it.

The Dodge got a compete service for our trip to Az next week.

Installed some new Alpine component speakers to replace the front factory components that had started to deteriorate from age. Also replaced the door courteous lights and map incandescent lights with some cob LEDs I initially bought for the TT...what a difference!

[micron]

Gave it a good bath and detail, bought some replacement headlamp assemblies, ordered a new grill, re-did the crappy factory undercoating and re-painted the skid plate.

[edatlanta]

I just aired my tires for the trip tomorrow morning to Road Atlanta.

[SmokerBill]

Replaced all 16 spark plugs in my HEMI. Used OEM NGK plugs. Coated the threads with anti-seize and the inside of the boots with dielectric grease.

Glad it's done. Some of the plugs were fouled, and the truck runs better now with the new ones. Next chores- change oil/filter, change differential oil, and service transmission. But not today. I'm beat from contorting my body and limbs changing out the rear plugs.

The Hemi has "16" plugs. That's a very expensive replacement job.

Not as expensive as if I had the dealer do it. My cost, about $100 for the plugs. At the dealer, I've heard that some pay up to around $400 to get the plugs changed.

[SmokerBill]

Today I changed the oil and filter, and changed the 75w140 synthetic gear oil in the differential.

One more job left to do... the transmission service. I have the filters, fluid and RTV sealant. Just need the motivation. Maybe Saturday.

[Blue Deuce]

I got the front passenger and driver side windows tinted yesterday. The rear passenger windows (I have a crew cab) and the back are tinted from the factory so thought why not get the other ones done.

Looks good!

I got all brand new tires for free from Michelin. I did have to pay $60 for mounting and balancing.

I had some P rated AT tires that had cracking between the threads on all 4 tires, these were the original tires with just over 15,000 miles on them. I was checking over the truck and getting it ready for winter when I noticed this. I went to the dealer where I bought the truck and they told me they did not work with Michelin on tire issues and warranties. Disappointed, I left.

I stopped in the lot next to the dealer and called Michelin and they created a case number and suggested I take it to a Michelin service dealer for inspection. They said the Ford dealer was the closest location.... I told them no way and they suggested another shop (Mr Lube) and I went there. They were extremely helpful and told me not to expect much, but they were certain they could get me some type or warranty discount from Michelin. Michelin gave me 100% warranty. I was even allowed to replace with a different Michelin tire. I now have the Michelin LTX M&S2 tire.

If you have a Ford F-150 with the OEM Michelin AT tires you may want to check them carefully for premature wear and cracking between the threads. There was a recall on some (though not on my tires) for this condition. My tires may have been near the same production time or something. It was a 5 minute phone call from the shop after inspecting my tires that gave me the 100% replacement. Check your tires closely, not just the air pressure.

[edatlanta]

I reduced my rear tire pressure from 80 to 60 since I'm back on my home base and not towing for several weeks. My TV is my daily driver. Of course being retired I don't drive every day.

[micron]

Winterized and then made room to hide the Christmas presents for my little ones.

[herewego]

Well the outside was clean,so i ran it up on the ramps, and cleaned the underside with my pressure washer , yes i know that no one sees it But i do ,i like a clean ride ....

Annie Oakly not bad for a girl tackling those jobs.....you have my respect. I decided not to get involved with those jobs anymore. More camping and travelling on my list for 2015. Good luck with your endeavors!

[Camper_bob]

Installed TonnoPro Tri-Fold bed cover, and heavy rubber bed mat. I came to the realization that it would be kind of tough to haul a stroller in the back of the truck if it's raining!! But I need it to be easily removable for when I install my canoe rack.

So far I'm VERY impressed with the cover; good quality, GREAT value, super easy install, and very functional for what I need. It even came with a cleaning agent, a stick-on light, a tailgate seal and some gloves! Ordered it off Amazon with Prime free shipping and got a very fair deal, and got it fast.

replaced all my rotted brake lines.........(salt belt)
