Put new pads on the front and flushed the brake fluid.

Young guy opened a detail shop near my work. $140 for a full size truck interior, exterior, and engine compartment. I think I'm going to get him to do my old Cummins for me and see how it comes out. If the work is good, I'll have him do my 2018.

Seems like a good price to me. Took me 2 hours just to do the inside. Add exterior and engine and that’s easily a 5 hour job.

I agree. I have my Sprinter done once a year exterior only (now granted it is huge) at a different shop and they charge $200. His seems like a great deal in comparison.

Replaced a bad glow plug and put in a new fuel filter.
Realized the last time the fuel filter was changed they didn't bother to either let me know that the pigtail out of the water-in-fuel sensor was missing or lost it themselves. Either way I could have had water in my diesel and not have been warned!
Last time I go to that shop to have any work done. I'm always amazed at how some folks just don't care about other people's vehicles or the job that they do. I guess I'm just wired differently.

Installed SumoSprings, oil change and filled tires to sidewall max for towing.
I was completely shocked at how much better the truck rides with the tires filled to 80 rather than the usual 50 I've been running them at for almost 20 years. Anybody run their tires at 70-80 all the time?

I bought Michelin Defenders recently and keep the rears at 80 and fronts at 60 per Michelin’s specs. Run great with or without the trailer.

Not towing I keep the fronts at 80psi and the rears at 60psi.

Replaced the incandescent license plate lamps with LEDs. Hope to replace the headlights with LEDs soon.

I have Defenders on my Silverado1500 that I run at 40lbs per the dealer.Can I run them higher with the trailer for even more stability?

It depends on the tire itself. Yes you can run them higher and it will increase stability. The real question is what load range tire are they? You can safely run up to max listed pressure on the sidewall of the tire.

YES. Up to the maximum inflation pressure shown on the tire sidewall. That's true for TV and TT and safe. UNDER INFLATION FOR THE LOAD IS NOT SAFE.
Higher inflation reduces sidewall flex, increases stability, reduces tire temperature, and increases the load-carrying capability of the tire... ALL GOOD AND SAFE. The only potential down side is for tires to wear heavily in the center of the tire.*
* Full disclosure: I've never seen that wear happen on my truck tires (LR E) or trailer (LR E) and I keep my tires at the sidewall maximum, towing or not and have them rotated every 5,000mi.

What does the max pressure on the tire say?

Reviewing work completed by Jayco service. Looks like part of the fix for the crack at the bedroom slide was adding this support in the propane bay. I don't recall that being in place before the repair.
