I find the seat considerably more comfortable than my old Tundra (which did need a pad) and find the best solution when my back is playing up is to turn the heating element on - works wonders on a back that took a 60' lead fall climbing in my late teens....

Not the longest interval I've done but I'm trying, seemingly unsuccessfully, to keep to below 15k with this truck. She'll hit 189k this week.

16866 miles later means it's long past time for todays oil and filter change (whoops, time flies when you're having fun!!)...

That sounds to me like the e-torque battery might need checking. I think there are some longer warranty terms for those batteries so it might be worth checking your paperwork to see if it is covered.

Looking good. Is it bad that 'cleaning' out my interior involves a small Makita air blower and pressure washer for the floor mats? :whistle:

That seems fairly poor for seats that, I assume, are only just 6 years old? I haven't seen mine since putting covers on them but they didn't look too shabby considering the previous owner had been wriggling around on them for 150k miles.

Changed out the spark plugs. I wasn't sure what to expect with this job, some people have clearly had a nightmare while doing it and others say it's a 3/4 hour job. I'm fairly handy with a wrench, had bought the plugs a while back along with a fancy, swivel, magnetic plug socket as recommended...

Two nice new tires fitted Friday and today I did the front shocks, not nearly as much of a PITA as I was expecting and while I was down there I checked the balljoints and bushings and found all in nice tight order. Truck rides less like a clown car now, which is nice!

It was only drivers going there same way as me and only those that I had passed at speeds little more than theirs, so they had plenty of time to drink in all that lovely blue shiny stuff and whatever else it was that made them reach for the flasher stick...

Definitely not my fog's, we Brit's are taught to use them for foggy type conditions, not as daytime running lights. No-one flashing me today on my 190 mile round trip to and from the job site...

Replaced the rear shocks with some nice shiny Bilstein 4600's, tomorrow she'll get a new pair of wellies on the back as one of them turned into a trackday slick thanks to the rear passenger shock giving up. Do these trucks have a fancy self-leveling system on them? I would have expected the...

Hazarding a guess here, I notice that the yellow is showing that the system is on a 20 degree turn so presumably yellow warns you that you are in amber driveability territory and that you'll be in deep doo-doo when it turns red!!!!

Mine has the tiniest of snail trail type leak in top corner of drivers side. :mad: Today I pulled the 3rd brake light unit, no sign of water ingress but the gasket is starting to fall apart so I've bought a new unit from my dealer - at 20 bucks it wasn't worth procrastinating on that issue...

I'm fairly certain that I've seen the 2500 Big Horn's with Rambox's I love my Rambox's and the barn door tail gate is a must for constant access to tools in the bed.

I bought my '21 this April just gone. It had 150k on the clock, now has all but 180k, so far so good. Had the headers done after I bought it, replaced the dead 3 year old battery and am thinking about doing the shocks soon as the ride is a bit rock and roll. For the low milers among us that may...
