Canadian Sport cleaned up

[Snakes709]

Well the wife, son and I are getting ready to drive from Edmonton to San Francisco to Las Vegas, total distance down is 4057kms with a shorter more direct route home of 2407kms. Decided to clean/wash and detail the interior and exterior. Also topped the tank off with 89 octane, normally go with 87 but decided to give 89 a try just for argument sake, not expecting much from it.

I have tried multiple times but cannot get my Borla exhaust tips to sit right. No matter what i do, right one sits abit high and left one sits low and abit right. Gap looks bigger on the left because when i traded exhausts and disconnected it from the muffler tip lifted up and melted abit of the black trim.

Made it home yesterday from our trip. Just over 6000kms total. Would have been alot better if the a/c system worked right. Got “cooler” air when i turned it on and by cooler i mean about 10* lower then ambient temp. Could only run it for about 15-20mins a a time, otherwise it would blow hot air or ice coming out, really confuses me how thats possible and wtf is going on with it. On the way home I hit a fox which broke that air dam that drops down when at highway speeds. It only broke the bracket on the left side but sadly you cant buy that piece alone. $650cad for the whole new unit, got it for $525 with military discount. Other then those 2 things the truck did awesome. 10.8L/100km (21.7mpg) which is awesome since my avg speed was 75-80mph

Nice. That's pretty good MPG. Sorry to hear about your truck, sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order

Already did that. I went to the deaer about the ac about a month or so ago. The part for the ac is on back order. Even tried getting it while i was in vegas but the closest one was in utah. As for the air dam i was hoping i could just buy the bracket but you cant. Ordered the whole unit which will be here tuesday. I already removed the old unit, at least it was super easy to do.

I personally would have saved the money and left it off. Don't like the air dam. Think it's silly. Especially for the reason you just had. Can't even clear a fox plus the plastic breaks.

I was thinking that after I left the dealership after already paying for it. Curious of how much it actually effects anything. Apparently suppose to improve fuel economy. After a 6000km trip, i dont really feel like going for a long drive without it to find out if it makes things worse or not.
