Fell victim…. Replaced with BD style manifold. Driver side I may or may not swap sometime later in the week we’ll see. So much fun.

“HAPPY NEW BEER EVERYONE!”

I washed the Limited for the 3rd time this week. I hate slushy winter weather. Snows pretty much gone. Weird for Dec 31.
Thank Gawd I have a car wash membership!View attachment 194449
I pulled up to the car wash today and it started snowing, so backed out the line and went home.

I don't have a membership so I only wash when there's a promise of 3 or more consecutive snowless days. 🤪
 
I miss my Cummins so much. Sometimes it almost brings me to tears.
hanging with the boys make me wanna get a pre-ban Cummins.
but I won't be using it to its full potential unless I make it dedicated fun truck only. My commute is way too short for it

That’s what I had. 2006 2500 5.9 CTD Mega Cab. Built it to 600HP/1200ftlb torque with a ton of mods, no issues. You can do pretty much anything to that motor and still be within legal limits………for the most part. It was built for the street though, not off-road.

Having a membership makes washing it more often nice.
I’ve probably bragged about this before, but the touchless car wash I’ve used for years give me their best wash for $30 a month. Their top wash is usually $15.95 each time and I get unlimited washes up to one each day for the $30. I’ve had it so long they’ve grandfathered my monthly charge. You can’t get a new membership for that price anymore.
I go through often in the winter as it has an undercarriage wash and should help with road grime, salt or any ice counteracting chemicals.

I pulled it out of the garage to make room to work on one of my other Mopars. Got it run jng, and hoping for some decent snow the next few days to give it a try.

1979 Chrysler Sno Runner. High performance model. Has a whooping 10hp and claimed 34moh top speed

Pads and rotors...at 38k on a 2019.

Rear pads almost done, rotors were rusted...inboard pad was riding on mostly scale.

Front rotors were completely rusted for the inside pad was riding on all scale, rust just starting to creep up on the front face. Pads were still at 50%...

And I wondered why it didn't feel strong when stopping...

No other issues found, slide pins still good, went back together fine.

For what it's worth, use a propane torch to warm the caliper bracket bolts to release the locktite. The rears came right apart without heat, the fronts were tough even with some heat...

I used Raybestos E3 rotors and Pads from Rock Auto. Buy them as a rotor/pad "kit". I've had good luck with the E3 stuff on my Silverado and Equinox.
