Nice you going to get a PCM tune with that? See that as option in their work sheet.

I don't have a second vehicle to get me around in while they have it, so not likely. Unless work sends me down to our Georgia DC, then I could send it out to them and pick it up on the way home. I seem to pass their exit off the highway when I do the run down to GA.

I also ran new lines to withstand the draw from the power demand of this radio. Next will be a new antenna after Dave does the new hoop for me on the bumper.

Watch out, according to the specs that radio puts out 2x the legal power if you're using AM/FM and almost 4x if you're using SSB. If the Commision busts you you can kiss a lot of things goodbye.

I had it on low from the start. Radio is currently OOS so it may be a mute point at this rate.

I put this on my TB yesterday, looks nice maybe other TB owners here in Rochester, NY will see it and join.

WORD!...I need one of those....

This should probably go into the "What are you GOING to do your GMT today" thread. Went out to load up my kayak for a day on the water, and noticed a black spot, on our driveway. Its right under where the disconnect is when I normally park. First thought is FML. Crawled under and started checking around. Everything up front looks dry. Then I noticed this...

Looks like I need a wheel seal. I just changed them and my bearings a couple of months ago!

Fixed another exploding transmission line

Looks like you dumped a gallon of Armor All in your engine bay! Quick! To the trails and rescue your truck! lol

geez man, don't you know how to put a clamp on a hose? Are you using the right hose? Hasn't this happened like 5 times?
maybe it's the gmt360 gods punishing you for bailing on a lift party for a BBQ ....

Well, I was finally able to get the TB up one the lift today. After I got the wheel and rotor off, I was able to indeed see I had a bad wheel seal. I didn't get any pics of the seal, but it was pushed out about 3/32 of an inch, at the top. Pulled the seal, and more bad news... Time for another bearing. And only 2 months later! Went to the parts store, got the bearing, and the axle wouldn't fit back in. Back to the parts store. They had indeed given me the right part number, but someone in QC must have been sleeping that day. Bearing was covered by warranty, and Timken upgrade was only 14$ more. All put back together now, and she's happy.

Jason, any fitment, wind noise issues with the window shade screen and what brand please? Making room for a back bumper?

Cabin filter mod, I did notice a slight drop in perceived air flow from the vents but not nearly enough to change back. Used some spare aluminum for the door.

That's one messed up bearing! How'd you not notice any grinding with no rollers before the seal started walking out? :poke:

I was at Darien lake this weekend for the Zac brown band concert/ bachelor party and a guy had a graystone TB with 20" SS wheels acting like a baller. Few buddies and I were making laps around the camp sites trying to find ppl to party with us, found his camp site and rolled 5mph by to make sure they all saw my truck. His buddies go, "Dude look at that guys TB, that looks way better than yours, that thing has gotta be lifted! I about cracked up laughing with my friends; talked to some other TB owners who stopped by our site to check it out and told them to check the site out. I do need a sticker tho, need to snag me 2 of them!

vent shade brand, they seem fine, don't notice any additional noise and they're handy when I'm smokin a cigar and it's sprinkling out. With the rear I'm making room for tires and it makes sense to do it before I build the rear bumper. HARDTRAILZ had trouble with his tires getting into the rear bumper.

Had he brought BBQ to the lift party it would be different.....or maybe not, almost forgot where you live. The term BBQ is used loosely up there!
