Changed the sunroof weatherstripping yesterday. It had a cut in it and was getting pretty stiff after 10+ years exposed to UV. Also ran it through a car wash to get the salt off before our next storm (which is why I changed out the weatherstripping! 
).

Dude that intake isn’t doing jack shit with all those bends in it. Please tell me that’s painted black PVC tubing. Your performance is going to suffer considerablygot 2 370 alts fabbed up on the truck...air intake isn't what i pictured would be made for the truck but for now it seems to work... Will have to go to a shop to have the air flow rate figured out compared to what it needs to be
The 370 alt on the motor is putting me at 15.2v which it is handling well... only aggravating thing is the alt regulator is wired to bypass the pcm and is causing my charging light to stay on throwing a code... the fix is to send the alt back for them to rewire the regulator and add the middle pin and wire for the pcm to recognize the alt is there to stop throwing the code... but I can't do that for a while
Motor alt has a double pulley which the fan shop welded together... if anything happens to the other alts I'll be able to disconnect without having to be without the truck cuz it's own belt system

Back at the dealer. Roadside assistance brought me here for tire patch. Went into store and came out to a flat. Sheet metal screw with a washer on it.
And you couldn't plug it, used run flat sealant, refilled it with air or put the spare tire on? Kinda seems like you like being at the dealer... gotta keep those hands silky smooth

I went there not because I couldn’t do it myself but because I am under warranty including roadside. Why not let them do it while it was covered already?

He tinted them himself. I think there are pictures further back.

It isn’t just getting older for me. There is more in my mental calculus
1 - It is covered. Doing it myself saves me nothing and costs me materials.
2 - I am dressed for office work not auto work. I have calluses from working in a lumber mill and construction for years. I also wore different clothing I didn’t mind getting tire marks on and didn’t care if it didn’t wash out.
3 - parking lot is sloped. I don’t like trusting the emergency jacks if I can avoid it, especially on any slope. Roadside brought chocks and a floor jack.
4 - I would need to walk to a parts store for patch material. Fix a flat goo is a pain to clean up afterwards.
5 - I still get pains in neck and back if I exert myself. I don’t like my neck imitating breakfast cereal - snap, crackle and pop.
My neighbor had a screw in a tire making it flat overnight. They ended up having to replace all 4. Shop said where the screw was they couldn't reliably fix with a plug & the tires were worn enough that putting a new one on would create a problem.
The days when I actually want to change a tire or fix a flat with a plug are behind me. Kinda like my roof. I put a complete roof on my house in 1989. Now days, I do not believe I can hoist a pack of shingles up a ladder over and over again. Glad to pay somebody to do that.

Got my shovel mounted, cleaned the truck and took some pics. That’s all.

Ordered front/rear pads (Akebono ASP) and front rotors (Raybestos Police). $252 OTD. Only the fronts need to be done, but Pep Boys has the pads at 25% off so I'll toss them in the garage until they're needed.
Just out of curiosity, do those PIAAs actually put out sufficient light to warrant their cost these days? I had a set way back in the late 90s and they were awesome, but reviews on the modern iterations are pretty lackluster. The stocks are ok, but I do a lot of driving on NPS roads and could really use something better.

Installed yet another fits-F150-only product (real caps not stickon covers...direct fit, though, so stands to reason the stickons would all also work):
...jacked up a mirror glass on one side doing it, though.
Oh well, in two days we'll see if F150 glass fits
