It has been a couple months since I've updated on here. I've been working crazy hours and haven't had time for very much.
Since the last time I posted in this thread:
I went to the Four Wheel Jamboree in Indianapolis after a ton of rain and found out my tires are terrible in mud.
I installed BrakeMotive drilled/slotted rotors and their pads a little before the Jamboree. I've got a couple thousand miles on them now and I absolutely love them. I no longer have squishy pedal. It is nice and solid right up until you stop. Great value in my opinion.
I sealed my headlights yet again and have gotten my condensation issues to almost zero. I've also developed a problem with the HID system flickering while the motor is running. Turns out that 10% of The Retrofit Source's last batch of Morimoto 3Five ballasts have voltage regulator issues. In true TRS fashion, their customer service is impeccable and they will be calling me as soon as the new/updated 3Five ballasts are available.
I got to send my truck in for service under the extended warranty. I popped the front passenger side exhaust manifold stud a few weeks back and both of the front axle seals have been seeping for awhile. They replaced all of the studs on the passenger side under warranty and replaced my manifold with a new one due to warping on the original. They also replaced the axle seals. I was very shocked that I didn't have to fight tooth and nail to get these things covered under warranty.
Getting ready for winter again, I need to put my factory 17s back on so the 20s don't get any more jacked up than they are now. I also ordered a set of custom fit carpet floor mats from The Auto Mat Store. Ran just over 100 shipped for the front two seats and a runner for the back seat. I'll post pics and a review of those when they get here on Monday.
