Did quite a few things yesterday and today with the truck.
Hauled the bro in law's 5.7 Hemi to the machine shop. He blew a few valve seats and fudged up his pistons. Now my bed liner is full of oil, coolant, and gasoline! What's the best way to clean it all off???
Today I loaded up the truck with 15 light pole covers that I fabricated yesterday for work. Got them installed!
And finally, currently sitting and waiting for my baby to get tinted, 20% Suntek CiR all around plus 50% on the windshield.
Bucket of water mixed with Sunlight dish soap. Use a broom or a brush
Filled with fuel and drove 75 miles running 55-65 mph, occasionally hitting 70 mph. When I got to my destination the truck was showing 29.2 mpg. Drove around some, had lunch and headed home with truck showing 26 or so mpg running same speeds. When I got near home was showing 28 mpg. Stopped for a Frosty and then drove on home in Sport mode. Was showing 26 or so when I got home. Yes, I know that's not actual, but even at 1 to 2 mpg less, which is what usually happens when I hand calculate, I don't think that's too bad. The rest will drop because I'll be in town and using Sport mode. This is the best I've done so far. It's a good thing no Hemi Rams pulled up next to me, mileage would have gone out the window. It was a nice day to enjoy a nice easy ride and the wife appreciated it.

A few months back I downloaded this app that uses the OBD port and bluetooth to monitor the truck parameters and record miles and such. It has a section where I can add fill ups, it comes close to what my truck says, within 1 mpg, but it's never the same either high or low. I expected it to be consistently high or consistently low.
Installed the ReadyLIFT 2.25 leveling kit a week ago and just put on my new 295/70r18 Nitto Trail Grapplers with 18x9 -12MM Fuel Kranks. Loving the look!!
