That sounds like a good time. I've been thinking about trying a Cars and Coffee, there is a local one near me at the Tire Rack headquarters next weekend.
I'm not on Facebook, and I don't need another vice, this forum is bad enough.
Does anyone know how trucks are received at a Cars & Coffee?

We hit a wild turkey this morning. Damaged the grill, I removed all of the shutters except for 3, disconnected & removed the actuator for the shutters in the center stack. We'll see about a repair estimate this coming week. Oh! 3400 miles... Still have A/C and no coolant concerns. Drive carefully !!!
LMAO....I actually thought about him right after I typed that!

That sucks any time it happens, but on a low mileage truck it gives you an extra little jolt of pain ...glad your damage was limited to the grille area
Yanked the Powerstops off and put the originals back on along with the original wheels and tires. One reason is to find out if the groan I hear when slowing is from the brakes and after seeing the drivers inner pad being ridged and thinner than the others, thinking it very well may have been the brakes groaning. Will know after driving for an hour, which is when it usually starts to make noise. The other is to get it prepped fro trade in a few weeks, and with those stupid lugnuts all swollen up and the tires needing a rotating, this is the last time I want to touch them.
After driving it a bit, first thing I notice, it is much rougher with the 18" Goodyear LT tires, bounces all over the place, could be the 43PSI in them too. The other thing I notice it wallows more.
Rolled over the 100,000km mark. Typically it would be around this mark I'd look into getting into a new truck. With this truck I dont feel that need at all. Id like to hold on to this one until the new model rolls out around model year 2020/21
