And feel cars on a lot. Black is 50% hotter than #2, which is 2x as hot as white.
Here's the hot tip: my black offroader has some sort of aluminized insulation (PO installed; no details, only confirmed in RF door) and UV blocking tint; I added clear, UV blocking Llumar windshield tint, and my interior temps are now 22*F lower than those in my tan pickup, parked side-by-side in my driveway.

INDEED Interesting ! An ounce of insulation beats a lb of freon used daily. I wonder if it reflects IR, such that the cabin is warmer on sunless winter days, but the occupants create heat that is more captive... A ha-penny for searchable keywords or a pic of that PF door sticker, sometime. No rush. Our electronic trailers in the army had a green paint that was somehow IR Resistant.
MADE IT! I'm telling you it was by the skin of my teeth too. It started sprinkling as I was putting the inner fender back in (passenger top header bolt is a PITA), then I got the tire on right after. My Wife helped me get everything put in the shed before it got rained on. As soon as I walked in the door, a big ol' lightning strike hit not too far away.
Discovered a few things about this truck along the way. He bought it in November.... soon after had to put a trans harness in it. I'm thinking that they dropped the exhaust to do that because everything came off really nice, and there was evidence that the O2 sensors had all been touched. Drivers side rear O2 harness was rubbing on the prop shaft, so I fixed that. It came from the factory with the auto running boards, as there is a code for it in the BCM. The harness is cut under the cab on both sides, and stationary running boards are in their place.
I'm telling you, it is POURING out there right now.
BTW, this thing is a 2015. It appears to me that the fenders are attached with adhesive in some places. Anyone know if that's accurate?
It would be NICE to know, if/what simple differences, occured. Battling the invisible enemy has been.a trial for centuries. Do they not listen, ever? How do they expect to build ANY Brand loyalty???
