Wasn't sure if the o-rings were silicone or not. DD did not say "don't" so it would probably be okay.
Huh, I'd never heard of that, gotta be more careful, I learned something.

Had a nice tail wind driving northbound on I-75 today. Gotta love a RCSB!

I think the duals helped.

Full disclosure; This morning I drove the same route, but southbound (with a headwind) and averaged 21.5 on the lie-o-meter.

That meter reads exactly 1 mpg high.

I'd be happy with that. I'm still on winter gas, so that doesn't help. I'm running right at 17.5 on the lie-o-meter. Almost zero stop/go, and 60+ usually on cruise.

Isn't there some formula and then setting in our cluster to make the lie-o-meter more accurate? Mine was around 20.5 consistently before the level and tires, now its right around 19.5.

Gotta go into engineering mode and change the AFE Bias in there, I think. There's a thread on how to calculate the number based on a number of fillups, and then enter eng mode to change it.

We have a new vendor here with a new product. It's a tailgate mirror for the camera. He's offering a 30% discount for his invention on Amazon. I ordered one. Looks like an original idea.

I was hauling some long lumber last week and really needed one of these.
