What do those shock and inclination sensors hook to?

Here in the eastern Tennessee area that we are at currently, price is about $1.75 for reg and $2.30 for premium

Eventually both pairs came from ebay. WorldPartDirect for the rears, these sell everywhere, even Walmart. The other pair was from a private party.

I have fixed running boards, these are the matt black pebbled ones, not painted to match. 19212819 and 19212824




Not sure what you're referring to. My wheels torque to 140 ft lbs and my girls can get them loose with a breaker bar with some effort. The main thing is the shock sensor will alert if the bum breaks the rear glass to steal the seats and if someone tries to tow the truck the alarm will activate.
must have been more then 120 then probably in the 200+ range if it took 2 people. the person tried standing on it as well but was bending the steel tube

Premium
$3.35 at the local mobil station best deal in town for premium fuel for (Top Tier)..

i think right now the stations are taking advantage of the low delivery prices to price gouge (except for sams club/costco )

i dont' have a membership though..
Have costco selling reg at 1.75 and premium 2.09. All other stations are still at 2.15 for reg some at 2.30. They are definitely taking advantage of price for profit.

Haven't been driving the truck much, refueling about once a month since November. Filled her up the other day to take advantage of cheap E85 prices and already burned 1/2 a tank. Then yesterday took about an hour round trip drive to pick up some Mexican food for my wife's birthday. A rhythmic vibration was noticed on the highway, thought it was the inside of the tires which are wearing unevenly because its time to replace the ball joints. Picked up the chow and took the back roads back home. Vibration became more pronounced and soon felt it strong in the steering wheel. Let go of the wheel and you can watch it move back and forth! Felt like a belt broke in a tire!

Jacked her up this morning and the tires looked fine, wheels looked fine. Pulled them off and the tie rods were thirsty for grease but otherwise seemed ok. No play 12-6 or 9-3 on the hubs and ball joints. Then we spun the rotors and the driver's side was deemed the culprit. The lower piston seemed to be sticking out a little more catching a high spot on the rotor. Dial indicator showed .0012 run out.

So my daughters and I pulled the calipers, greased the shims and guide pins and put everything back together. The guide pins were low on grease, there was none left on the shims. Brakes were done a year and 17,500 miles ago. Drag Reduction Clips were still doing their job but are really rusty.

Put the GM factory molded mud flaps ( 19212819 ) on the front since the wheels were off, skipped the part of the instructions where it said to drill holes and put two screws into the running boards. Still have 4 screws to secure them. Factory packaging was sealed but was missing 2 speed nuts. A trip to O'Reilly Auto and $5 fixed that. Truck felt fine and stopped great during a 15 minute test drive. We shall see.

More work planned for tomorrow. Won't be on much as my wife will be working from home from now on.

Jealous of this. Your Delco case strengthens. Either that or the Rotella for me next time...

I'll run ACDelco as long as I can easily attain it at a reasonable cost. Then it will be Rotella Gas Truck. As mentioned earlier, the numbers between the two are not that different and better than plain old Mobil One.
