finally got a warm ish day and the ambition to break out the buffer and go to town on the hoe.
crap pics, the sun was setting and was very strong. good old parking lot life.
i even did the roof, unlike most im sure.
while waxing, i notice the pass side floor was wet so i pulled off the sill and the carpet and padding was soaked, so i put a towel between em and stood on it a few times to help dry it up, then stuffed some crap under the rug to lift it up so it can dry , is there a common thing that leaks down there? i pulled the a pillar trim, theres no water trail, and the head liner is dry. thinking it might be the xm antenna i suppose, if thats the pass side box on the roof.
and its not coolant, it just water, sill to about 1/2 way to the console was wet.

No problem, let it dry out and if the weatherstripping looks ok to a garden hose on a warm day and spray the door and see if that causes anything if that doesn’t cause it make sure the cowl drain on that side is clear

i blew them out last month when a new stain showed up on the moon roof slider. then dumped a glass of water in the drain pan and i got water from both front fenders @ the door and behind the front doors. so pretty sure those are ok.
Yep, worked really well. Super simple to swap out. Although the 'tempo' doesn't sound like the original but it stopped Hyperflash immediately. I'll take a few photos tonight of all the LED upgrades.
Today I swapped out the third brake light as it half LED's had stopped working. I got the black housing / smoke lens version which I think looks much nicer with the black/grey look of my truck!

Would it cause an issue if you have resistors with that module?
I never installed resistors so I just added the LED bulbs and the new LM487 as my upgrades.

X2 on this works perfectly I run the same setup, beats hacking up the wiring

had to take a quit trip out, that rubber seal looks as good as new. looks like its water test time. it had just poured here for two days, then i just went to the car wash before the buffer action took place. to wet to be the car wash i think. and the carpet up to the fire wall is bone dry, very odd leak.

O'Reilly's had Mobil syn for 28.99 plus a mail in for $10 gift card. Jug or singles minimum 5gal purchase, limit 6 jugs or 24 singles. Two rebates per household. I grabbed a jug and 5 singles. $32 something each after tax and $10 each on the rebate. Not bad. I had some filters still from my last RA order, so I changed it and cleaned the can. It was grosser than usual. A lot more fuel and milkshake. Is that from winter, or indicative of something else?

you loosing coolant? might have blown head gasket or cracked head. was the oil over filled? clue to a head gasket being bad.
that looks pretty bad to btw, not sure id keep driving it.

I am losing a tiny bit of coolant (maybe 1/2" every 6-8 weeks). I see no signs of it in the oil, though (I looked under the cap and paid close attention to what I drained) . It's just like that in the catch can.

oh that cup came from the catch can, missed that part. thought that came out the oil pan and separated sitting.
that could be normal, im sure the can condenses and adds to milk shake.

That's why I wondered if it was from winter. I have certainly seen plenty of milkshake in PCV lines. Here are pics from my last two changes.
