I haven't noticed any real gains from the higher octane. But then again my blown plenum isn't helping matters much. I do know that the pinging is greatly reduced. Seems to idle a little smoother too. Wish I knew if the previous owner put a tune on my computer. Maybe thats why it runs better on premium.

 

Changed the PCV and changed my oil=) Valvoline 10-30w full synthetic.(my spring/summer oil) winter I run Valvoline 5-30w Full synthetic. Oh ya and a new WIX filter =) After the PCV i noticed it runs quite a bit smoother now for some reason?

I have removed the side steps, (Black Tubes) and removed the old muffler and installed a glass back with a down spout. (Was my cheapest choice.) I am pretty happy with the sound, truck is running great and imo looks a lot better with out the side steps!!

 

ya that's what I was wondering, if it helped reduce the pinging. I too have a bad plenum and the supreme seemed like it helped mine out quite a bit

Almost forgot installed my Chrome Texas Ducks Unlimited Hitch Cover!!!!!

 

Before I changed the pads on my 02 I noticed the rear calipers were sticking but thought this was possibly due to the pistons being fully extended. Changed the pads, bled the brakes and voila...The calipers still stick. Changed the calipers tonight and the verdict is.....Hooray, half way there. The driver side rear is now good. The passenger side is still sticking. Ordered a brake hose for the passenger side rear and we'll see what happens. The search for the guilty part is on!

 

You keep talking about all of these things that you're doing to your truck, but you're not posting any pictures of the work. What kind of crap is that? Where are the pictures man...
