Pulled my niece & nephew on a sled behind it for about an hour through the snow. Looked like fun, but I didn't trust either of them enough to let them drive and me get on the sled - ones 12, ones 9. My daughter did steer a little bit - she's 4, and did pretty good donuts.

After that went to the lumberyard and got stuff to build my nephew a new bedroom in their basement.

 

Is it just me or does that not sound safe lol

 

relized i have a snapped sway bar end link....wondering why im getting 125 miles to a full tank, and thinking about getting a newer Jeep Grand Cherokee....The ol dodge might have to go if i dont get the mpgs back up...

my buddy is throwing a scanner on it later today, and said hes going to test my 02sensor and such. Hopefully the CAT and 02 sensor is my problem, cuz i dont have emissions with my truck, so ill hollow that bitch out.

 

My wife didn't think so either.... but I only got up to about 10 mph, and we were in a fairly wide open field, so there wasn't much to hit - except for frozen cow patties.

 

people crack me up when they whine about fuel mileage. You drive a truck with a v8. Did you expect a gas sipper? I'll admit I say "damn 100 bucks for gas" but I have a modded big *** truck that needs 93 so I know it's gonna be expensive.

I have a app on my phone that I plug in my fuel records, oil changes pretty much anything. It figures out my mpg

According to it:

Avg mpg: 10.662
Max mpg: 17.698
Min mpg: 5.958

6 mpg sucks but I'm not ditching my truck over it. Also gotta keep in mind. Having the remote start now I let it warm up more than I used to. Well before I didn't really let it warm up at all.

If anybody has an android phone the app is called aCar. It's free and has been a great tool for me. I never really kept track of oil changes. This tells you when it's due based on months and miles. Has all kinda stuff you can plug in to give you the costs of owning your vehicle. You can type in stuff for multiple vehicles as well.

I told Chris about it not sure how much he's used it yet

 

well im averaging 4.6 mpg right now, thats a little to low since i dont really have any mods, and i have gears that SHOULD HELP my mpgs

 

I have gears that should help my mileage too but I haven't ran an entire tank through it without stomping on the go pedal since I got past the break in period. My mileage is the same as it was before getting the gears installed.

 

Measured a thousand different points for my custom sub box so I'll be able to put one of my Sony's in the truck and actually be able to put the back seat down.
I got the sides cut out and it has me wondering if I'm gonna need a base tube to keep the sub from blowing due to a little less air space than the original box.

 

A/C compressor finally siezed up... 1 mile to Autozone... No belt... Should make an interesting morning. I was told to get pn#900k7 just to bypass the pump for now until I get the cash for a complete A/C rebuild.

 

Went hunting at my granddad's place last night...saw nothing.
Nearly () got the truck stuck though, started spinning the tires going up a wet, muddy hill in reverse. Put it in neutral, reverse, gunned it. 4WD works! Lot of mud on the truck to prove it!
