KHC said my new Gen 2 buckets are out for powdercoating.... so the P-side suspension is now off.

Not today but a few days ago. Removed the awful aftermarket bumper on my new-to-me 2011 screw. Removing it with the lift wasn't a problem but I'll need some help putting the OEM-style replacement on without scratching it... Fortunately, my future son-in-law is up to the task.
Some of the nuts were really stuck on the bolt and I couldn't get to them all with my impact driver so had to apply some penetrating oil and wait an hour, then used a breaker bar with socket. My back muscle is still sore....

Took the 400+ mile trip down to Sprague River this weekend. Got to off road a bit, float the river, play some bluegrass, eat some steaks, drink some whiskey, then wrapped it up by watching the eclipse.

Replaced my upstream O2 sensors about 500 miles ago. Truck had 117,000 miles, and I am pretty sure they were original. I was averaging 15mpg over the last few thousand miles. Since swapping the sensors, I am now averaging 15.5mpg. My average over the last 950+ gallons of fuel is 14.9mpg. Before I did anything to the truck it wouldn’t get anything better than 13mpg.

The truck is running very well now. All the issues I was having with random stalling and idle dips are gone. What I have noticed since changing the O2 sensors is that the idle response to load changes is almost instantaneous vs. before when it would stumble when the a/c compressor kicked on, or I would go from drive to reverse, or turn the steering wheel while on the brakes.

So, if I were to recommend solutions to drivability problems they would be as follows:

-Canister Purge Valve
-Spark Plugs (all 16) and wires (check the pellets in the coils)
-Upstream O2 sensors
-Reset BMS if battery has been changed.

Thats funny you mention it. I got an O2 code 2 weeks ago but didn't notice any change so i reset it and carried on. Got another one on friday and then again on saturday so i guess i'll change them all out now. Glad to see i may get better milage. I'm at 145k and as far as i know they are original sensors.

Yup...no argument here... Nex says it would make a great boat anchor.... have to agree. Going to leave it at our transfer station (dump) in the free section....not even worth trying to sell it.
