New battery. Wally Everstart Maxx 24F lasted 3.5 years so not bad. Had a little credit towards a new one. $65 out the door. Apparently the warranty starts over as well.
 
I thought the same thing....there are only 4, correct? It had that same issue with the stock bulbs. Maybe I need to turn the bulb around?
Its been a long time since I did it, but I think 4 is correct. You may have to turn the one missing around, or it could be a bad contact.
 
Those globs of ice look pretty treacherous... what kind of tires you running?

315/17 16 KM2s @ 15psi with a little siping on the fronts. There were several of sections of ice with rocks poking out and I could always seem to touch the next rock before sliding. These tires are exceeding my expectations on snow so far.
 
Can't get enough of this lake. Broke the tent cherry.

I spent a little time cleaning the lower plenum last night. The fuel rail and injectors are just sitting there. A few bolts and it is out. I was really tempted to pull my injectors to have them cleaned. Next time.
I'd consider pulling and sending out. Just had all my sent out. 3 were considered failing when tested. That was with 180k miles on what I believe were originals.
 
Looks like Cleghorn trail looking down on Silverwood Lake.

That's a little too far south for our trip in two weeks...

Yeah it is Cleghorn trail. I took these pictures real early in the morning between 6-8am. I also went on Pilot Rock Truck trail on the other side of the lake and the views are as spectacular.

You're right. It is just sitting there all exposed and easy to get there right now.
 
@NLXTACY are those slee springs? How do you like them?

Yes they are Slee mediums front and rear. I like them a lot actually. I have not had OME springs on my truck so I can't speak to how they would feel in MY truck but I've ridden in PLENTY of other trucks with them and I know enough to know I don't like them. But these springs have been great. Eventually I may have to go heavies because of all the crap I have loaded on my truck so it doesn't currently sit like its a 4" lift. Its more like a 3" because its so loaded down.
 
Thanks for the reply. I'm considering swapping over to some Slee 4" rear springs. Are the mediums you speak of the SOF4RM ?

From my harrowing experience from turkey day...The short of it is I suspected my Craftsman torque wrench. I was going to send it out to a calibration shop in Burbank but I didn't feel like spending the $35 and driving out so I just used the method from the link I posted.

Here are current numbers on my torque wrench (Listed /Tested) in ft/lb:

10/10
20/21
30/33
40/44
50/58
60/70
70/88
80/101

So what's the issue? I have been retorquing my lugnuts over and over and over and over again at 101ft lb. On top of that everything else I've been using my torque wrench on has been off. It turns out the problem is me and specifically the tools I have been using. I'm tossing this Craftsman pile of s*** and spending the money to get a good one. This of course means ALL of my wheel studs are suspect now.
