    Random thoughts on newer trucks with "better" tech.

    Just a post with some random thoughts I was having, and some back porch buddy discussion, since there's not a lot of new posts this week for gen 1's... To keep up with consumer demand for trucks having more features and tech, becoming basically luxury trucks or family haulers that can go off...

    I wanted a tri-fold tonneau cover, but I didn't want to pay 2k for it...

    Today, I was out picking up my truck after getting the transmission serviced, waiting for my wife to get out of the damn dollar tree, and I was thinking about how my nice new spray in liner was going to eventually fade, so I decided to look at some tri-fold covers. I was sticker shocked to...

    Steering wheel makes a rubbing/squeak noise when turning

    I have a noise in my steering column. It sounds like it is right behind the steering wheel. I lubed up the firewall pass-through area and no dice. It’s not suspension or anything outside of the cab, it’s right behind the steering wheel. Anyone ever had a bad clock spring make a squeak noise?

    I was trolling AutoTrader to get an idea of the current market, and I ran across a 2011 raptor that appears to not have fox shocks, or the upfitter switches... Was this a thing in 2011?

    Took out the plastic drop in liner what was on my truck when I bought it, prepping to get a spray in, and I saw these 3 holes on each side. Two look like grommets, and 1 is threaded. What went here?!
