What did you do to your TRX today?

[MyWifeLetMe]

im a little over 60,000 miles so I ordered the following. should be a very busy weekend coming up

16 spark plus
8 coils
both belts
both belt tensioners
4 idlers
oil drain plug
oil cooler drain plug
S&B replacement air filter
K&N cabin filter
Shift knob
2 wipers
4 Oil filters

For ease of oil changes, why not install drain valves? It also can help to prevent the brittle oil cooler from cracking

Using two wrenches easily prevents damage to the oil cooler, and I much prefer magnetic plugs over valves.

Ordered a catch can from billet tech in April. Looks nicer than some of the other ones and I could get orange to match the engine. They advertised 6-8 weeks.

We're now at 10 weeks and no word. I emailed them last week and I got a reply yesterday that the can is ready, they are still waiting for mounts to be made and sent out to powder. So still several more weeks I guess.

When I asked for an estimate on how much longer the answer I got was "I wish I can say, only time will tell".

WTF, it's your store you make the damn things. Seems a ridiculous response.

What other brand do you guys recommend. Don't feel like waiting another 2 months and after that interaction I'm not sure I want to support them.

UPR has a much nicer filtration setup and they have always shipped my stuff pretty quick.

Mighty mouse. I’ve been a billet tech fan for about seven years now, but the media and build quality on the mighty mouse is definitely superior.

J&L. Cheap, quick, and effective. Plus out of the way for other goodies. Put mine in last week at like midnight in 5mins

 

[dat_trx]

Eibach pro kit complete. Measured after I took it for a drive so everything could settle.

RD: 42-3/4”
RP: 42-1/2”
FD: 41”
FP: 40-3/4”

How high did you need to set your jack stands to get the tires off the ground? I have the same jack stands I want to use to rotate my tires, but I wasn't sure if they would be tall enough.

I feel like an underachiever. My truck hit 44,000 miles today so I had the oil changed and the tires rotated.

I ordered back in March. Still waiting for mine also ):

Yeah, that's typical as BilletTech does everything in batches and they can be slow and non-communicative, IMO it's the best one though if you don't mind being patient.

 

[vipermike626]

The parts came in so I replaced the shifter and the wipers. This weekend is going to be busy

 

[FULLTHROTTLERICK]

Imagine Doing This Bananas Obstacle Without a Spotter?!! Luckily we had a good one but Ali in the ZR2 Wasn’t So Lucky!

Its all subjective to what is best. My UPR has been awesome shipped fast and uses factory connections for easy removal if needed. Highly recommended. Definitely pricey though.

Installed a GTHUAS V.C exhaust. With the valves closed it is ever so slightly quieter than stock. With the valves opened it is just a bit louder than stock during warm starts and cruising. Cold starts and when you hit the "GO" pedal this exhaust has a substantially louder note than stock and a different tone, but not obnoxious at all. Zero drone so far and the exhaust has a noticeable growl that it was lacking before under throttle. I still have the stock intake and this exhaust does not drown out the supercharger whine. I'm thinking I will need their high flow cats or a set of Kooks long tubes if I plan to move to an aftermarket intake so that one item isn't drastically louder than the other.


I wasn't a fan of the bright blue vacuum hose or worm hose clamps that GTHUAS includes with their installation kit. I had some extra black vacuum hose floating around my garage and used more factory looking clamps. Used the wire harness tray under the cowl to transition from the driver's side of the engine bay to the passenger side. There is also a wire tray that leads from behind the overflow tank and down behind the wheel well splash guard that can get you down to the trucks frame.

Here's a quick video of the valves opening and closing.

Upgraded the window guards today. I think she approves.

I realize I'm talking to myself here, but just trying to keep myself honest (because I won't be sharing this with my husband).

Not what I did to my TRX, but what I did to someone else's truck with my TRX.

I clipped the side mirror of a truck parked in front of some busy shops on the main highway. I'm hyper-aware of my surroundings driving through that congested part of town, and I did see the parked truck there, but I was more concerned about the squirrely 900-foot 5th wheel on my left, and I misjudged my clearance to the right. I saw in my rear-view that the mirror folded forward, like they do, but I went back to make sure there was no damage (TRX was fine, tiny almost imperceptible scuff). By the time I circled back he was already back in his truck. The mirror wasn't broken, but it was jolted loose and detached from the mirror housing. He was trying to secure it with a rubber band lol.

He didn't speak English, and none of his passengers did either, but he clearly didn't want to deal with insurance, or worse, LE, so I asked him how much and he said 50. As I went into my purse, he changed it to 100 lol, so I split the difference and gave him $80. Wasn't $80 worth of damage (just needs Loctite or something to reattach the mirror), more like $80 worth of white guilt. And shame.

TL;DR oblivious woman driver overpaid for some glue

Least you got some intellectual honesty here! I am terrified of doing the same bloody thing!

 

[Quietpeen]

nothing exciting, just an oil change, used Amsoil signature series 0W-40 and a Mopar MO-041 filter.

 

[Mark McAwesome]

Couldn’t figure out why my AC had been terrible for the past few months. Researched new fans, bigger compressor, checked the forums for similar issues…nothing. Changed the cabin air filter to the stock filter, AC blows artic cold.

PSA DONT USE A HEPA CABIN AIR FILTER.
