    Yeah, white is easy to make it look clean.

    When I bought my 06 sierra it had 254,000 miles on it. I buffed the whole car once and past that it could be mistaken for a truck with 1/3rd the mileage and wear even when I didn't wash it.

    She looks good; clean and stealthee.

    I've always liked dark colours, but after having a silver car I have a new appreciation for how clean they can look when they are filthy dirty. LOL

    Agreed. Not to mention the thermal advantage. White or light will always outsell black or dark colors in the southwest.

    Thanks! We get a lot of fine dust blowing around here. Previous car was bronzemist, and that hid the dirt VERY well too.

    Finished looming the main harness



    Chasing down a P01637. Could be a bad connection somewhere, or my new 145 amp alternator is toast already. Skimming through Google, it sounds like these systems are pretty fussy about what replacement alternator you use. I'll run through the diagnostics and see if I can figure it out. I still have the old 105 amp unit to fall back on, and the new one should be under warranty... She bogs/breaks up bad and goes stupid lean under hard acceleration. I'm chalking that up to the P01637 issue. Could also be a plugged fuel filter I guess. I have a new one on the shelf that's going on soon.

    Ha! No, they just call it "The white one..." They all seem to enjoy riding in it though.

    One of my boys has already claimed it as his when I die. Let's just say. I don't let him hold the ladder for me.

    Alternator tested fine. I might have been chasing a red herring with the P1637 code. Backburner that for now because... I think I found the bogging issue



    Fuel filter was BAD. Won't know for sure until I get it warm and really hammer on it. Either way, it needed to be changed. That's the only disadvantage of living where nothing rusts; you can't tell how old a fuel filter is by looking at it. Outside was pristine. No rust at all. I guess all the rust was on the inside. LOL

    Take the good with the bad. It's September and we still hit 105° today. I can't wait for Fall/Winter.

    Well, the truck is better. The filter helped, but it still leans out under hard acceleration. Especially once it goes into PE. I can watch the wideband swing from 14.7 to 12.5 then creep back to 16+ before I get a chance to let out. So, this afternoon, I pumped the tank empty. I'll pull the module tomorrow. I have to believe the pickup screen is almost plugged solid. Might have something to do with the 3 gallons of E85 I pumped in the other day...

    So I pulled the module. The sock was pretty bad.





    Not as bad as I would have expected, but I think I know why... The problem really only presented after the truck ran for a little bit. I assumed it was an issue with the truck being warm. Now I think it's because of that sock filling up over time. Nothing to do with heat. Basically, run the pump, sock fills up. Shut the truck off, crud falls away from the sock. Repeat every drive cycle. All the junk in the tank kind of confirms this theory. Here's what's left over from the last little bit of fuel siphoned out of the tank.



    Here's the inside of the tank after a thorough scrub with a wire brush, some scotch brite, a good rinse and a towel dry.



    Then I dumped in some OSPHO and sloshed that around. I ordered up a pint of the POR-15 tank sealer. Should be plenty of time for the OSPHO to dry before it arrives.



    Also did my first and hopefully only ricer mod. The tank shield was cracked, so I stitched it back together.

    Very wise to drill that hole at the end of the crack to keep it from growing. What, no black zip ties ? lol
    For the record : I am NOT a naked meth-head who shoves rocks up my butt.

    If that's what you call a ricer mod, I'm curious what you would call having a giant wing and fart can...

    Tank sealer came today. Probably could have gotten away with the 8oz. can, but $5 more got me a full pint. This stuff reminds me of the old silver or chrome Testors model paint. In color and smell. Not sure why I expected black, but this stuff was definitely not black.



    Now for the 96 hour cure time. Between baking it in the sun and blowing it with the fan, I'm betting it will plenty dry in 4 days. Fingers crossed, I should be able to put it back together for the weekend.

    No reason in particular. I Googled "fuel tank sealer" and the POR-15 stuff was the first (and maybe only?) result. The reviews were almost all positive so I stopped looking.

    96hr cure times, holy sht.
    I think that's worse case scenerio. Imagine you got a 50 gallon diesel tank with a 2" fill hole sitting in a cool garage. It's going to take a long time for those VOC's to off-gass. I have an 18.5 gallon tank with a 4" opening at the top, a 2" filler tube and a 3/4" vent hole. Plenty of air flow. Plus I have it sitting in the 100° sun during the day, and a fan blowing at night. Less than 24 hours after application, I barely smell any fumes and it's hard to the touch.

    Time will tell, but I'm really impressed with it right now.

    Tank is back in. It can spend the next 48 hours drying in the truck.



    While it was out, I hit the bottom with some leftover spray on bedliner. I like the way that turned out.

    Well I'm going to consider my fueling issue solved. Went WOT a couple times and the AFR held steady at the commanded 12.5(ish). I guess when you don't have a bunch of rust sloshing around in your tank, the fuel can actually get to the injectors...

    Now that the tank is sealed and I have all the bits for the injector swap, might be time to throw the GTP injectors in and try a little E85!
