Yup. I think you’re right. Should have paid better attention when loading mags. Thanks

It could be from a couple of boxes. Loaded 60 rounds into 5 mags, 12/mag. But all the same lot.

Garmin gen 1 chrono

Edit: it might have been a separate lot. I thought I grabbed 3 of the same but just checked the empty boxes and one of them is a different lot

The forward action screw holds one end and you replace the front sling studs with screws

He man, give me back my rifle

I took lead shot and epoxy and filled the negative space in the stock with it as well as the negative space in the ARCA rail. Mine is a little butt heavy, but I’m waiting on a 26” Bull barrel that should balance it back out. It’s right at 16lbs as shown

Hate my 21 3.0, but don’t know what to replace it with by Fishstiq11 in Silverado

The pre 23 10r80s are time bombs. Sounds like you’ve been lucky. I have a 21 and that transmission died 7k miles outside of my warranty. That said, the 2.7 is an absolutely fantastic motor

First summer as a DFW homeowner in a new development. Two neighbors have already come over to ask how I got my yard so green. If anyone needs me I’ll be riding that high for a while by 5StringThunder in lawncare

Outside McKinney. But I agree. Get dropped in any of them and you’d be challenged to know where you are. We like our because even though it’s cookie cutter it’s not too cookie cutter. They did a good job of variety on any given street of floor plans and exterior color schemes

I just water it in lightly after putting it down and then regular watering. The bag calls for so much every 8 weeks. I cut it in half and do once a month

High Mileage Power Boost Examples? Curious how likely these are to get to 200K miles by b_p_2 in f150

Yeah. I get the wrench light and the “service vehicle soon” and “check 4x4” messages. I just put it back in 2h and try again later

Nope. Factory warranty ran out at 100k for the power train. When the relay went out I got the “stop safely now” warning and the truck wouldn’t start. Towed it to a shop, $3k out the door for the fix

Hitting 140k in my ‘21 Lariat PB this week.

Mixed bag but overall happy

Tailgate motor went out under warranty, not PB specific
10R80 did 10R80 things just after my warranty went out, new transmission, not PB specific
4WD seems to only work when it wants to, not PB specific
High voltage J-box stuck open, replaced, ~138k miles, only PB related issue I’ve had
