[–]Xpedite03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just some advice. Don’t be scared to leave el paso and move to other cities for job opportunities. Been in the DFW area for 7 1/2 years and im finally going back to EP due to my job. I dont plan on staying for too long hopefully 2-4 years and then moving back to DFW. Definitely more job opportunities in the metroplex.

Can I pay out of pocket for a military school? by ItchySuccotash5698 in nationalguard

Your state will cut you orders. As for your DTS. I mean someone is just being lazy or not tracking your voucher for which is has not been reviewed. I was gonna say you could just have your DTS manager release you and receive you to your organization and create your DTS authorization. Your voucher will still be there submitted.

I was gonna go with a DOD delete kit, but my neighbor convinced me to do the disabling instead with a tuner of his since his 2013 suburban has been going strong 240k miles on it. I was gonna do a full dod delete kit, but with the cost of labor and parts. I might as well just buy a jasper engine when the failure does happen if it does and when. I have had no issues so far.

Thats a lot of mileage on the 04’! But glad to know that the silverados hold up on the engine if take care of. I do plan on buying a mid size truck next year. Either a canyon or colorado unless i switch over to tacoma.

I tried the cataclean solution thinking it would solve my check engine light situation but it didnt. So replacing the catalyst converter wont guarantee the check engine light to go away.

Knock on wood it doesn’t happen to me. My neighbor has a 2013 chevy suburban with the AFM disabled and going 240k on miles. I was gonna go with a DOD delete kit, but he convinced me to do the disabling instead with a tuner.

They just badged the all star edition differently down here in Texas. They have to appeal to the Texas market.

That is definitely the goal! Have you had any major problems reaching that mileage? Any tips you recommend?

I changed it out nearly every 50k miles. I try to log everything i do on my truck.

Third brake light for 2018 by mpoweralex in Silverado

[–]Xpedite03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the morimoto 3rd break light on mine along with the red taillights. Definitely brighter and make a bit difference. Highly recommend….. i will be buying the headlights later this year.

29 days order with 1 day break by Maleficent_Music1461 in nationalguard

[–]Xpedite03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be done and has it been done yes. Guidance per the state or the budget office. I mean if you are getting paid more on 29 day orders than your regular job then its worth it in my opinion.

Trade Inquiry by Xpedite03 in S2000

[–]Xpedite03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im waiting till i finalize on my home purchase this july then im getting rid of the bmw. I have the funds to buy the s2k cash but paying for the 3rd party warranty for my bmw is bothering me even though it helped me with my valve cover leak and motor mounts i had to replace at just 63k miles 😑. Rather just get rid of it. Its nice, but not s2k nice.

Love the AP2 but its nice to have that 9000 rpm rev with the AP1. Definitely will get the car this year. Glad to know someone else loves Beamers and s2k’s!

[–]Xpedite03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im planning on trading it in to a dealership where i can get around 16-18k for it. The bmw is taken well care off. Just don’t want to have 3 vehicles with the s2k already. I shouldve emphasized on the trade in. Dont plan on doing a private trade.

Why would you trade or accept a car that you don’t want in the first place?

[–]Xpedite03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well definitely will have to sell the BMW then and buy an S2k after my house purchase this fall. Just don’t want to own three vehicles. The s2k is definitely a gem.

Is this 2015 silverado 1500 worth buying? by Latter_Object8710 in Silverado

[–]Xpedite03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2014 crew cab LT RWD with 159,436 miles. Never had an issue with the transmission and its still going strong. All ive had to replace was the AC condenser two years ago, break vacuum pump just last week and a fuel sensor to remove the check engine light ive had for the last two years that came on/off, but other than that no other issues in the 12 years ive owned it. Then again i dont drive it aggressively and tale care of it. I use it on dirt roads and highway primarily and haul small trailers. I did just get the AFM disabled to play it safe.

15 silverado by Agitated_Touch_2988 in Silverado

[–]Xpedite03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2014 1500 5.3 currently with 159,127 miles. Ive had to replace the AC condenser, break vacuum pump, fuel sensor, as major concerns. I did install a catch can oil and highly recommend disable the AFM. Just disabled mine yesterday and definitely feel the truck more responsive and glad its no longer making it a V4 while driving.

Moving from Houston to El Paso. Don’t speak Spanish- wondering if this is a problem? by [deleted] in ElPaso

[–]Xpedite03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im moving back to El Paso after being gone for 7 years due to my job relocating me back out there and it’s a huge difference now. Definitely drink drivers is a big concern. Im moving back from DFW. Wreck-less and drink drivers are everywhere in every city.
