Put air in a tire. It was about 5 psi low and I had to put a couple psi in a couple days ago too.

Sprayed some soap solution around the stem and along the bead and found these bubbles. Looks like a small leak along the bead right where the wheel weight is attached615d0c4480cae0b739fe78ada13a45ca.jpg

Annoying. Weight or corrosion?

Not sure, but I've never had a problem with it up till this past week. All looks OK. Guess I'll have to take it into a shop and have them check it out. The tire still has plenty of tread left.

On our 2007 with OEM chrome rims, had to take them in every so often and have them polish the bead seat and put sealant on it. Finally got tired of that and the flaking chrome and went with after market rims. Never had a problem with that after I switched.

Picked up a 6 x12 U-Haul trailer this morning for a 100 mile run north to pick up some furniture with the whole family aboard along with tools and hand trucks and what not in the truck. At 71 mph she averaged 14.5 mpg on 93 octane @ 0% alcohol content on the way up. On the way back, loaded down with an extra 900 pounds or so, she averaged 13.9 mpg at the same speed. Tires were set to 47 psi cold, they were 52 psi up front and 54 psi for the rears when hot.

The transmission temp at speed got down to 156 with an ambient temp of 82 outside on the trip north and 162 headed back down south. Coming off the highway and entering town on the way up the transmission temp got to 183 in city driving, about 7 miles worth of stop and go along with a steep climb over a bridge to Merritt Island.

The old girl done good!

Thats bead corrosion. Likely going to need to do have the bead polished up.

I wish I could find a heated steering wheel, the arthritis in my hands would love this in the winter months. It seems all of them have been bought up, and they are discontinued from GM... It's really sad. I have searched for over a year and it's hopeless. I refuse to get a used one, so I've been searching for good heated gloves instead.
as someone else mentioned why not get a used one and have it wrapped the thing will look and feel like brand new

Then to top off and end the day, wife comes home from work about 8pm and has a flat tire. I pulled it off the car to look at it and found a roofing nail in the tread. Now I gotta fix that tomorrow too. 051f77b4d0fecd982d90a7d46b615da9.jpg
