I parked the e46 next to the Colorado today and walking to my car(s) this afternoon I was stuck by how low and short the e46 is in comparison.

I just swapped them on yesterday and I was too lazy to swap the caps in yet. But I will soon!

I couldn’t look beyond the half-eaten front bumper. 😁

Oh that's interesting. I was first going to try reversing the cables, and hope maybe that the cable length variation aligns better with whatever amount the bed is likely out of square. :lol:

I finally got around to doing this. I swapped the tailgate cables, and sure enough it's better. The difference in cable length roughly matches the amount the bed is not square. Yippee. :lol:

It's not perfect, but if I sit on the side that is slack it tightens up. That's good enough for me. I just didn't want the tailgate to warp if I put something heavy on it.

I still love having a truck.

Did you try playing with the PSI in the tires? -3 PSI really made a big difference in ride quality in my 1/2 ton.

It still drives like a truck . . . but a much better behaved truck.

I checked them and remembered thinking... Hmmm, that's not particularly high. But now I can't remember what it was.

34-35psi maybe?

I used to run with 45 in the fronts and 40 in the back, both 5 psi above the recommended on the door jamb, to improve fuel economy.

I noticed that the tread wasn't wearing evenly, so I lowered them back to 40 in the fronts and 35 in the back.

5 psi DOES make a difference in ride quality.

If you're a homeowner with a big yard, a truck is a "must-have" vehicle in the stable.
