I replaced my battery last year and didn't do anything different than if I were replacing one in older cars with zero electronics. No problem at all with anything; presets, etc. The only difference is removing the block of connectors attached to the +post, but that's not difficult to do at all...

Thanks all.

I have the split-bench front seats with the lift-up center console. On the floor in front of the center console is a small tray sitting on the driveshaft hump where I put sunglasses, keys, etc. in. I picked up something out of that tray the other day and was surprised how warm it is. (This...

Yes, REALLY!! I guess you didn't read my first post. Also, my truck is NOT a diesel and it is an extremely quiet and smooth ride regardless of the tires. If you had read at the beginning you'd have know it has nothing to do with the truck but with my ears that have degraded severely the past...

What's with wheel sensors? This is the first I heard about them, and that if they crap out you're dead in the water. What'r they for...supposedly?

IFFFFFFFF.... you ever get this Unconnect error resolved please let us know. You have joined the multitudes with exactly the same error; me soon after I purchased in 2022. Mine will comes an go, sometimes months apart. At one time over a year after no error then up she pops. "The dealer said...

The cup holder would be make or break for me.

What's next? Doors without hand latches and operated by 12volts only? What genius designs these stupid 'advances' and what brain-dead committee approves them?

I scraped and damaged my shark fin when entering a parking garage due to the downward slope at the entrance. That angle was just enough to cause the problem even though there were a couple inches, supposedly, to spare.

Or one swerves to miss a pedestrian, or slides on ice, or the injectors start clogging, or a flat tire causes brief erratic behavior, or 1,000 other 'or's. Keep the damn government outa my rig period! If one thinks every car should be monitored and disabled by some software that doesn't give a...

This topic was discussed several years ago when the idea was floated that monitoring and acting upon drunken erratic behavior was to be built into cars manufactured beginning 2026. It was both mocked and reasoned back then and soon forgot about. Well, the beast raised it's ugly head again and...

Now that's a goof that I'd make! Reminds me of the time when I thought I was a gyppo logger. At the end of the day I scaled the logs like they were square instead of round and I made no money. Ha ha. Talk about feeling like at idiot at the mill.

I've used Rairdon CDJR of Kirkland WA for all my issues, the main one being a failed transmission at 26k miles. Other than pipeline delays, the service dept has always been quick and great in my experience. I have nothing but good experiences with them.

Still would like to know what codes were/are being thrown. With all the angst going on concerning this truck, it would be nice to know what the ACTUAL problem is, which may help others in a similar bind.

This is why I continue to monitor this forum. The folks who step up and help are truly fantastic.
