What did you do with your truck/shop today

Daryl Z71 · January 6, 2015

Ugh, that's what I fear of happening to my truck. Glad your okay.

With a heavy heart I have to report what was probably the last thing I'll ever do with my current truck...driving to work...

I had forgotten something at home and turned around and only got about half way home when someone pulled out in front of me to go back the opposite way I was going. Everyone is ok but both of our vehicles are more then likely screwed. I'm still waiting for the final verdict on what's going to happen.

Sorry to hear that but the important thing is that everyone is safe because a life is more important then a truck. Worse comes to worse you'll find a another truck that you like even better!

Got my light bar mounted and hooked up. When i reconnected the battery, truck wouldn't start. turn keys and nothing would happen even tho lights worked. Then after 30 seconds you could hear a ding ding then i could start it up and it would crank then die. Then it cranked up fine but after driving for 5 minutes it would shut off at stop. Now its fine, what gives?

There was some oddball procedure to relearn keys on certain year Passlock systems. It was something like leaving the key in "ON" for a long period, the chime would ding and you had to cycle the key or something. I'm a bit too lazy to search for it now but if you google "passlock key learning" or something similar you might find it.

Or do what I do and if a problem goes away, pat the dash, say "thanks" and move on.

Did you measure the spacer when you got it? I ordered a level kit through Top Gun Customz and it's supposed to be 2" level kit but the block is 1". Customer service said that due to the geometry of the ifs suspension, the 1" block will provide 2" of lift. Doesnt sound right but maybe the coils get stiffer and lift it the extra inch

1" on those will give 2"

That looked like fun.

I just semi-washed my truck in preparation for tomorrow's real wash and cleaning. I mainly did all of the nooks and crannies along with getting some mud off of the bottom of the fenders and wells.

And the oil is nearing 5k so that will be changed later this month along with the leaky valve cover seals.

Drove her home from work in the snow and frigid temps we've had the last couple days.

I know what you're saying. We don't have it as bad as y'all up north, but it's 8 degrees outside right now with wind chill of 0. I live in VA, I'm not used to this weather. Can't wait for summer to come back

This is why I remote start mine from the phone. I don't have to hear the poor thing on these extreme cold starts.

How long are you able to run your truck with your remote start? I'm trying to find a way to extend my wife's Traverse longer than 10 minutes. Yes, I can start it again for 10 more minutes but then that is it. Kind of a joke if you ask me. 20 minutes isn't near long enough to get the engine warm and start clearing the windows.
