After dinner my wife brings in a jar of peanuts. I start chewing one and I hear a loud clicking sound. That’s weird never heard that before. Now I move my jaw around it’s clicking like I never heard before. Very annoying. Another getting old thing. I did nothing to start that. All I can say what’s next?

Thank you all for your answers! I live in Roseburg, OR, small town life in southern Oregon. I will try the car-part.com website and see what I can find. But most likely sounds like we'll be rebuilding the connector. Was told there isn't enough wire but maybe we can pull the pin as suggested and replace it. Thank you all again, I really appreciate the feedback!

Some people feel validated when other people make the same choices they do. Plus, it's a bitter pill to swallow if you spend several hundred (if not thousand) dollars and have to admit you made a poor choice. I continue to regret every tire I've ever bought for my trucks that wasn't the BFG All-Terrain... including my most recent set. I bought the HD Terrain, for a few reasons, more aggressive tread pattern, 'designed/intended/marketed for HD truck applications', wasn't convinced about the less aggressive KO3 compared to the out of production KO2. In hindsight, the HD Terrains are LOUD, and are so aggressive they actually vibrate the truck at low speeds. The tread wear, which was always amazing on the KO2's, is not nearly as good on the HD Terrain. I could overlook many of those negatives for a commiserate increase in off-road traction, but that isn't there either. I'll also say that if I DIDN'T get the HD Terrain, I would be second guessing how much better they might have performed and end up wishing I had got them. Now I know. One plus side, no leaks or punctures so far. Regarding climate, it's warm here, snow maybe once or twice a year. The soil at my house is very loose and sandy and why I went with a more aggressive tread pattern.

Dad (96) is fond of saying, "The things that drove me to the doctor at 60 are now; Lets wait and see a few weeks. Most of it goes away. ".

Same with the washer on a drain plug, never changed one.

That is a fact! Different vehicles, different climates, heck even different types of dirt, asphalt, and concrete roadways.

I'm still healing from cervical fusion of 4 vertebrae, March 3 2026. Every morning is wait and see how I feel. Rotator cuff and bicep muscle surgery from Sept. 6 2024 isn't normal yet. Right hand carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve surgery from Oct. 3 2025 still have numb fingertips. Nerves have a mind of their own when it comes to healing.

What's next?? It's a special surprise! I had a similar experience last week. My right shoulder started to click every time I lifted a light weight as part of my rehab for my my left shoulder! It doesn't hurt but the feel and sound are very unsettling!

I only ran one set of the original KO tires long ago and never had any issues with them either in that regard but then again I don't force the situation the odd time when I did encounter heavier rain and never do with any tires as its asking for trouble, certainly when a tire is on the worn side the risks go up. So who knows if there is more to that story about the KO2, its a popular tire that guys were putting on as oversized and wider tires on light vehicles, that's like a light kid skiing on adult sized water skis as it doesn't take much speed to keep the kid up on the lakes surface. At some point physics take over with tires, like driving too fast on slick ice roads and ending up on ones lid or worse !. Never the less BFG themselves pointed out one of the redesign features of the KO3 with that longer angled groove across the tread pattern as that was meant to help evacuate water for a reduced chance of hydroplaning is their claim. I was in Costco today and I knew they handled the Bridgestone Ascent so I took a look to see if they had any and while they did, it was the non LT version so the tread is not quite as deep. I spoke a bit to the manager and she said they look the same, one version vs the other in the same size tire. Physically seeing them answered my question as per the spacing of the shoulder blocks, I prefer a tire that has more shoulder block spacing for traction but that can have its negatives with weird shoulder wear over a small groove spacing like this Ascent has. I am not a fan of tires that have a solid shoulder, longer lasting yet most likely but not meant for dirt traction. There is no one tire that can do everything the best.

Its reusable unless its leaking. No need to change it. Seen these trucks with original drain plugs like 5-10 years old. Also. Its not on backorder. TLDR: Send it. I've never changed one on any of my trucks, and they've never leaked.

This is how mine does, when it does it. It's only here and there. When it happens, it is pretty loud sitting idle, but will go away. Mostly though, so far, it's not making that noise.

I’ve noticed over the years a couple of shots of whiskey does create a mellow effect. I don’t desire any more. Flavored whiskey is what I have around. It’s low on calories. When I visit my favorite casino they have a ton of flavored margaritas going. I’ll usually have one. I have a few there and later go to my room. I was at a retirement event last Friday that had a bar. I had coffee. Driving at night is a challenge anyway we these awful headlights they have on vehicles. I don’t have what ever condition that plague many members of my family who turn alcoholics. I can do without and often do.

Purolator 1 is a great filter, I get mine on amazon. Check your spark plug wire carefully going to that cylinder and be sure it is pushed on securely to the plug.

Got any pick and pull yards near by? That's going to be your only option for a full harness. Or, restring the affected circuits with new wire. Or junk the truck. Also, its not "young", its 8 years old. They can't make full chassis harnesses like that forever... Heck, they've already started discontinuing some items for 2019 new style trucks. We can't get a door harness anymore for one that has an intermittent window inop problem. GMPartsDirect is run by a GM dealership franchise. Flow Chevrolet. Its pulling from their inventory, unless its somehow also tied to OEC. More than likely though, a parts associate there ran the number through GM PWB or OEC to see no inventory.
