  1. Any updates from those who've installed theirs? Spring's coming and I want to get mine in soon. Truck seems to be stable and shouldn't have to bring it in for anything, so hopefully this will be a one and done install for me. I'm in the habit of hitting L9 now, but if I ever loan the truck to my son he won't be.
  2. Our dogs don't like them much either. A few years back our daughter's was chirping, driving her dog nuts so my wife and I drove over in a blinding snow storm at night to bring fix it. It was up high and she had no ladder. On the way home I slid out on a roundabout and did about $7K damage to our Highlander, none of it body damage. Sold it about a year and a half later so I could get into a proper 4WD again.
  3. Ah, sorry. Didn't notice you were running the diesel
  4. P0087 Fuel Rail/System Pressure – Too Low Are you sure the shudder isn't your DFM kicking on and off?
  5. Genuine GM Factory fender flares for 2020-2025 Silverado. New in box, never mounted. Includes 4 Flares, mounting hardware and instructions. Opened box to inspect. Decided they were not what I was after for my truck. The pictures below are not of my truck and are there only to show fitment. Printed factory instructions and all hardware included. These were $449 at the dealership in June of 2023. Not sure of the price now. Because of the cost of shipping these I will split the cost to ground ship them to the CONUS. Or if within a reasonable distance I can meet up to deliver. $245, PPF&F or postal money order. Thank you for looking.
  6. Yes, and found my answer quickly. But I wanted a comprehensive codes for other times.
  7. I have an OBDLink MX scan tool and I'm wondering if it would be possible to cast the bluetooth readout from the phone to the infotainment screen. Anyone done this, with this or another bluetooth OBD scan tool?
  8. We try as parents to raise them the same. But being individuals, our kids grow into different beings. The consistent parenting works for some children, not so much for others. Some are happy, some not. Some responsible, some not. What most of them will fail to grasp, until they are walking in our shoes with their own kids is that it is us who continue to bear the burdens, emotionally above all else, of their decisions in life. We are fortunate in having raised two kids who are both hard-working and responsible. Both nearing 30 now and, both as yet, single. Don't know if I'll live long enough to see grandkids, I was nearly 40 when our first was born, but I am very thankful that we are blessed on the scale of results of parenting. If we had raised three, who knows how the third one would have turned out.
  9. Thanks for that. It does include the code I'm seeing, which is P059F. I had it into the dealer once a year ago last Fall and they cycled the shutters and cleared the code. It came back once last Winter and cleared itself. It was on again this week and didn't seem to want to self correct, so I cleared it myself. But I do like to have a lookup for the codes. The shutters on my truck appear to be quite temperature sensitive, and won't always close as expected when it gets cold-ish outside.
  10. I've looked around on the interwebs for a list of the fault codes for my truck (and others of course), but can't seem to find a comprehensive list. Is that something that is available to the general public.
  11. You guys got to ride a bus? Not us. Walked to school rain or shine. Snow or not. For many years. I didn't get to ride a bus until high school.
  12. I can confirm that now
  13. After using the truck a few times with this USB drive inserted I have to say that I like it a lot. Seamless. The song being played is displayed correctly on both the center cluster and the infotainment screen, unlike when I used the music on my phone following the recall update. The power is a bit anemic since there's no preamp to add to the input as there is on my phone, but with just a little extra volume twisted it sounds just fine to these old ears. I did try to plug the drive into one of the rear ports, but it was not seen as an input type so I'm limited to keeping it in the front port. Not a big deal since I keep the jump seat down and nobody rides in the center so there's little risk the drive will get sheared off my a knee or foot. All in all, it saves battery on my phone and integrates into the infotainment system nicely.
  14. Still, it's better than getting beat over the head for a TV at Walmart!
  15. Well, I did That's what this thread is about. Haven't driven the truck since I did the swap but I have little doubt it will block out other vehicles' exhaust smell much better now.
  16. Got tired of waiting on the Samsung drive I ordered, and was delayed in shipping, so I picked up a PNY drive today at Staples. $20 for a 128gb mouse transceiver sized thumb drive. As it happens it was already formatted in FAT32. Copied all of my music onto it and plugged it into the truck. Works like a charm. I have about 3K tracks on it, divided into artist and then album directories so there aren't any more than three levels to get to each song. The metadata shows up on the infotainment screen and the music keeps up on it as well as the dash display as the songs cycle. The complete indexing only took a few minutes to finish. Success!
  17. Received the filter, it was a perfect fit size-wise. Haven't driven the truck yet but given that it was twice the weight of the stock filter as well as being much more substantial in apparent filtration material I have no doubt it's going to be a big improvement. The stock filter was little more than pleated paper. Might have blocked dust but I don't see how it could filter any odors or even pollen. Thank you for the tip!
  18. Still waiting on my new thumb drive. But I plugged in a micro sd card in a reader today and noticed that even with the truck off (and the door had been opened), the blue light on the reader was still lit. I'm concerned about potential battery drain if I leave my new thumb drive plugged in all the time. Anyone had an issue with this happening, or any input toward my concern?
  19. We'll see. Mine is due to arrive Saturday. Any improvement would be welcome though.
  20. Don't use MAC, strictly on Windows. My current library is 99% lossless, so it takes much more space than mp3 files do. The one I put in to test was a Samsung 128gb micro sd in a reader. My library is multiple levels deep and the truck indexed it fine, or appeared to, I didn't spend a whole lot of time playing with it. What I've ordered now is indeed one of the very small drives that looks like the transceiver for a mouse. I figured it would be less likely to be bumped, or seen from the outside. I will post up with exactly what happens after I get the drive set up, how I set it up directory-wise, and how the truck handles it. My phone works fine but the Tunes page on the infotainment doesn't show the album art or much about the song other than the name. The truck's music player seemed to get and show all of that from the metadata in the file and the folder from which the song was pulled.
  21. I seem to recall seeing ports there in the back, but I can't say with certainty. I rarely have people back there and so what's back there is just not important to me. And I don't drive the truck everyday, or even every week so I'm not entirely familiar with its layout. But I think you're right about the front ports. I'm glad I got this to work. I ordered a small 128gb thumb drive this evening that will hold all of my music, which is a bit more than 64gb. I downloaded a program today that allows me to format a drive larger than 32gb in FAT32. The drive I tried in the truck today is also 128gb and formatted FAT32, but it's out of one of my MP3 players and I don't want to sacrifice it for the truck. I formatted it FAT32 some years back when my Windows version at the time would still run the Partiition Magic software that I have, which will format drives larger than 32gb in FAT32. My Windows 11 won't let that software run. And of course Windows will not format anything larger than 32gb in that partition type. So, as soon as my new drive gets here and I get it set up I'll be able to just leave the drive in the truck and not use bluetooth with my phone for tunes. I'm also curious to find out if the currently playing song will update properly on the dash panel with a usb stick. That stopped working from my phone after the recall OTA update I let them do. I figured out a work-around but it involves pushing the power button 3 times and then having to turn the infotainment screen off again afterwards. All just to find out what is currently playing if I don't already know.
  22. That was it, thank you! Put in a correctly formatted card and it indexed the music and played correctly.
  23. That just might be it. I'll see if I have a spare drive I can format and try. Thanks!
  24. Only these, unless there's more in the back. Never looked. But even if, these should be for power and data, if my trim level has data ports. Thanks.
