This is one of the reasons i have 2 cars. Living in houston their is no way im riding around without ac. Specially since our traffic can be so bad.

Oreilly auto has murray condensers which would probably be just as good as a delco. I know people want the dealer to do it but if you cant get parts maybe its an alternative? and they show them for 147 dollars not 300. Murray makes a lot of a/c components so if your a diy person id go with that.

What about putting an after market on it like a murray part? oreilly has them in stock; murray specialises in tons of a/c components. The only problem would be the dealer wouldnt put it on for you. I have used murray ac stuff and they are good quality.

the flashing check engine light isnt a "keep on driving and dont worry about it" it means stop now.

1300 to replace the condensor and recharge the system. pure highway robbery. gas is only about 8 dollars a can, and i bet they dont even pay that much buying in bulk.

yup yup and yup. paint quality had been getting better now its gone over the cliff. from a stand point of UV and fading its pretty good now but has no scratch and chip durability what so ever. Its kind of like oil based house paint is still better than all the new stuff. The other issue is they are using less and less paint making the coats as thin as possible to save money. the problem with the EPA they base their decisions on junk and biased science.

Why do you need to stare at the screen while driving when it annouces where to turn and such? I have an iphone and i just lay in the passenger seat and let it do its thing and it anouces where to turn over the stereo. Though i never have understood people who have fancy cars and dont use the bluetooth integration. yes those mounts people use are tacky looking but i see no reason to need one. I get a laugh out of looking over at people holding their phone up to their ear driving a 70,000 dollar bmw or mercedes when my 23,000 dollar camry has bluetooth.

I have a whole 15,500 on my 2014.lol my 2000 had 195,000 when it got wrecked though.

The reason the dealer cant fix most things is because they dont know how to troubleshoot. They plug your vehicle in to the computer and if it cant tell them whats wrong they have no idea what to do. Specially if its not thorwing codes. That is the main fault of these newer machanics these days.

You could put a star washer under it to help it bite into the metal better giving it even better contact.

I am always amazed people will spend money on those plates. Our registration and inspection is about 100 bucks a year in texas by the time your done. Add another 100 a year for custom plates...no thanks.lol

Yup mines got stripes all factory. 2014 silverado rally. I havent seen many with stripes down the side though. Kinda hard to see the ones on the side in the pics.

you can export them as mp3. I though about doing this once but decided it was to much of a hassle if i added songs since i have 2 cars.

I usually find one or two really tight and the others not even close to the right spec. So basically they are all tighened up wrong. You can over tighten anything with torque limiting device if used improperly though.

I ALWAYS use a torque wrench on mine. Specially after its been to the dealer or the tire shop and they messed with them. I always find them torqued unevenly. On my 2000 sierra i kept having warped rotors from just guessing. After i replaced the rotors and used a torque wrench all of those issues went away. If you want a good torque wrench that isnt crazy money look into CDI Torque Products they make them for snapon at half the cost.I also have a huskey which i use often. Stay away from harbor frieght stuff. If it didnt need to be torqued to some specified requirement they wouldnt go to the trouble to list it. And your impact gun isnt going to cut it. Those just lead to over and uneven tightening, stripped threads, snapped off studs. I do use a very long bar to loosen them though. I have a bad back so i need the extra leverage to undo them. Never had a stripped,broken, or loose lug nut ever after buying and using the right tools. I know others will say its not needed but thats what I do. on a 2000+ 1500 truck its 140ft/lbs im sure its different on the heavy duty.
