The Honda's wipers were on as it went underwater.

Customer states: Check engine light is on.

The feller at Vice Grip Garage would not approve. 1) Pliers used instead of vice grip. 2) No go-handle on the batt-rey.

God bless him. This current Royals team is almost unwatchable! Seems like the good ol days of 2014-15 were 30 years ago. Nothing that a new owner, front office, coaching staff, roster, and farm system wouldn't seemingly fix, BEFORE they're worthy of a new stadium . . .

Be careful buying parts on Ebay or Amazon--depending on the seller/supplier, there have been tons of fake Chinese counterfeit parts sold there, especially filters and tuneup parts--the parts and boxes appear to be the real thing unless you hold the authentic part right next to it. I have not heard of any such problems with RockAuto, and parts stores (O'Reilly, Advance, AutoZone, etc.) and of course, your dealer service dept., should all be safe. Caveat emptor.

What works best on the relatively soft 'crystal' clear plastic headlight covers on the GMT-900s (2007-13 1500s)? Our 09's have really gotten scratched up and yellowed suddenly (automatic car washes?) over the last 3 years or so.

Either side is fairly easy on the dims (top bulbs), with the driver's side being easier than the passenger side. I had to remove the air filter box to access the passenger side headlight bulbs.

Top tip of the week:

WHO'S THERE? GM'S DOD/AFM/DFM, THAT'S WHO!

We had that phone! Used to call whatshername at 867-5309.

HDMI 1 and HDMI 2.

Probably bad brake light switch. Brakes can be fine, brake lights can be fine, but the brake light switch can still prevent the cruise control from engaging. Happened to me twice. Buy the GM replacement part.

THIS. Even for service. Our GM dealer gets $135 an hr for labor, double the price on parts, and $100 on shop fees on every visit. And apparently, they like to sit and think about working on it for half a day, with the clock running, before they do anything. In the old days, there was a multi-page invoice with activity breakdown by hours and parts with part numbers. Now there's one page with a big bottom line number and sign here to accept vehicle as is to release them from any future obligations, even if you drive it a block and it grenades because they forgot to put oil in it. New and improved GM process, they say.

If you're buying the oil in jugs instead of individual quarts, make sure they are 4 quart (gallon) jugs instead of 5 quart jugs. 2 x 5 qt jugs would of course be overfull. Local stores here sell both sizes, may depend on brand and viscosity.
