Be glad it was just a ding. My dealership just about totaled mine when it was in for the 4th or 5th warranty brake job, and to fix interior squeaks and rattles for about the same time.

 

Their lot tech drove it into the bay, and crushed the passenger side from bumper to bumper. I only found out about it after not hearing from the dealership for an entire day. I called, and asked, "Why is it taking so long for a damn brake job?" She says, "Oh, they didn't tell you?" .....

 

OMf'nG .... :banghead:

 

To top it all off, when I got the truck back, I parked it in the sun when I got home, and it looked like a 3D movie! Swirl marks jumping out all over. Had to bring it back and have someone with a clue buff it out. Never seen anything so bad in my friggin life!!

What is the highest mileage car/truck you have owned? It really isn't that scary. Edited by SnakeEyes

That I have personally owned would have been my 2000 impala I bought back in 04. I sold it with 115K i think. My truck is second at 89K (owned for 9.5 yrs).

My truck would probably be at the same mileage if it wasn't in and out of the body shop for the past 3 months

I still have my idatalink, I would have let it go for cheap.

If i knew that 3 weeks ago it would have saved a few bucks on this birthday install. Was it the Rr?

 

Also im having an odd overheat issue. Havent got it above 236 yet. Gets hot with grille assembly on, take the entire assembly off and everything runs like normal

Yes. No one here ever responded to the ad, I kind of forgot I still had it until I read your post.

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
