Today I did 6 cluster repair including an Impala . What a bitch to pull away from the car.

Devo! That was friggin' great! Been a while since I've heard that tune. :thumbs:

 

I remember the first time I saw the video for that on MTV - back when they used to play MUSIC VIDEOS ... imagine that ... anyway, my ol' man walks in, watches them jamming with the flower pots on their heads, then he turns and walks away, shaking his head & muttering obscenities under his breath, HAHAHA!

 

Good ol' days. :lol:

Installed a Magnaflow 13219 in place of my rusted out Flowmaster 70 series big block muffler that rusted out. Also installed a new windshield. Now I can see when driving into the early morning and late afternoon sun.

Got tired of driving a loaner for almost 2 weeks, Tuesday would have been 2, so I went to the dealer and told them I wanted my truck back. They hadn't done anything with it because they were so backlogged. Didn't even move it. Plus the loaner had the same problem of being out of a balance as my truck so I might as well put up with that crap in my own vehicle instead of a tiny traverse.

 

Friend mentioned on FB that he wanted an oversized tire for exercise so I asked a friend's mom and she had a few. Took him out to pick it up. I got tired just watching him dig it out from underneath larger tractor tires still on the rims and then rolling it into the back of the truck. Got my exercise for the day lolbf665c79f3fbdc646cfb67b49dddce31.jpg

Took it for a ride to get togetherb with family in town for a wedding. On the way home, I started her up and the 8" screen was blank. Thev radio played fine, and the wheel controls worked, but the audio controls would not work, and the display hung up for a sec going into reverse.

Yesterday, we went to a long-time friend's daughter's wedding, wife was the coordinator for the wedding and I was running sound. On the way home last night, early this morning, rolled over the 40K mark, right as I was passing the North Gate to Edwards AFB.

I can honestly say that I did not have a blank screen issue, but I did have it lockup with the radio screen on. And like yours, only the steering wheel controls worked for it, didn't even flip to the camera in R. After a mile or two, and getting fed up with it, I threw the transmission in N, shutoff the truck, restarted it, and everything was normal. Haven't had a problem since. Hopefully, it's just a "one-time glitch," like mine was.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
