We live in Franklin, Williamson County. Public schools are great, highly regarded. But land is expensive. I have seen residential land go for $1M per acre. I haven't looked at acreage in 5 years (gave up dream of mini farm), but our 2800 sq st house on exactly an acre went for $405000 5 years ago. Nice, quiet, out of city limits subdivision.

 

However, we have great interstate system that is well-maintained in Tennessee. Other states, not so much. Williamson County also has easy access to I-40, I-65, and I-24. Also, State Highway 840 is a 4 lane road completed on Nov 2nd, and bypasses Nashville completely, running through Williamson County.

 

I grew up in West Tennessee, which is a bit flatter with more crop land, hunting, and duck wetlands. However, unemployment is around 10% in many counties. But I could take the $405000 I used to buy a house, and buy 100 acres or more, probably with a house. At least the last time I looked.

 

Having lived in West TN for 24 years, Middle TN for 16 years, I think I'd like East TN more. Smoky Mountains, rural, etc. That area just calls my soul. However, the in-laws and sister-in-law is here in Middle TN, so I've learned to love it.

 

Lots of opportunity in Nashville area. Many colleges, universities, and trade schools. Many large hospitals, one academic hospital (Vanderbilt), two children's hospitals, 3 Level I Neonatal ICU's, pro football/hockey, Nashville SuperSpeedway, AAA baseball, Parthenon, and all of Music City's delights. Lots of industrial parts of town, as well as engineering, architectural, and professional opportunities. I can almost see Nissan's headquarters (BEAUTIFUL building) from my home, and Nissan's Smyrna plant is about 30 min away. Even with all that, farming is still alive and well, too.

 

I guess I love my home state.

This no different to what Ed Roth was doing in the 60's. Art is art. There is no "ugly" or "bad" art. I just don't understand why people care enough about an inanimate object to form an emotional feeling about it. Personally, I wouldn't do what the owner of the car had done. It would be nice though to have the money to be able to do that to a new vehicle.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
