Wanted to know of anyone has purchased and installed the Keyless Entry pad that lets you punch in a code and have the doors unlock.  Lets you lock your keys in the truck.  Its part No. 84182981 and is about $120 bucks.  Thats one feature i miss from my Ford was the ability to lock the keys in my truck while i go for a run, or bike or swim....

I had mine installed a week or so ago. Works good. We liked that feature from Ford's also. It was 145 plus an hour of labor to install while the dealership was installing my tow mirrors. They tried to charge 1.5 hrs@ $155/hr but they didn't give an estimate first and parts guy said an hr so they dropped.

I assume the keypad is battery powered?  Did they suggest to you how often to replace the batteries?

I had to drop off before they opened and picked up after service closed so I didn't get any information really. Just a card with instructions and the master code. I tried albeit not too hard to remove the shroud to see if it was battery powered and I couldn't get it off. Your local service or parts department can tell you much more. Sorry

Thanks for the reply.  Just ordered mine.  Looking forward to it.  Thats the one thing I miss most about my Ford.  That and the Key Fob letting me know if the truck actually started from the remote.  It had a feed back light that flashed green if it did start and red if it did not start, such as out of range or I didnt hit the buttons right.  I have already gone outside expecting a nice warm truck only to find I didnt hold the button long enough.

You can't replace the battery.  You have to replace the whole unit when it dies.  Awful.

Well yea, that is pretty crappy....  Darn.  Lets hope it at least lets you know when it is going to die before it actually gives up.

If you want to lock your keys in the truck you hold the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons at the same time for a sec or two. That'll lock the truck with the keys in it. Continued pressing of those two buttons will fold the side mirrors(if your truck has that feature).

 

I'm still not sure how, or if, you can change the code to a personalized one.

It sucks that it had to be programmed by dealer, how hard would it have been to make it self programmable like the key fob.  Pisses me off to pay dealer 1.5 hours to program this thing. They literally wait longer to get the reply find from gm then it takes then to hook up and program it

This is the instruction card that came with the keypad. The opposite side had the master code.

Bit of a Necrothread but does the Master code stop working after you program a personal code?  I just tried to set mine up, master code worked fine, so I tried setting a personal code.  I don't know if I didn't hit the buttons I thought I did (personally I think the split buttons 1/2, 3/4, etc. are easy to make a mistake on) but the code I thought I set does not work, and now neither does the master code.  Is this thing now just a brick?

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
