I’ve read many posts about the plastic trim between the screen and HVAC controls (the one with the ugly wood trim piece on top) squeaking. Mine does as temperatures

change or as bumps move it slightly. I’ve had it off twice to try to fix it but it’s literally two pieces of plastic riveted together. I don’t see a way to fix it. I wrapped the HVAC control panel edges in electrical tape but that isn’t the problem. I can just push on that wood trim piece and hear the squeaks. I know others have this. Anyone found a fix?  I even looked for an aftermaket

piece like with carbon fiber or such and they do exist… however, are covers that you tape to the existing trim piece. That’s probably just something else that would squeak!

I also have the rattle in that area and now a new place that seems to be around the steering wheel area. I have tried changing the steering wheel positions to see if it will stop but it doesn't seem to help. IMO, this 2023 truck has been a rattle can from since I got it so disappointing. My 22 limited didn't have any of these issues.

Wow mine is not as bad as that video. That sounds pretty constant. Mine comes from impacts of the road. As the plastic pieces of the trim and and screen flex from impact, I get squeaks. I’m not sure there is a fix as you can just touch these parts and it squeaks.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.

      Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
