    How did you get your screen name?

    My first name is Mike, I'm 1/2 ape, 1/2 man. Sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes it's a curse, and YES, I am going to go see Caesar kick ass in Rise of The Planet of The Apes.

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Well, picked up the truck tonight. Dealer drove for 12 miles on the highway, couldn't replicate anything. They scanned everything from soup to nuts and found no codes, and I did tell them that I had disco'd the battery, and that might have caused codes to clear. The dealership did acknowledge...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Not really an update, since the vehicle didn't go to the dealer yet, but during a quick run for milk this morning the passenger a/c vents are blowing ice cold. This is after the truck sat all day yesterday. Now I am really starting to believe this is either all related to the cluster, or...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Will do. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I don't mind dropping the truck again. I know that not everything can be foreseen, or prevented. If this is simply a case of a bad part, I won't fault the dealership for that. (I think that line even came out of my mouth when I made the...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    You're right, I shouldn't be calling them a stealership in this instance, since no dollars have left my pocket. I'll put my past experience having work done at dealerships aside for the time being. I did let them know that I am having these issues before posting here. The appointment was...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    It's not under warranty, I should have been more specific there. The cluster was replaced under the Special Coverage / Class Action Suit thing for the stepper motors. This is why I'm asking if the cluster could be causing other issues. If they replaced the cluster, and that's causing issues...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Okay did that last night before a ride. I guess I didn't think of it before because I would have thought it'd be SOP for the stealership to have disconnected the battery before doing any work. The cluster seems to be fine after doing that....but now I've got only hot air blowing out the...

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Thought about that not long after I posted. I'll give that a shot tonight and see if that does anything.

    Cluster Replaced...now truck's got gremlins!

    Had my cluster replaced in my 2005 Tahoe last week under warranty because the speedo gave up the ghost. Gotta say that the dealership was actually pretty good about doing the replacement, no charge out the door. A week later, I go to start the truck and it won't turn over at all. I figured...

    anyone have these?

    I have to admit, I kind of like these. I'm just curious how the cutoff on them is, as I'm pretty happy with the cutoff on my Depo's...but part of me misses the CCFL halo's (had them on my Jeep).

    Anyone use these halo projectors?

    IMO, if you're going to go with Halo's, replace the LED halo's with CCFL's. Much brighter, longer lasting.

    Headlight help

    I have that gap too (stock grille, Depo lights) and it bothers the hell out of me. I was out there the other day looking at it and the only idea I came up with was maybe doing Audi-type DRL's on the bottom of the lights. I found a few sites that sold LED strips, figured I could wire them into...

    This guy wraped his car for $120....

    I keep looking at this and the getaway scene from Johnny Dangerously with the shelf paper is playing over and over in my head....

    Who's got the Viper Smart Start?

    To be clear, jailbreaking and unlocking are two entirely different things. Jailbreaking will allow 3rd party apps, that's all. Unlocking is what would allow you to go to another carrier. The FCC Ruling was about jailbreaking specifically. It did not change the "legality" of unlocking a...

    Dual Battery, Under the hood... For OFFROAD

    Didn't the 2nd battery go back by the passenger side firewall? I know some guys have relocated their jacks there, but it looks to me like a battery would fit.
