    I feel like I'm on a subscription to heated seat controls

    Ok so I noted a bit of corrosion one one of the PCB components. But anyways, new DDM seems to have it all sorted Programming not needed when matching pedals, folding mirrors, etc

    Finally got a gap in the rain Yeesh Anyways, harness between door and body looks in good condition. No chafing of wires or moisture ingress

    I feel like I'm on a subscription to heated seat controls

    The wires in the door or the little rubber encased dingus bit that goes between door and body? I didn't trace everything through the door, but what I could easily see and access looked OK. I'm a little skittish with the rubber encased bit going between door and body (I can never get those...

    I feel like I'm on a subscription to heated seat controls

    Cleaning grounds didn't get me anywhere Had a spare seat heater switch I tossed in. Improved, but not solved. So I'd be what... Turning my attention to the master window switch as a potentially 2-factor contribution to this? Some poking around led me down a rabbit hole if maybe it would...

    No kidding? That's wild. I'll definitely check that! Once uhh.... It's not absolutely pouring rain. Ack!

    I feel like I'm on a subscription to heated seat controls

    Ok so.... The seat / pedal controls on the door? I don't seem to get along with. Works fine for a year or 2, then roll into winter and it just goes stupid and stays stupid. I've tracked it down to moisture and humidity. Seems like rain, humidity, cold weather causes the thing to start...

    Aftermarket Intake trouble shooting MPG

    Not sure if your rig has the 'gallons used' counter on the DIC. Mine has it, it's been accurate for me within 5% As far as filling consistently, see if you can find a spot that has you aimed slightly nose-down. The fill neck is on the rear of the tank. Will reduce any air lock in the tank...

    Leaking transmission cooler lines

    Honestly they're not too bad to change. It's like an hour to hour and a half job. Most of which is spent cursing at either the clips or trying to thread the line out the front 2 things of note: 1. Replace the fittings too 2. They'll probably get bent a little bit on install trying to thread...

    Crank, no start on first attempt randomly

    What happens if you cycle the key to run for a second, off, then try to start again? Mine does something similar-ish on a warm start at times. Though it needs a longer crank. But in my case, it's pretty much textbook fuel pump anti drain back valve. Or perhaps an injector weeping a bit while...

    Oil Pump Compatibility

    For sure I look at it like this: If you're at a point where you can decide on minor stuff like the care and feeding of your filter, you're doing pretty darn good! Take care of your ride, and it'll take care of you.

    Oil Pump Compatibility

    If that works for you, go for it! But also how dare you assume I don't change my oil in a bog. Maybe I have! Maybe I like to change mine in a sandstorm (dododododo) because it knocks the sun glare down

    Oil Pump Compatibility

    Nah not usually. There's a risk of getting grit/debris in there when filling it since you're pouring from the post-filter side Instead, turn the igntion to 'on', wait wait for the DIC to boot up, floor the accelerator for a second or 2, and while keep it it fully depressed, crank the engine...

    Immobilizer? Bypass? How safe are these ignitions?

    Yeah I don't keep anything of any value in my car I have like.... A dog leash, phone charger, jumper cables, and a couple blankets Hell I don't even lock my car. The damage due to forced entry would exceed anything of value that would be taken. Didn't stop some dingus from goobering up my...

    Immobilizer? Bypass? How safe are these ignitions?

    Nice So while the thing is far from impossible to steal, it's fiddly and would more be something targeted than standard car prowling, is my understanding is correct?

    Immobilizer? Bypass? How safe are these ignitions?

    05 Tahoe I'm curious how theft resistant these things are. I.e. can someone break the tabs on the ignition and start it with a screwdriver? Break the wheel lock, connect power, and not wire it? Etc

    Oil Pump Compatibility

    Oh yeah... Because I realize saying that "it's fine" to run a high pressure pump without any data is anecdotal at best and misleading at worst... Have an oil test from my rig. Melling m295hv pump w/ the high pressure spring. I don't remember exactly which spring I used.. I could dig it up if...

    Aftermarket Intake trouble shooting MPG

    Damn that is some impressive low level control you have on that I guess the easiest thing to differentiate hardware from software at this point would be to load up the stock tune for a tank and see where things land

    2005 Suburban A/C issue

    Can be difficult to describe, eh? Hot air as in no ac != hot air as in heat When it acts up, pop the hood and see if the compressor is engaged - it has a clutch. If it's on, you'll see the front of it spinning. If not, then it'll just sort of freewheel like a bicycle. Belt is moving, but the...

    Aftermarket Intake trouble shooting MPG

    Notable issues I've seen from aftermarket intakes, in no particular order: - They remove the resonators present in the OE intake tube - Stock intake is already cold air. Pulls air from the wheel well. Depending on how it's routed and where it's located, it could be sucking hot engine air - If...

    Oil leak but I don't know what the thing is called.

    Stock gasket is a metal crush gasket *use a torque wrench*

    Copper Clad Aluminum wire on an auxiliary battery installation

    Nope don't touch it Stuff isn't suited for under hood use. Copper + aluminum react via galvanic corrosion. You also can't solder it, which means you need a crimper. And, politely, a bench vice doesn't count! Use marine grade wire - tinned copper. It'll hold up to the chemical/moisture exposure...
