i never worked at DQ! My first job was menards damn 2.5 yrs and im still there.
ALso anyone have squeeking brakes after they wash their truck? Everytime i wash my truck i get in to move it and i get the loudest squeel when applying them.
Dean if going to hawaii apply me getting on a plane that will never happen
What in the heck. You are in hawaii and you have to fly to hawaii??? hmmm something sounds wierd is it really that spread out? Guess im living in a box or something
I think ill go to chicago this afternoon im gonna hop a flight (from work i can throw a rock and hit the sears tower) after lunch.
My daughters boyfriend is still madd at me for selling the Z71. The other night he and his friends went "mudd'n" and all 4 of them got stuck. Since they knew of no one else who owned a truck and were all afraid of calling their parents they called me. Yep, you guessed it, I had to use the Lexus LS400 to pull those boys out!! I had to use five 75' straps connected together to reach a truck so that I could remain on a partial dirt/old pavement road. Once I got one out he did the rest. I'll never let them hear the end of it now!!
I wouldnt let ya hear the end of it either. A lexus come on man. Its a nice vehicle but wouldnt you like to be out with them mudding? Does you daughter have a truck?
I wouldnt be able to call my dad if i got stuck that 2wd S-10 would be no help.
Is it normal for the light to come on only briefly and then shut off? This is the first time it has come on. How do you reset it?
Obyone - did you ever get the rear quarters replaced? My dealer has the drivers side in stock but is waiting for the passenger side to arrive. He said he verified the part #s with the new TSB.
I've had the intermediate shaft replaced on my '00 Chevy on two occasions for the rattle/clunk. Both times the part # was 26083324. I have a friend with a '99 GMC getting the shaft update. The part # he gave me was 26085548. Are the part #s for GMC and Chevy the same or did they come out with a newer version of the shaft? Thanks
The oil light normally comes on and then goes off. It becomes more persistent until you reset it.
Your manual covers resetting the light, by basically you turn the key on but don't start the engine. Wait until the dash is done self-testing, then push the throttle to the floor 3 times in 5 seconds or 5 times in 3 seconds. Anyway, when it accepts your reset command it will flash the oil light and then reset.
The squeal when wet comes from the fact that the pads aren't seating on a smooth rotor surface, and with water in between the pad and rotor, it has to squeeze out before they get some bite. Sounds like ya'll been hard on your brakes awhile back. If the rotors have bright spots with streeks, it is a sign of heavy braking that develops hot spots and an uneven surface that is not smooth any more. So the pads skip across the rotor until they get hot enough to bite into that uneveness. Dean is right about the rental truck in CA. I rented one for a week in Chicago and the brakes felt like a bag of dog do-do. After driving around for that time, about 300 miles, and concentrating on the brakes using moderate pressure and anticipating stops ahead of time, they started to come back to where they felt like they would stop good and have a firm pedal. The rotors were still streeked but not as badly. Refer to page 2-14 in the owner's manual. matthew
yep a few times now i have had to brake very hard. Once i got lucky and the abs saved me. Just this morniong i had to slam on em cause a damn semi cut me off.
from business trip in Dallas...got my Resistol hat reblocked...been driving a S10 Blazer all week...suffering from 'rado withdrawal symptoms...gotta go drive my truck immediately...actually my daughters want me to play taxi...catch ya'll during the weekend...Oby, have a great vacation and don't beat up too much on Woods...LOL Matthew

I had a test drive with tech last week Thursday and we were talking about the windows. He told me that he was glad he didn't have to look it up as it would have taken forever to find the new TSB ending with an "A". He did say the part nos. are different than the original TSB not confirming whether they are made of metal or plastic but just that they are different. I am awaiting delivery of mine also. They said to figure on the truck being out of commission for at least two days since it has to go to a body shop to perform the TSB.

Since you're in college you may want to take another geography course. If I didn't fly, taking a boat would've taken forever to get to the other island. I know the rado is a good truck, but it doesn't stand a chance against the Pacific Ocean.
they are vent shades i think thats the brand. I like em alot
You cant really tell but from the side you can see em sticking out right dean???
GEOGRAPHY CLASS? Havent had one of those since 9th grade. I was just being funny to me taking a vacation to hawaii when you live in hawaii is kinda awkward. How was your trip?
island chain is called Hawaii. Great trip. Waaay to short. Not enough golf, too much drinking... Each island in the chain has it's own uniqueness. Making for difficult choices at times as to which one to visit and the golf courses are awesome.
You bought ventshades, the one's with the 3m tape? Tell me you didn't buy the one's with the tape.
2 Ferds (1996 & 1998), both 3/4 ton 4x4, 1 Chevy (2000) 1/2 ton, 4x4 and a 1999 GMC 1/2 ton 2x4 (boyfriends truck). No, my daughter does not have a vehicle yet, she's saving to buy it this summer. Her intension is to buy a truck, she can't decide on a 97 Ferd or a 97 Cheby, but she does want 4x4, no xcab (as late model as she can afford). Her boyfriend is going to trade in for a Cheby/GMC 4x4, 3/4 ton, duramax, xcab (his 99 is paid for (Mom)).
the bfs mom paid for the truck? That must be nice. Only thing my mom paid for was the nerf bars cause she felt i got em because of her haha.
My gf wants a sebring. I think i have a yr or 2 to change her mind. She keeps on hinting she wants to drive my truck. SHould i let her guys? Not far but like around the block?
yea my truck is scarred for life already. She has no tickets. Only hit 1 car and that was because it was icy out and she slid into her neighbors when pulling in her driveway.
