I finally pulled the trigger on getting this fixed. My local third-party shop was able to find a used cluster for $70 and installed it for a little over $100. I know it would have been an easy swap to do myself, but I was hoping they would find something else as opposed to just replacing the...

Agreed. I read something at least a year ago saying how it was becoming difficult for Intel to maintain it's track according to Mr. Moore's predictions. I don't blame them! I haven't heard of Max-Q or Optane, but I just looked them up. Sucks for me - Optane requires the Z270 chipset and a 7th...

Yeah, I know, right!? I picked up a third 980Ti for another PC literally a month before the 10x series was released, but I guess that was my fault for not keeping up with the times. Building a new PC always seems like a gamble these days. My last build lasted about 4 years until I was tired of...

Big PC gamer here. 100+ games on Steam and a big Diablo 2 enthusiast like OP. I'm a fan of AAA titles like Skyrim, Fallout, Tomb Raider, but I've actually had more enjoyment from smaller titles. I highly recommend anyone into PC gaming to check out these games on Steam. These are all games I...

Thanks Troymclure. I still haven't taken it into the 3rd party shop yet as it hasn't been a huge priority of mine to get fixed. My vehicle registration is due in about 2 weeks and I'm hoping that this won't affect the smog check. The wheel speed sensors is a good suggestion - but I'm not...

So I'm starting to look into fixing this. I read somewhere on this forum that you should be able to take a used cluster from ebay and your existing broken cluster to the dealership and they would be able to reprogram it... That is not the case at my local dealership. They told me the new part...

My gauge cluster on my 2005 v8 Sport Edition started glitching last week. The issue has become progressively worse. The speedo/tach needles would first twitch and get stuck after starting the engine. Now, The needles are just stuck where they are and the odometer doesn't show anything either...

Right! By Big O Tires I hoped to imply that they're usually a bunch of teenagers/young adults...which in my case it was. The place has one of the best alignment machine setups available (according to the manager). The tech said he adjusted it to "stock" settings but was unable to provide a...

Everything's finished! It wasn't too difficult of a job to complete... and the rear was very easy. I did the spacers + Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks in the front (set to 0" lift) and the regular 5100's in the rear. The ride is amazing. Feels like I'm on a cloud. The rear feels a bit stiff...

Looking forward to it! Been a week since I ordered the shocks from allprooffroad.com and they haven't shipped out yet. Called them today and they said they had a computer failure on Monday, and it should ship out today. However, after asking to have the package expedited, they said I will have...

I ended up going with the Bilstein 5100's all around. I purchased them from allprooffroad.com. They had a great price just like another member said... and on top of that, there was a 5% off coupon floating around out there: 5-OFFCOUPON New shocks on the way for under 4 bills!! Anybody have...

Yeah, shortly after posting I realized that is not an option since each rear shock is linked to the front. The first link you posted was my initial resource in this project, but I haven't searched it for information about XREAS. I'll check it out.

Yes, 3 inches in the front and 2 in the rear is correct. Definitely planning on the alignment.. thanks!

Thanks for the link! I was very surprised on the price. I was expecting to dump $1500 into fixing my mistakes... And if anybody has input on this, that'd be great. I am new to suspension if you couldn't tell already :boom: Since I already have the ToyTec 3"/2" lift spacer kit do you guys...

Any ramifications on just swapping out the front shocks with some aftermarket ones, and using the shims I already purchased to lift up the rear, keeping the stock system in the rear? The most obvious would be total rear XREAS failure since the front-opposite sided XREAS counterparts would be...
