Lost satellite and AM/FM reception My Sirius reception had gotten progressively worse; worked with their phone techs, refreshed signal, unsubscribed, resubscribed, etc. They suggested going to the dealer saying the 'satellite module' is bad. I hadn't done anything for a couple weeks until...

Update on replaced transmission I have been off this forum for too long. Just felt like updating after having my transmission replaced at 67K miles, mileage is now 147K and the transmission drives and shifts smooth and proper. No issues. So glad I bought this truck 7 years ago. Maybe its...

I don't like the sunglass holder. My costas keep bouncing out. (Hey, you asked)

No. It really was a vibration of constant frequency that felt like going over evenly spaced ridges in the pavement--and it only occurred for a few seconds under the conditions previously described. I guess I do need to read the TSB; but this T-SB-0089-12 is what the tech used to justify the...

I haven't yet read the actual TSB but yes I think it is the 1-2 shift causing the shudder when the torque converter wasn't locking up properly. (I am reading more about it on the forum--3 years in here and I'm just now using the search feature. Seen many flamed for not, lol.) For me it was...

Yes that's it. Confirmed with my tech.

Here's the TSB: T-SB-0089-12

Remanufactured transmission installed at 67K miles. So in the last couple weeks I noticed a shudder or vibration, not unlike driving on a washboard road, while accelerating under slight load at around 1200 to 1500rpm. This coincided with my next scheduled service so I took it in to the dealer...

I went with 5100s all around, front setting @ .85 I am pleased. Most of the time the truck appears level to me, but depending on my cargo load or how I park, I may detect a slight rise in the front or a tiny dip to the rear. I haven't measured because I'm happy with it as is.

canvasback liner I did get a canvas back liner as was recommended here. It fits nicely on the rear floor, but I didn't install the rear seat protection because I have wet okole's covering the rear, which are neoprene and the Velcro fastener used on the canvas back doesn't adhere. Problem...

I hope so. . . I have trouble finding time for much beyond work and parenting lately.

Her name is BB. The snow is from a couple weeks ago prior to this heat wave.

Here she is. . .

I've got third row and use it frequently. It was a selling point for me--allowing me to get the mid-size SUV I wanted (4runner duh) that could haul my kids and gear, or some of their friends or cousins, on occasion. Plus I don't really get the advantage of the sliding tray and haven't heard...

Guess you got your BFG MT KMs, so good luck with them. But I will say I am pleased with my SAs so far after 6K miles.
