    reverse lights LED

    I went down the halogen to led conversion rabbit hole a while back. Did find some reverse and cargo led's that worked better than stock and fit as they should. Still wasn't quite bright enough, so I added one of these. It's plenty bright. Bright enough it turns off my neighbors dawn to dusk...

    Lifetime Tire Alignment at Firestone

    As stated above, the target of lifetime anything is to make sure you get you back in the door. Our roads here in my town are pretty much like Beirut. Over the years, I did tend to do more touch ups on alignments vs full adjustments(unless it's the first real alignment)

    Lifetime Tire Alignment at Firestone

    Most 19 and up 1500's need to have the steering angle/yaw rate sensor recalibrated after any steering adjustments. The 1/2 ton trucks technically do not have a traditional steering gearbox, but instead have a rack and pinion. They deff did not adjust toe it appears. Funny, that's about all...

    Update error code 20

    You don't happen to have a usb thumb drive plugged in somewhere for music do you? You could also try a factory reset on the unit itself and then try to apply the update when prompted. Did it happen to show what version number you were updating to?

    Active Grill Shutter Fuse?

    A corroded active air dam connector on the driver side of the air dam assembly is a very likely culprit. It's part of the same circuit. I'd check that for signs of water intrusion or corrosion and start there.

    Impact Driver? or Lug Wrench

    I keep a decent road kit in the toolbox and its mostly cordless for grunt work. Ran power to it and installed inverter on a remote switch. Threw in Milwaukee multi battery charger and a few other assorted necessary chargers. Factored in the switch so I can recharge on my long commute days...

    Rear window leak

    Rear window leak

    Mine just started leaking again around 8 months after rear glass replacement. I replaced the seal on CMSL with the typical seal others have used. Still leaks. Flowable silicone in corners and still leaks. Guess I'll clean the silicone out of corners and just lay a bead across the entire top...

    Mechanic Told Me Camber Isn’t Adjustable???

    As others have stated, front camber and caster is adjustable. Most shops just adjust the front toe and send it out the door. There are occasions where you may not have enough camber or caster adjustment via OEM eccentrics, but it's not overly common. My truck was an exception. It's had a few...
