Those strips are ONE PIECE from front windshield to rear glass. I've ordered replacement strips...one came damaged. They bend easily. The ends snap on. I think you'll damage it if you pull it off. It's very thin metal with a coating of plastic/vinyl. The metal is c-shaped, with a flare. As...

Yeah, that sucks. Since you already took ownership of it...you do own it. Name the dealer. I don't think anyone would be happy with a new vehicle with those issues. Some states have laws that allow a return, with full refund, of a purchased vehicle within a narrow timeframe after buying it...

Nicely done. Of course...why couldn't the dealership figure that out??? What does it take to program the module? Is this something the dealership has to do, or can you do it?

Could be because the recall doesn't go "live" until October 3rd? Or, just some vehicles are affected by it. If the latter, then what is the determining factor between affected and unaffected? (Meantime, this would be my first dealer flash/recall since I got my GDE tune. I'll have to verify...

I have a PPE (Pacific Power Engineering?) pan. Somewhere I posted about installing it. I'll edit this if I find the thread and link it. Aluminum.

This has been my experienced, too. GDE tune (listed as an option, that I wanted) shows me the regen message. I never saw it before.

What are your thoughts about the install and how they function?

My opinion: once you stop the water intrusion, the mold will die. A simple carpet cleaning/vacuum (with a cleaning spray?) should remove the remnants. If you, or anyone who may be in your truck, has mold sensitivity, then a bit more would be need to be done. I'd go to the dealer with your...

Good news: about 1,400 miles of driving and no leaking or seeping. Call this one put to bed. ;) (It's just a bonus I swapped fluid 3 times.)

I sent a thread link to PPE's customer service. I never got word back from them. ;) Maybe they read it and are making a change? Regardless, glad to hear you got what is needed to do a pan swap.

I just did the third drain, so that I could swap out the o-ring on the drain plug. (Drain 1 was the pan swap. Drain 2 was the leaking gasket that I re-used...due to the instructions. Sigh. I used a new o-ring then, a brown viton one. and that leaks.) Drain resulted in 4 1/2 quarts coming out...

I bought one of these for my son's 2022 EcoDiesel. He's got ~48,000 miles on it. It threw a CEL. I pulled codes and...there were a bunch. A lot of body codes, two powertrain. Between the powertrain warranty and the aftermarket one I bought from Granger...no charge for anything. @Granger, Thanks!

It's your trucks attempt to stay forever young. Ish. Congrats on that! Seriously...speaks to your skills to have ANY vehicle last that long. And, of course, the basic design and build has a large measure of credit, too.

I drove it onto 4 ramps. I did not use a laser level. I did not use a digital level. I did not use my Stabila levels. It's a truck. It's oil. It sits in a pan. Level just means nothing weird, not a precise 0.00^ to an infinite plane in both directions. As long as there's sufficient fluid to...

The ZF recommendation: I've seen a wide variety of mileage. That makes sense, since this transmission is the basis for so many different installs and is used across such a wide spectrum of use cases. 60,000 seems to be good mark. I have a bias (unscientific) that my vehicles like early fluid...

Thanks. If I'd put the Viton O-ring onto the PPE drain plug, I'd be done. Instead, I've got a leaking PPE O-ring (<-maybe THAT'S why they don't ship gaskets with the pan???) that I need to replace. If I ever do another PPE pan swap...I'll put that replacement O-ring on, first. My thoughts on...

I swapped in a PPE transmission pan. See my thread: My PPE transmission pan: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

My PPE review: The pan is a definite upgrade to the OEM. It holds more, it has cooling capability (aluminum with fins) and will make future filter swaps MUCH less expensive. A filter costs $30, a drain O-ring is $6, and a gasket (from KLM) is $27.50. Fluid cost would be the same (okay, add a...

Refilling a ZF8... This is not rocket science. Step 1: Fill until it dribbles from fill port. 2: Loosely install fill plug. 3: Start vehicle. Run through reverse, 1st, 2nd, and then 2,000 rpm. Hold each for 5-10 seconds. (Some vehicles say the wheels should rotate. Shrug.) 4: With engine...

Pan swap The ZF8 drain and fill (obviously needed, and desired, for a pan swap) is not too complex despite what you read. The main issue is a tight temperature range to start and finish the fluid fill. The goal is to keep it between 30C and 50C (<- from memory, don't base YOUR drain and fill on...
