Exactly! After hearing stories about how even the Salvation Army has gone woke a few weeks ago, I made the easy decision to ignore the bell-ringer and head to the ASPCA booth right next to it. The ASPCA guys asked why I picked them over the bell-ringer, and I told him, "It's because people...

First road trip in the new Ram was to Oklahoma City to pick up these two from a ****er Spaniel Rescue about 5 weeks after I bought it. Odie on the left, Milo on the right. And yes, everything in this pic needs to be trimmed. I think they were distracted by a squirrel taunting them from the...

Thanks. Mine's just a little different than yours - A/C button's on the other side, for instance. I do use the hard buttons to change HVAC stuff exclusively as well, just when reaching for those switches on a less-than-perfect road (which are plentiful in San Angelo) has me changing...

It started with the touchsreen stereo I installed in my 2012 (because I wanted a back-up camera), and I've been trying to just use the top side of my fingernail to 'touch' things, which works for the most part, but I'm human and forget. I'll check into the screen protector idea - thanks for the...

I also have mixed feelings... but mostly not for the reasons listed above. I admit I'm also concerned about the screen bricking and losing pretty much all of the truck's electronics along with it. But, having been in the IT world since the '80s, I am that guy who loses my sh!t when there are...

I have an Undercover Flex - which is just like the BAKFlip MX4, and I'm pretty sure the leading edge doesn't ride as far over the lip of the tailgate as the old Extang I had. Glad you like your BAKFlip and Swing Cases!

I followed the directions for mounting, which I believe actually used one existing hole on each side (the rest had to be drilled). They only had about an inch of clearance from the bottom of the boxes to the floor/tail gate when in-place. They would swing in and out with the cover on quite...

I had a pair in my 2012 Lone Star - loved 'em! I was hoping to get the flat universal tool kit out of the back seat area, but there was no way it would fit in the boxes, so I just had soft things (like straps, tow ropes, gloves, jumper cables, a bag of rags, etc.) stashed in them. When I had...

I think you missed the part where I mentioned "(depending on recording level)." My hearing is just fine. I don't use streaming services - why pay for a music service that plays tunes I already have? I listen primarily to MP3s from a USB thumb drive. Believe it or not, even factory produced...

I have the exact same complaints with the HK 19 speaker system, and listen to the same (mostly) music genres. My plan is to install a line converter and add-on powered sub [with gain control switch] so I can adjust bass as needed. It sucks when Linkin Park shakes your fillings, but the very...

I've always wondered why they continue to put the door lock pins/pegs in modern cars. Once they went to a bullet style (back in the '80s), the trick of using the coat hanger to 'lasso' the peg and lift to unlock isn't really feasible anymore. All they really seem to do is let would-be thieves...

I'm not a fan. Call me old school, a luddite, or whatever, but when the engine shuts off at a stop, I'm flashed back to my first car which when that happened, I would sometimes have to get out and push. I also tend to take care of and hang onto my cars for quite awhile - it's nice having...

Wow! That could get bad in a quick way if it locks up your transmission and the E-brake while you're still moving. That is not your run-of-the-mill issue, even though I'd wager it's probably as simple as a flaky/bad sensor somewhere. I hope you can get some resolution before something truly...

Since my last post, I've tried the shuffle and seems to have the same issue as mentioned by Billet1500 4x4. Annoying. 'Shuffle' is dead to me now. :cool:

Obviously, my mistake is thinking in the 'cause & effect' and 'big picture' lanes when almost everybody is only concerned with 'can I make this work.' My apologies and gratitude to those who chose not to be an *** through all of this. Let's try something new and think logically starting with a...

I'm not cryin' about anything. If you'd read it, you'd see that the original poster asked if UC5 would be compatible with his older truck. I said 'No,' offered my opinion as to why, and got dogpiled as a result. The rest is me foolishly thinking I needed to explain myself.

Interesting. I was going to offer up what worked for my '97 when I had the very same issue. Mine turned out to be the Idle Air Control Valve. The first one was a bit gummed up, so cleaning the throttle body helped it along for another few months, but it eventually gave up. Then it turned...

I totally understand that there's most likely a way to ADAPT the UC5 components to work in an older vehicle, as I'm sure you guys are going to find ways to make it work. But you can't deny that a management decision was made to not go with a plug'n'play solution. Otherwise, you guys wouldn't...

A fair point, and I'm not trying to establish myself as any kind of an expert on automotive electronics (unlike some others, possibly). Replacement parts for specific model runs vs. new component compatibility with older vehicles is not a very good argument. Remember when they made a subtle...

I'm sorry. I was completely overcome by your obvious vast expertise in this topic when you said things like 'it SHOULD work.' I know enough about automotive electronics to have upgraded countless stereos since my first car in the mid-'80s, rebuilt and rewired my two favorite toys sitting in...
