Can you consistently create this condition? Like it will happen every time you are coasting at 30-35? If you can re-create it easily, ask the service advisor at your dealer to send a tech with you as a passenger so you can demonstrate it. The original tech that test drove it probably didn't...

That was on my Avalanche. It was old and I didn't use it a lot, so I just put up with it lol.

What I did on my old truck when it developed a vibration was I downloaded a free vibration recorder on my phone. Then I drove the truck at the speed it was most pronounced (in my case, 105km/h). I compared the frequency of the vibration to the various rotating parts on the truck. In my case, the...

Depends on your experience driving in snow and ice previously. They're capable in light snow and ice, with good tires and you might need some weight in the back.

The harnesses may be there, but that doesn't mean it's plug & play. GM's have the connections in place, but you cannot add an OEM brake controller after the fact. They refuse to update the programming appropriately. However, they do a pretty good job of building in connections for aftermarket...

Seems like there are a few guys here that don't want to deviate from the manual because they've always done it that way. It's your call - you will probably get through the warranty period just fine, and probably longer. But when Lake makes these decisions, he's using hard data from oil analysis...

I've had the same step for several months now and it has been great. We'll see how well it does over the winter!

That's correct. If you're stopped / parked with heat on in cooler temperatures, it will restart the ICE as needed to keep coolant temperatures up. Shuts off when the temps reach the requirement again.

I chose #3 because the pattern under the driver's right foot is more or less horizontal which reduces the risk of the foot slipping around when they're wet or snowy/icy. This makes throttle and brake modulation much easier.

Experienced my AT3's recently in mixed conditions from icy (freezing rain) to slush and fresh snow (maybe 3" deep) on the highway. On ice, my traction control was kicking in quite a bit (granted I had an empty bed). On the slush and snow on the highway, they were very impressive. It felt very...

Interestingly the Canadian website only indicates the Open Country M/T 33/12.5R18 122Q is affected. Must have been limited shipments from the bad batch to Canada. SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN | Toyo Tires Canada

Did you check the voltage? If it's a bit low, it may have enough to power the cluster, but not the brake or starter.

Do you have the capability to load it a bit more forward in the bed? It definitely would be taking weight off the front in that position, but you may be limited on your reach if you're loading with a picker.

For others that look at this thread in the future, just something of note: If you are LEASING your vehicle, check the contract. Some require OEM glass on it when it's returned at the end of the lease or you're left paying for a new OEM windshield (BMW has this requirement). In Calgary, everyone...

Yikes, dude. Granted mine is hybrid, but I often get over 500km on mine with City driving in Calgary with C-rated 33's. Roughly 11L/100km on the highway if I go to Banff and back.

Has anyone tried using Tow Mode in 4HI to do higher speed climbs? Part of the function of Tow Mode is to keep the revs high and the trans cool, so curious if it has a similar benefit to manual mode.

This is actually one of my favorite things about my Tacoma. Well, this and creeping along in heavy traffic without the engine coming on. I didn't really think I'd care, but it is nice to know that you're not just burning gas for no reason, and it's nice and quiet for those around.

What's the power draw? Does the installer know there are pre-wired aux circuits - one of them being under the hood?

If you turn off the sliders for phone & media, does the Android Auto slider appear? Just guessing - so far haven't had mine disappear like that!

I am assuming that what they mean is that the electric motor can only produce 100% of torque for 10 seconds at a time. In my experience, I have driven on purely electric around town for much longer than that, but at lower torque output (~25% on the gauge).
