  1. SS Operational Lifespan

    in General SS

    Posted

    When I met my now wife, she had a 03 ss that had 256k on it.  She was not the original owner and did not know how many he owned before her. We’re from Minnesota so it was a little rusty but the thing ran like new. Never left her stranded, she took it on over night work trips to different states and really enjoyed the truck. She sold it in the mid 260’s to get a vehicle that got better economy.  The truck had for sure been cared for and maintained.  
    Earlier this summer I sold my 03 I picked up after always wanting one and being teased by driving hers. This one has just over 100k, despite its near mint appearance,  It proved have had a rough life, I did not have the check book to get it back to totally reliability so I sold it. 
    it sounds to me like yours could go on to live a life like the truck my wife had. These trucks go and go and go when maintained correctly

    Unfortunately, I do not. Are you saying that the temps change automatically/randomly?

    When I try to adjust the temp, it doesn’t matter if I am adjusting up or down it will bounce around and get confused which way I am trying to go. A steady smooth roll to the right to heat it up will act like I am rolling it left and right randomly.

    Truck has been sitting awhile and drained the battery. Bought a new battery and drove it around. When I get in it this morning the cluster was lit up but none of the gauges were working. I've read where the clusters are notorious for bad stepper motors and such, but what could cause all of them to stop at the same time?

    Sorry did not mean to hijack your post! I also had a recent issue like this when my battery was very low and the backlights still worked but most of the gauges did not read at all. Charged it up and let the truck hibernate on a trickle charger now.  I have had no issues since

    This a common issue. Not as common as the stepper motors though. Let me know if you want to get it fixed.

    Do you rebuild the digital climate controls?  My dials have a mind of their own. My non professional diagnostic would say they just need the connections cleaned but I’m not sure I want to take anything like this apart.

     

  23. Rear bumper adjustment/leveling

    Posted

    Hey guys, I recently installed an oem bumper to replace a roll pan.  My truck stays in the garage for the winters so I haven’t been in a hurry to get the final part done.  I need to get the bumper level and adjusted to line up correctly.  Does anyone know of a write up or video that could help me get this dialed in? 
    thanks!
