When is your first frost? In our area of Montana it’s September 26.

These are what I got on Amazon. They’ve been going 5+ years and two seats in Montana. Wife loves them. https://delicate-leather.com/products/car-seat-heater-kit-for-2-seats-carbon-fiber-alloy-wire-heating-pads-with-3-level-switch

They’ve worked so good that when I bought replacement seats from salvage, I swapped the heaters into the replacement seats.

I installed seat heaters in our 2014 4Runner. They were like $80 on Amazon and work great.

Went out to the LKQ Pick your Part in Victorville, CA. They had two Silverado 2500 HD trucks. The bearing bolts on the first truck stripped and could not be removed, but had success on the second truck. It was 100F out there and just miserable, but I got it done.

Completed my two day, 1,250 mile drive from Stevensville, MT to Fullerton, CA. Flopped at Paveltolz’s place in Saratoga Springs, Utah at the midpoint. It was 600 miles from Stevensville to Saratoga Springs and I still had 1/4 tank of fuel left. This engine now has 10.35k miles on it and is...

Found a 2004 Silverado HD in Rialto:

Would knuckles from a 1999 Silverado 2500 work?

For $20 per knuckle, I’ll get replacements and ream them.

I need a new set of knuckles because I reemed too deep for the tie rods. There is a 2011 HD at an LKQ Pik a Part yard and they have a 50% off sale this weekend. Would the knuckles from a 2011 HD work as replacements?

What do you mean “quench” It? Drop it in water?

Alternator gave it up.

I was silent on this when you bought it. Wish you had asked here, because this model is well known for electrical gremlins.

I have literally done all of this and will have to do it again when I paint the truck because the paint on the handle is chipped up pretty ugly:

I need to get back to the remote rear door lock issue I originally started this thread for. At least I corrected most of the stereo and speaker issues.

I bet you the OEM rods were hecho in China.

I just did this to get the clip back onto the latch rod at the latch.

That was my next step, but right now it’s opening nicely. RockAuto does sell replacement rods. I’d probably go that route.

OK I verified the rear roof speakers are not work and the control for them on the Pioneer Head Unit is greyed out. Did some YouTube research and it’s due to the parking brake line. I simply grounded mine to get the head unit to work, but it still creates issues with the rear roof speakers. On...

Replaced the driver’s side interior handle as the existing was bent, which made it extremely difficult to open as the length of pull on the actuator rod was severely diminished. RockAuto had a close out on handles for $3.98, but shipping was $11.98, so I ordered 3 handles to justify the shipping...
