What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

SOON.

 

Installed HDMI adaptor for the new stereo. I disconnected the charger port that was there, might install it somewhere else.

 

Is there anything truck related that doesn’t work? Where does the microphone go with this set up, for you phone..
I assume it’s Apple I play. It looks like great reviews on the install, but I’m more curious about the player, what don’t you like about it? Does it also show the stereo band and song between the speedo and tach?

 

She just hit 61k and 4 years old today.

engine oil/filter
Air filter
Brake pads
Front diff/t case
Top off coolant

 

... And driver's side done. Rust repair? Who's she?

 

It’s working excellent for me. I installed the mic in the factory location, which is in the overhead panel in the headliner. Written instructions came for the mic install, along with a little clip to hold it in the factory mic location. It uses Apple CarPlay so yes, band, song info all displayed. The big plus over the factory head unit for me is everything works via Bluetooth, including Apple Maps and navigation. I dig it so far.

I haven’t dug into all the connectivity to the trucks instruments and data like tire pressure, but I’ll report back. My assumption is they work as advertised.

 

Do you have the 360 degree panoramic cameras (front, side mirrors, and back) and is all of that functionality still there?

 

I don’t have those.

 

Is this with the JBL system or non-JBL? Have you upgraded the speakers as well?

 

made a harness and hooked up my "set up at night camp site lights"

 

I sent them an email and they replied that it was compatible with my JBL system/harness and the OEM Audio + speakers and sub that I already have installed. Of course, if it doesn’t maintain all of the factory functionality I would have been better off starting from scratch from the beginning. I sent a follow up question asking about the 360 camera view but haven’t heard back yet.

 

Non JBL, no upgraded speakers yet. I will say their claim the unit improves the existing sound is accurate.

 

Out with the old and in with the new.
I'm at 67k miles spark plugs are next. Any suggestions???

 

That’s in Ontario and it’s closed down sadly

 

Oem and basically finger tight like 13 ft/#’s or 17 n/m something like that, no anti-seize!

 

what was the reason you went with an open air catch can?

 

Brought her back home with a fresh new rear axle.

 

Quick follow-up to my own post earlier for anyone considering the All Auto Up/Down window switch that @tacomission posted about. Nice option that allows you to roll the rear windows down or up with one push or pull of the switch just like the front windows. Downside is that the rear windows do not have the auto-reverse safety feature in case something gets in the way while they go up (at least on ours). The switch doesn't change that. I sent an email to the seller and this was his reply:

"Hello, Thank you for your attention. If you are talking about the window anti-pinch function, this seems to be a car configuration and cannot be implemented through the window switch. Best regards, Chen"

So it's a deal breaker for me since our pups like to stick their heads out the windows as dogs do and it would be a tragedy if they accidentally got stuck. So a great idea, but if you're concerned about something or someone (kids?) being injured because the window will continue to go up no matter what, you'll probably want to pass. I know that you can sometimes "bump" the front windows up or down, but it's kind of a crap shoot since sometimes they just keep going. It's too bad and I'm a little surprised that the rear windows don't have that safety feature. I suspect that's why the power controls for the rear windows are semi-manual.

Hope that helps anyone that follows.
