    Plugs, air filter, cabin air filter, and new rear brakes today. Didn't know why my ebrake light is on now though the fluid is full so gotta figure that out... 182k

    That part is good now. First road test had no rear breaks second test locked them up, third was just right. Took them in a little father just for good measure as well. Even tried pulling the batteries to clear it but that didn't work.

    been on a pump since 27 yo (45 now) all have been medtronic, this latest one is the 670G with continuous glucose sensor. ive had it 4-5 mos, and I still dont trust it. it puts me low. constantly working with doc, and rep, to adjust settings to dial it in........supposedly best thing since sliced bread, mine is getting there. I have hope.

    found this thread a few days ago, its in its infancy, but a good place to share similar experiences.....

    I hear that. i use to test 3x per day. (on the previous pumps) now with this new pump with CGM sensor, it needs calibrations 4x / day, and wants finger stick readings a lot more that that. its kind of a PITA, but.....have hope it will keep me in the good range more, and reduce A1C

    I think you can, take your time though and take pics before you do shit! Each side is a little different. There are a few specialty tools just for drums that will really help out ass well. The main top spring needs some muscle motivation to be put in the right spot. All others are pretty easy though.
