UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Congratulations to the Utes for winning the PAC-12 South. I will be attending and super stoked.

Go Utes!

 

Going to Karl Malone for my 15k service this week...also included in my notes I want the TSB update done..going to print the procedure off and give it to them as well. I'll report back how it goes. Didn't feel like driving to Larry Miller lol.

 

Let's us know how the TSB goes. Like do you see a difference on how the vehicle drives and how long does the TSB procedure takes to complete.

 

Just got back, they did do the update for me (thankfully!)...and also noticed my rear diff had a little seepage going on and ordered parts to warranty it no questioned asked, which made me happy. I know some have fought with dealers to get small seeps/leaks fixed. Took like 1.5 hours for oil change, tsb, and to inspect the rear diff. They were busy and I was told 2-3 from the start.

I do notice the truck holds gears a tad bit longer, still far from being perfected but it's a start.

 

Thanks for sharing you experience and knowledge, it was helpful.

 

Is this an issue that just affects 2017 models and newer? Or should I be worried about the update on my 2019 as well?

 

I'm not sure if 2019 models have that issue, but from what I have read and from my own experience with driving a 2017 model that the vehicle does hunt for gears and does not hold a specific gear when you're driving up an incline or revs really high on a gear. And by all means I'm no expert either, just a guy with Taco.

 

Some pics from Rock Therapy (I know its a little late!).

 

Looks like a good time indeed.

 

I posted on the UTOR facebook page, but the shop that installed my remote start is running a special on their Compustar (Articstart) kits this week if anyone is considering this spectacular mod.

$270 including installation. This comes with a lifetime warranty on parts and labor for as long as you own the vehicle, keyless entry, flashing lights, and remote start with programmed 25 min run time. 800ft range, unless your inside heavy concrete buildings or around downtown and then the interference will knock it down to about 300ft.

They have 3 options -
1. If you have a 2016+, you can get the option where you press the lock button on your original key fob 3 times and it starts/stops the engine.
2. Get a 1 button key fob - start/stop.
3. Or a separate 4 button key fob - lock, unlock, start, trunk (if applicable)

The shop is Pro Audio Pro 4x4 in Provo. Just have to call them up and mention you heard about the deal.

 

I feel compelled to give a shout out to the Utes for completing their eighth straight win over their rival down south.

Now onto the PAC-12 Championship. The Huskies will be relentless.

 

@H3llRid3r I watched that game. Utah made the fans a bit nervous in the first half. Then when Blackmon got that pick six I told my BYU loving friend that was the spark the Utes needed and sure enough got the come back win. I have no dog in the fight I want all Utah based schools to do well. However, this year I was a bit more on the Utes side as I want them to get into a $better$ bowl game. BYU is going to end up in the I don't give a crap bowl no matter if they won or lost that game. My brother lives in Seattle so I am going to be all in on the Utes Friday night. I am trying to talk him into betting me an envelope of lets say 10 green monopoly moneys. Me getting the points of course. +3.5 but I think the line moves in Utah's favor settling at 4 or 4.5.

 

Yea, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but I never felt like we were out of it. I think we were just deeper and more talented in this one.

 

At halftime when it was 20-0 I told my wife I’d still be more surprised to see BYU win than the U. Congrats on the win.

 

I saw this during the game. Had to rewind it to show my wife. Wish they wouldn't have waited to finally start playing until the 2nd half. I can't take too many more of these close ones.

 

Indeed. Washington is going to be tough to beat. Peterson does a good job getting his team ready to play.

 

Just got back from offroading....there were people camping inside the tunnel with a huge fire going...wtf. Been waiting to go up there forever for the first time to get a cool pic and there were some damn people CAMPING in it.

And I broke a mudflap, only 1 stock mudflap remaining...

Besides that, had some fun going through some mud puddles and a little bit of snow! Froze my ass off washing the truck...but needed to get her clean.

 

Loaded up the fam and headed out to the west desert to find some fresh snow. It was a blast! https://youtu.be/9h9RCIbaZTs

 

Cruiser is looking good.

 

What tires are you running on your Cruiser?
