And points west and north as well. My Dad flew planes for a living... he instilled in me that if you take care of your machine like your life depended on it (and it does) it will take care of you. So, things get fixed on the truck. So far, it has never left me stranded. Knock on wood.

A rarity..someone who understands HOW2 take care of stuff...as if your
life depends on it...it does...just that for ground vehicles...they
do NOT fall out of the sky when they hic-up...



Happy Holidays !

While my truck won't fall out of the sky... it can do a lot of really nasty things if steering or brakes fail. A lot of my travels have taken me through some mountain passes with some grades that cause dry mouth. I 70 east out of Denver has a sign for truckers "Truckers... you are not down yet". Pagosa Springs is a favorite place... and there's a song that says "if your brakes go out in Wolf Creek Pass you'll take out half of Pagosa Springs".

I know some folks let little stuff slide... If I'm tempted to do that, I "see" my Dad frowning and saying "I taught you better than that".
Dad flew many planes in his lifetime...while he was not a certified mechanic... he could listen to an engine or a vehicle and tell you something was "getting ready to go". He did his own flight checks even after someone else had already done them. While he could have been considered a "bold pilot"... he was a stunt pilot in his younger years... he was not stupid... he did live to be an "old pilot".

Ah well... a trip down memory lane. Anyway, I hope this explains why I come here and ask questions. I'm not a mechanic... but I sure do respect people with the know how.

Thanks to a previous poster I will go back to the dealer who changed out the info cluster and have them check their work to make sure nothing was bumped, broken or otherwise compromised.

Thanks all
