k9sar Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Replaced the battery. The single digit weather in the northeast finally did it in and starting was a no-go. When I pulled the old battery out, I saw the date code on it.... C9. Damned near lasted 10 years! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for mine to die for good. It doesnt want to power the led dome lights for anything longer than 10 minutes without dying but she still started in the cold when the locks and doors were frozen shut (annoying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big mountain range going though this state that I live on called the sierras lol. It can get fairly cold here, not as cold as some places but cold none the less lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Brown Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Replaced the temp sender and sensor, once the sensor got tight it broke off annoyingly. Easy out #2 works, thank God a had one otherwise I would have to take it all apart and tear it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Wondered what the hell that noise was. It sounded like a wiper motor or a fuel pump having a really bad day, but it didn't stop when I turned the truck off. Then I got out and realized the sound was actually coming from the from four or five lonely bloodhounds in the back of a Chevy pickup parked nearby. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Finally had one of my led brake lights die (lasted 11 years!), an own dome light & a few bulbs in the HMS light. Replaced dome, cargo, map, STT, HMS, & reverse lights with a combo of JDM & LUYED(sp?) led's. Interior is very well lit now and all the others seem to be of good quality and are substantially brighter than their predecessors. As a note, the led STT bulbs I had for 11 years were from superbrightleds.com. I did consider buying from them again, but their pricing on the newest/brightest versions are substantially more than other highly rated units. Figured I'd take a gamble on the cheaper ones, so hopefully they last a while. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGoat Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 JDM Astar I assume? The LEDs from them & LUYED seem pretty good. I’d put Diode Dynamics at the top with DDM Tuning below that & then Mictuning, iJDMToy & JDM Astar. I’ve been thinking Alla & LUYED might belong there as well. I am trying both & will be interested in your long term results too. I’ve definitely learned my lesson about cheapies bit I’ve wanted to explore these lower cost ones for good quality at a good price. Longevity is the key to value there. BTW, LUYED certainly spares no attention to packaging, huh, mine came in literally beautiful little boxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Not today but from this past Saturday. I stopped by Hawairish’s and we (he) fabbed up this awesome little mount for my roof light switches. Came out perfectly with his handy cnc plasma.I also didn’t know he drove for lyft Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, JDM Astars & yeah, the packaging of the LUYED kinda scared me, I expected to open those and see either some crappy looking led's or diamonds! Lol. I'm curious to see how long they last. I'll keep you posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd had to cut my dash above and to the right of the coin tray and put them there to hide the wires. Great job though.

PathyDude17 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Installed mike marker manual hubs. They fit behind my center cap, but more importantly, they work awesome. Totally reduces drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_Brown Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Got some nice parts from pick and pull. Even found a rear dome light cover (though it was too far degraded to really consider taking) and (only 1) brake light armor for the wd21. Picked up some switches for the defroster and the dash lights. Couldn't get one for the rear wiper but it's what it is. Also got some side heater vent covers which is pretty awesome along with my center heater vent assembly so I can put that back together finally.

Mrelcocko Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Picked me up another radio bezel,tool bag, distributor and what looks like a fairly new overflow reservoir from Pull-A-Part today. Didn't really need this stuff but got it anyway. Installing over flow on my 97 Q and bezel on my 96 Pathy. guys. Mr Cox 96R50-97JR50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjackson2 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Made this up today to mount a kindle fire that wasn’t being used with torque pro and the pro gauge app on it. Pretty sweet to be able to monitor all this stuff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
