After discovering that I actually have a remote start system in my truck, I also discovered that my passenger side tow mirror doesn't like to defrost but all other power functions work. Not horrible yet but I am in North East Ohio and it is getting cooler out, I don't remember if it worked this past winter when I got it or not. Probably about time to pull the door panels and see if it is something stupid like being unplugged. Other than that I put about $130 into the fuel tank yesterday and am getting almost the same mileage as my wife's 08 Town and Country.
Went to grease my hubs via the ABS sensor hole (with Riffraff's awesome tool) and found out why my brakes were inconsistent and pulsating like warped rotors: stuck/sticky slide pins due to the incorrect slide pin grease being used and torn boots.
I'm willing to bet it started life as a base model work truck spec (police, fire..ect)
Dead give away is the vinyl rear seat and cloth front seats. They mis-matched a lot of parts on this thing...for one the front bumper pad being black, it would have been white from the factory.
NJ squirrels have struck again. Truck was outside for just 2) weeks, so I reckon its time to send the daughter back out on a mission. Might have to re-armor/upgrade her from the Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle (with a compass in the stock...& laser sights) to the AR.
For a truck that hardly ever gets driven & spends 48 weeks a year in a cozy barn hibernating, she's been the target of some bad luck lately.
Better things to be doing on a Sat afternoon then fixing this.....
