Howdy Gang!
Andre, glad a reflash fixed it. Why did they quit working to begin with? (What changed?)
Nothing changed what so ever. They originally thought that the BCM recognized the after market Recon tail lights and that is what caused it. The recons have been one there for over a year. Not to mention the stock tail lights didn't work either. MM3 (my tuner) did do a firmware update that added the 3 blink lane change option and brights on with fog lights that manipulates the BCM to allow those functions. Tail lights worked for a month after the change and I had the old firmware that I reflashed to with no improvement,. They ruled out the tuner. So we chalked it up to a some sort of computer glitch that was fixed with a reboot (or in this case reflash). Lots of head scratching and it came down to it's working now, so let's just be thankful kind of stuff.
Tim, the truck looks really good! Good luck with the knee replacement! It's coming up fast.
Monty, How is Trent doing? I said some prayers for him and hope he is doing better!!!
Jon, those pics are awesome! The truck and trailer look pretty good together, but the scenery is breath taking! I had a compressor under my the bed of my Ford for 3 years and 2 compressors locked up. I think a sealed container is needed. They just can't take the elements.
Gerry, your son's dog looks fun! Send some of that snow to us!
Desert Don, I'm with Doug! About time you had some chilly weather down there!
Swamp Don, the vehicles look great!
Roy, Jim, Eric, Iowa Tim, Darren and the rest of you guys, have a great week!
Gerry here is a photo of Heavy's house last week
Framers are almost done, But I'll probably have to finish. I doubt I get them back for the little stuff.
HVAC is almost done, They will be running black pipe today for gas
Plumbers have finished drain lines and will start fresh water this week
Sparky's start next monday
Mason have about 1/2 of the back done with stone work.
I need a warm day to finish spraying the Blue Vapor barrier on the house. It needs to be above 45° F Not sure I'll see that till February.
I thought you were going to say ''its not Gerrys, its not white'' I rented it to go visit my son in Southern Ont, I like it a lot but I miss the creature comforts like heated steering wheel/seats.....
Jon, thx for the heavy house pic, very nice so far, up here we use TYPAR house wrap on the outside, I was wondering what that blue stuff is but I like the idea ....

Ours ride like crap on the highway too! Your truck ok or just didn't want to put the miles on it?

Funny how stuff sometimes just quits. Glad it is resolved though.
Jon, NICE house! I'm trying to follow on IG, but don't know my way around there yet, and don't have a bunch of patience or time to try to figure out how to navigate IG.
Gerry, it's funny how spoiled we get with our trucks now. OMG - NO HEATED WHEEL!!!!!.
The Jeep was great on the highway Savage but its all original,
my Ram is fine because I park it for the winter in my heated garage to keep salt n all off of it,
I dont really need a truck all winter,
I have the Explorer for winter & around town plus I wanted to try a Jeep
I was thinking about your water/flooding issues,
many land owners/farmers up here dig a water pond on their property in a low spot, and our government even gives them a break on their property taxes .....
have you thought about digging a pond??
I have a pond in the front yard, and a pond in the pasture. Everything drains toward them. Once the ponds are full and the ground is saturated, the water stands where it is.

Doug. And here I thought I was helping, lol ........
I should have known you did all you could but no one can control Mother Nature
can you pump water from the pond away some where ??
Had a Doc appointment this morning after taking Theresa to school. I am still alive.... Blood sugars are at the top of the Ok scale..... I need to do better..... The kidneys are still a little upset with the Metformin diabetic med. we reduced it last time..... now we are dropping it completely. I am going to have to behave even better on what I eat/drink and do more walking with the doggies......
Today is a gray yucky day... 35°F / 2°C 5-10 mph winds and solid gray overcast.
I am going to get back to work in the garage...... sure feels good to be making some progress ...... This is going to take a long time, but I am making progress every day !!!
