I agree Bruce.

Very helpful. Although I don't see too many MAJOR changes with the 2017. Same motor/tranny so hopeful at least the general maintenance tasks have not changed too much.

Dang Bruce, you made me blush......

Between your post and watching my son hit golf ***** today, there's not much left. He is 14 this month and I've had him playing for a few years but today he brought my old clubs out (no more junior set). I watched him take some swings, I showed him how to keep his hips and shoulders connected through the turn of the swing, and it clicked.

The very first time he truly connected, ball jumping off the club, nice ball flight, ball speed was enough to be able to hear the air whoosh as the ball flew away. I almost teared up!

Problem solved

I finally got my camera working again. There are 2 plugs, one plug is to aid in tailgate removal, the other is on the driver side against the hitch frame, inside the frame by the spare tire.

Both plugs were saturated with water/dirt/mud. When I pulled the connections apart they both showered me in dirty muddy water and the prongs/sockets were soaked and showing signs of corrosion. I cleaned them up best I could, applied di-electric grease liberally, and plugged everything together and the camera signal is working. Picture quality is normal again.

Now if I could get the lines to turn with my 2015 I'd be really happy!

Hey, Dak, all ya gotta do is trade for a newer truck! 2016 and up, the lines do turn with the wheel!
