I’m keeping my originals now. After returning the wrong ones I went online and read up on trim restoration. On an Explorer site a guy talked about taking a heat gun to them. I thought WTH, $20 on Amazon. Got it today and just got done doing them…took about 15 minutes and no disassembly of...

I bought some running boards off of EBay and they’re totally wrong for my 08 Sport Trac. Even though I got the “this will fit your vehicle” green light when I ordered. So, I gotta send them back, re-box them and pay $72 in return shipping for my screw up. Where can I order some good ones that...

Right after I had my HVAC actuator done a couple weeks ago, I open my back window and now it wants to stay open. When I press to close it - it will go up then back down to open. I played with it and I can get it staying in the vent position but cannot fully close it anymore. I know I had my...

Well, the TPM warning light is back on my dashboard again. Same deal, drove about 30 miles and the bell and light went on. Since I have all new TPM‘s installed on my new tire/wheel combo I know it’s not them. Do I just live with it? Will the $20 Autel thingamabob turn it off? Will it stay off...

Approximately - about how much does a tire shop charge you to replace the sensors? I know I paid for new sensors when I got the new tire/rim pkg. They worked great when I left DT. Light didn’t come on again til a couple months later when I drove it for awhile. (Being retired it‘s rare for me to...

Keep us posted please Fred. Mine has the same problem since I got it. Just had new tires/wheels put on at Discount and same thing. After I drive around 30 minutes it comes on and sounds alarm. Alarm goes off and then I turn it off on the dash display. Next day all is normal until I’ve gone about...

I love your motto Ron, great attitude- welcome.

Yeah- was going to say I don’t think my spare has a sensor - since I’ve been error free on my dash since my new tire and wheels were done and the computer reset correctly.

Wow, totally uncalled for! That’s a situation where it’s tempting to sue somebody. But ultimately not worth the hassle. My place is in Beaufort , SC. Beautiful town and a beautiful DT🤓👍.

I took it back to DT and the guy who “knew what to do” - was working. DT “got me taken care of.“ Had to go back but ultimately a happy customer. Overall I’d recommend. But they really should bring back the coffee in the waiting room IMHO.

Thx for the replies. Agreed. Should be covered under the 2K already spent.

I’m getting too frequent on this site…bought new rims and tires today. (And 4 new TPMS for each wheel). Of course the check tire pressure message is coming on every time I start my truck now. Along with the dashboard tire light symbol. Disco Tire said it goes away and resets itself after a day...

All good info- thx guys. I think I’m ok with “Mr Transmission” as long as he doesn’t power flush anything in the service. As for Scotty he's definitely figured out clickbait and being entertaining in his videos. All good.

Agree completely. Not only did the shows blow, but I didn’t know any of the so called “entertainers” either. Which is just as well I suppose, as I am not the target market anymore. “Guys who like old trucks”. Not a big moneymaker demographic to advertise to.
