  5. Heated seat problem

    in General SS

    Probably a short, as the seat foam collapses there are points on the element that crease causing shorts.

     

    The system constantly checks itself for shorts and shuts down as a result.

     

    However I will say that the Seat Heater control module(intergrated into the driver window switch) has a tendency to fail due to water getting into the switch(and humidity).

    Ahhh...you guys are so fussy. Yeah the grill/headlight combo needs to hit the dumpster, but the rest would make a good driver truck. You wouldn't have to worry about racking up miles, or otherwise devaluing it. You want to see a sad SS? Here is the lost soul brother to my avatar pic(my truck before paint). It was an arrival blue SS, but had a white cab that was jammed red, and the VIN pop riveted on, AND it was a repo, not a salvage, so someone had a loan on this bad boy. Bonus points: it has the ever popular upside down SS badge on the tailgate

    But why?

  11. When do you consider your mileage to be too high?

    Mine has 189k and has yet to give me any issues, I religiously mantain it. You are much better off financially to buy a 6k supercharger than to take a 6k or more hit from trade in. Sure, the newer trucks have more bells and whistles but are much, much better off keeping until it is unfeasible to maintain on the road.

     

    Ultimately it boils down to two things:

    1. Financial

    2. Emotional

     

    Which one means more to you is purely up to you. I will say this:

     

    A 6,10, or even 15k loss in "trade in value" on a paid off truck is much easier to hide in the glory of a new pick up rather than spending the same amount in go fast parts.

    I'd love to get these things made.

     

    Rad shroud

    Brake ducts

    Radio bezel(like the whole dash bezel)

    ISS spoiler

    Dash top cover piece

    Center console

    Volant air intake cover

    Volant air intake snorkel

     

    Pretty much whatever you want to make. Let me know where we are at price wise and we can go from there.
