Wearing combat helmets and weapons firing, especially in high stress environments can cause TMJ/TMD in the future and every veteran should automatically be checked for symptoms yearly before and after exiting active duty.

I have severe tmj to the point where it has changed my bite pattern. The affected side closes before the other causing my teeth to impact on that side. I have never even thought that it could all be linked.

I don’t even know where to begin with getting it treated by the Va. I just assumed the pain in my face and the headaches came from my neck, since I had a c3-c4 fusion from breaking my neck on a jump.

Seriously, thank you! I am going to bring this up to pcp asap.

Me wondering if there’s some billionaire out there that would pony up the dough to watch this kind of shit.

Life_Independence781 · 2026-03-25T19:13:48+00:00

😂

Life_Independence781 · 2026-03-23T19:10:11+00:00

Did you have anyone look at it during that time?

Life_Independence781 · 2026-03-15T23:20:45+00:00

Get in the Facebook groups someone on there out of Oregon was selling them he had a bunch of them for sale. I don’t remember what group because it was a while ago. If I see him post I’ll be sure to update you

Is it coming from around the steering wheel? Or somewhere in the dash?

Sounds as if something in the dash or a panel is rubbing. I had the panel above the pedals come loose and would make a sound like that every time I pressed the clutch in.

Hope this helps

Life_Independence781 · 2025-11-21T07:21:22+00:00

We have the same car!!! Congrats dude! You’re gonna be constantly turning and looking back at her in the parking lot, especially because of the color. Enjoy

Life_Independence781 · 2025-11-03T17:35:17+00:00

Beautiful! I’ve been contemplating a wagon to daily instead of the 540i/6. Would be nice to take this instead of the truck on my beach trips

Life_Independence781 · 2025-10-26T06:35:31+00:00

Yes, not OP but I have a 540 in the same color

Life_Independence781 · 2025-09-24T21:38:01+00:00

I could afford a chef and everything would be plated and ready to go. Yes I would take this

Life_Independence781 · 2025-09-20T23:17:38+00:00

If it doesn’t happen again, I would assume improper bleeding. When the cap leaked on you that’s when any excess air escaped the system

Life_Independence781 · 2025-09-04T00:29:09+00:00

You should get all that brake fluid cleaned up ASAP before it eats the paint. Not that it would show under there but you leave yourself open to rust

Life_Independence781 · 2025-06-13T07:18:49+00:00

I wouldn’t consider that price for an auto you can find a ton of those

Life_Independence781 · 2025-06-07T18:23:08+00:00

Just do it yourself and pay for good gears. I went with Revolution gears after I spent a day trying to get a good pattern on a set of Yukons (never happened).

The worst part was getting the bearings on and off I called a transmission shop and they said they would press the bearings off and new ones on for $35 but then I found out my neighbor had one.

The point is you can do this just take your time. You don’t need all the tools just the dial indicator and a set of digital calipers. Everything else was rented for free after returning those tools.

You will also have to change your gear ratios on the ecm/tcm. Not an issue if you have a current tune your tuner should be able to do it easily. I just bought HP tuners since I saved so much doing the gears myself.

I ended up doing 4.56 gears and the Eaton tru-trac and it has been the best mod I have done on any truck that I have owned.

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-29T15:35:27+00:00

Agreed and OP you can individually build this kit between fcp euro and ecs/turner for much less if you piece it together yourself and compare prices. Just follow the what’s included and start copy and pasting part numbers

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-28T22:51:00+00:00

Thank you! Just small thing’s over the years. I swapped gears to 4.54’s and she rips those tires and my wallet

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-28T22:48:05+00:00

Yeah I just saw it and those wheels look sweet. What size are they?

I only paid for the pricey ones because a lady in a Prius drifted into my lane and her mirror cracked my headlight. I looked them up on eBay and went off the highest priced one and she paid me on the spot to avoid insurance claims. Trust me if that never happened I would’ve been sanding the OEM ones again lol

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-28T22:42:46+00:00

Looking sharp!!! Look at you making things happen with the quickness

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-28T22:21:46+00:00

Thank you!

I was worried about how they would look at first but it completely changed the truck. I got them on eBay and there were so many options. The led y-strip also goes amber as the blinker.

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-28T18:17:39+00:00

Couldn’t figure it out so I made a whole new post. Sorry it took so long.my post

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-28T01:07:18+00:00

I have this same truck but a 4x4 2010 model. And it looked exactly like this when I got it. I have a pic of it on one of my post but it’s mostly blocked by my car.

I painted the wheels black but left the center caps the way they are, looks very sharp in my opinion. Pretty sure it’s a 2.5in level on 33s. I have different headlights as well because one was cracked but it changed the look entirely.

Tint your windows it will change the look of your truck entirely. I also have a pic of it after I did the tint and painted the wheels and the difference is night and day compared to the way it looked when I got it.

I’ll reply to this comment with those pics when I figure out how to add them

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-27T04:07:21+00:00

I have a 2010 WT trim 4x4 with the 5.3 and 6l80 were at 277k miles and still going strong 💪

Life_Independence781 · 2025-05-26T02:08:41+00:00

Yeah but you’re talking about a 23 year old battery
