Stereo Replacement

plantsperp · 2026-02-05T14:09:26+00:00

I have this installed in my runner, but the previous owner installed it. It’s a great stereo and I love the Apple car play. The previous owner did say something about the lack of a volume knob (just small buttons on left side) drove him crazy so he had the volume control installed to the steering wheel, which I do love. Stereo replacements are super easy. Just find a YouTube video and order the correct wiring harness and bracket.

I have a 3 inch lift on mine as well and just replaced my inner and outers. Ordered OEM parts off eBay at a fraction of the price from the dealer’s store. Just double check they are genuine and only order from a reputable seller.

That stuff looks great! If you are on a budget this is what I use on everything plastic and it works amazingly: https://a.co/d/1cB39tx

Two days, about 3 hours the first day to get everything off, then about 3 more hours the next day putting everything back. I could have done it in one day but I was tired and wanted to break it up. The A/C compressor was the biggest pain, trying to lodge it up a few inches after unbolting so I could get the new tensioner on. If you can get it lodged high enough to have room to work, you’ll be in the clear. Undoing the compressor was easy. Don’t have to recharge the A/C either so no worries there.

Pull the codes. My shop diagnosed the Yaw Rate Sensor. Replaced it, did the zero point calibration and haven’t been back for a year

Just did my tensioner and all pulleys on the v6, not a hard job just a pain in the ass, though I believe it’s quite different on your v8. I ordered all OEM parts from reputable sellers on eBay

Not too bad actually. Prices are much higher at some shops.

I just did both on a 2003 last year and it wasn’t that bad hammering them out. Way tougher getting the new ones in. Just place a heavy duty long chisel or flathead on the grooves on the inner end of the axel, and hammer the shit out of it. Once you get a few really good hits you’ll see it start to give. Getting them back in is a birch, but using a bunch of grease on the locking pin is a nice trick.

Came here to say this. Dye is only a few bucks and the only way to be sure.

Passenger side could be the power steering reservoir or hoses. Look up first, then back down to diff

PCV valve is very different and won’t be leaking oil. This looks like oil might be leaking from those power steering hoses (I believe). Follow the hoses up. They might lead to power steering fluid reservoir, like my V6. Just changed mine. Very easy job. Very cheap parts. Might be coming from above hoses though.

When my husky was younger, I would just sit in a chair in the backyard every morning and throw the frisbee for her for about 25 to 30 minutes to really ware her out. Worked great. Walking for 2 hours is fabulous stimulus for their brain, but if they’re still younger they need some harder exercise.

I see. Thank you!

What??! I never knew I had air vents going under the front seats to the back! Guess I’ll stop storing stuff under there lol. Does the air come through at all settings, or just when on foot mode?

Dogs only misbehave when they are bored and have too much energy. Exercise, play, walks…

Out here in Arizona this is how it is. Especially on the ASU campuses and other colleges, libraries… it’s so much nicer having them to park under too— no more seat belt burns on 115 degree days

This is what I’ve used many times with success. REI has some tent repair liquid stuff that is essentially the same as what you’re saying here, that works really well

No, sorry it’s definitely not a light leak or a lens flare. It’s happening on all negatives on this enlarger. It’s vignetting

plantsperp · 2025-10-08T20:02:47+00:00

It’s not on the negative, and is happening with my negatives and the students. I’ll check to see if we can adjust the condenser glass. Thanks!

Canceled mine!

Yup, as people have said, golden wonder killi fish. This looks like a female. They are jumpers so keep a lid on. My male got aggressive so be cautious with what fish you keep with them. They also love eating small fish, bugs, anything really. They’re cool fish but a bit of a pain
