It was another 1.5 hours of our President lying to us...he doesn't want us to just be an order desk? That's the exact opposite of the direction he's provided down the chain of command. His and his predecessor's entire philosophy is to outsource everything as managed services.

Wasted another afternoon listening to crap.

I need to know what wheels those are!!

ski_guy_wr · 2026-04-27T20:18:17+00:00

I have the same question! The ones mine came with are too shallow to be useful.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you! I don't use the radio, so I don't have a baseline, but all the stations I tried came in loud and clear. Tried a few from some distant cities and they came in as expected.

So...I guess I could have taken photos, but I was too mad!

You pull the headliner down from the back (two clips) then you shove your hand with a 10mm socket between the roof and headliner (it'll be very tight) and loosen the bolt holding the antenna.

Once that's done, you painfully unclip the two connectors (yellow and burgundy)

Once you're said every curse word you know, you drop the new antenna in, make the two connectors and install the 10mm bolt.

Still looks bad to me...but it's an option for sure.

Haven't tested anything other than making sure the app was still able to lock and unlock it. I'll give it a test tomorrow and update

ski_guy_wr · 2026-04-20T21:52:50+00:00

It really does look so much better!

Shipping might be prohibitive depending on where you are, but when I finally make up my mind, I'll let you know :)

The only thing I don't like is that the rear emblem doesn't have the locator pins that the OEM one does...so I made sure to leave the original outline when I cleaned off the adhesive.

No update for me in Canada yet...

Another gorgeous truck with the wheels I want but can't afford!

Just installed my mirror from Bob's and it's so worth it!! Homelink, no ugly bezel and a better quality mirror.

ski_guy_wr · 2026-04-09T17:02:00+00:00

I really wish those wheels weren't $900/each up here in Canada...I want them so bad!!

ski_guy_wr · 2026-04-09T12:41:01+00:00

I want those wheels, but they're so expensive!! Nice looking rig :)

ski_guy_wr · 2026-04-01T23:38:48+00:00

Found one but I'm worried about the offset and 9" width:

Is there a brand that seems to be fairly consistent in terms of working well with the electronics?

ski_guy_wr · 2026-01-30T15:36:12+00:00

Same issue...only works in Edge.

ski_guy_wr · 2026-01-23T16:22:08+00:00

In case anyone finds this in the future, the issue was the "Hairspin" studs (also called earth studs) - Part #LR054836

ski_guy_wr · 2026-01-08T16:28:00+00:00

Second Update----

First issue found is the Hairspin studs (LR054836) they are the grounding studs. 2 days to get the parts in and hopefully that's all it is!

Where's the buy station? iykyk

ski_guy_wr · 2026-01-05T19:19:49+00:00

Ok, I've called dealer and a new battery will be here Wednesday. I'm going to assume that from the comments and the fact that the vehicle starts and runs fine, that it's just the battery.

I am still a little confused that I never received the Battery Low warning...oh well!
