OMG, those original Riv's were beautiful! A neighbor had a silver one with black leather. True boat of a car in the best Detroit tradition. Amazing style and never ending chrome.

After reading your excellent write up, I appreciate the body color mirrors that came on my 22 Lariat EB even more. Sadly, they cheaped out and the 24 Lariat hybrid that replaced my 22 has gloss black. I like painted. Oh well...

To add to what Dad wrote, I found a 2 piece 3/4" round LED that are two way [side marker AND turn signal function] on Amazon made by True Mods for $9.00. The URL is toooo long to copy/paste here. I will also add that it is unnecessary to remove the side emblem. I used a sharp 3/4" paddle bit...

On my Lariat hybrid, I did not need resistors for either the side marker connection nor the turn signal which on the Lariat, are LED. [The 3/4" 2 way marker and turn signal 3 wire light assembly I used is LED] 2 pack purchased on Amazon for $9.59. Don't worry that these are amber. The color...

Dad = right on. Building on the experience of you and others, I appended my custom side marker light/blinker build a couple of days ago. To the OP, my underlying goal was that I wanted an OEM look. The 3D printed lenses from GadCAD 3D [$24 including shipping on Etsy] are the foundation of the...

Thank you! I didn't think to look in the manual under "jump start" which is the image you provided from pg 286. I got stuck on "battery" pg 315. Many thanks. I will attach my trickle charge battery tender to those terminals under the hood.

QUESTION re: trickle charge a 2024 hybrid: I've looked in the owners manual, I've looked under the hood and I cannot find a red terminal cover under the hood or anything that looks like a post to attach the + terminal to a trickle charger. Could you guide me to it, it is probably hidden in plain...

Back in the day, my dad had a 1972 Buick with a "speed minder" feature. You set it manually and it buzzed if you exceeded the set speed. It was mechanical of course, you turned something and a pointer rotated to indicate the setting. But you could exceed the setting, you either had to endure...

Speaking to the Federal level, there is no justification that Amazon paid 6% in 2023, GM paid 5.4% in 2023 [higher is previous years however] except the lobbyists get the ear of legislators and you and I can't afford to hire one. I paid at a rate of 23%. Life just ain't fair! :cry:

RE: 150 ft lb = THX and OMG, that is even worse than I thought. No wonder people are writing that the pathetic lug wrench included with the truck is unsuitable.

Agreed 100%- for normal use, on paved roads I don't go that high either. Also, the risk of warping things if carelessly torqued that high . Not to mention how hard it is to remove [even with anti seize!]

Hi and sorry that the parts list requires downloading the Word doc. Lens: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GadCad3D On the site, scroll down and you will see the image of the lenses. They are well done. My write up has some tips for the process. Of note, it does not require removing the emblem to...

This is why you and I pay so much in taxes: Amazon reported record profits of more than $35 billion (75 percent higher than its 2020 record haul) and paid just 6 percent of those profits in federal corporate income taxes. If Amazon had no tax breaks, it would have paid 21 percent of its profits...

RE: This is all the truck I need = my conclusion exactly. Which makes it all the more puzzling as to why Toyota, Dodge and GM aren't all over it. The Santa Cruz doesn't have enough bed utility for me even if it can tow more in base models.

Shop around. Here in SoCal my two reputable source for tires are Costco and Discount Tire. They are located throughout the state so if a problem occurs on a road trip, it is possible to find service. I have taken the Costco price to Discount and asked them to beat it and they did. My son...

Not to mention all the bugs Cyber owners are dealing with. I love my Mav!

A big THANK YOU to Sarah and Tim for sharing so much info. When I was having a purchase problem with my local crap dealer, Sarah responded to my email with helpful info which I am forever grateful for. Quality people.

Good reminder, much appreciated. I have been putting this off. It is now on my list. My understanding is the lug nuts torque is 110 pounds? That said, I have been blessed, lucky or both not to have a flat on the road in XX years. That made me complacent. But training never hurts.

RE: Do homework... YES! When people order or buy off the lot, ask for an ITEMIZED AND PRINTED out-the-door price BEFORE you agree to buy. If the dealer won't do that or makes excuses then walk away. All this can be done by email before you set foot on the dealer's lot. You are spending...

RE: Link for 3 wire lights = unfortunately the url was too long so you must do a search either on Amazon or the company name, True Mods, they have a website. What I like about these lights is first, they are two way and second, they have an SAE rating. The turn signal function is brighter than...
