    Drivers Door Doesn't Unlock with Remote, Keypad, Button

    That was going to be my first suggestion as well. Although being the electrician I am I would check all of my plug connections first to insure something hasn't come loose over the years. The window buttons stopped working on my expys driver door one day and it turned out to be a loose plug. But...

    Drivers Door Doesn't Unlock with Remote, Keypad, Button

    Do all of the other doors unlock as they should with the remote, driver side keypad, and inside controls?

    2006 Stereo Harness issue - Crutchfield Stereo Replacement (double din)

    I know what you mean about the flicker. My passenger side headlamp flickers when the truck is off periodically. I have had to replace the bulb once already. Lifetime warranty thankfully. Next time it burns itself up I may switch over to HID for the lows and leave the LED in the highs since most...

    2006 Stereo Harness issue - Crutchfield Stereo Replacement (double din)

    My LED turn signals speed up once in a while too. Don't get me started on the issues I had getting my LED headlights to function properly.

    2006 Stereo Harness issue - Crutchfield Stereo Replacement (double din)

    This is the harness I got when I ordered my new stereo for my 2006 Limited. As you can see it has the step down plug in it. Whoever sold you your kit did you a disservice or made a mistake. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_249FD60L/Crux-SWRFD-60L-Wiring-Interface.html

    Side mirror fix.

    The control for the power mirrors is the same know that you use to adjust the mirror. Place the selector in the center position and then toggle it down (Like you are adjusting the mirror down) and they will fold in. Mine had issues when I got it but I said screw it as I never really have a need...

    Fuel Milage

    I have an 06 Limited that averages around 15MPG. Wondering if anyone with a second gen is getting anything better than that and if so have you done any modifications to achieve a higher MPG. Thanks in advance.

    Back yard mechanic fail

    If it were me and I had $3000 available to spend I'd spend it on upgrading to something newer and saying the heck with the old truck.

    Adjustable Pedals broken?

    You should have around 3" of travel from all the way against the firewall to all the way out. If they don't move that far then you probably have a broken sprocket.

    2004 longevity

    I have an 06 limited that just turned 199,000. No tick from the motor. I run full synthetic in it and have the oil changed at the dealer every 5000 miles. Although this time around it is about 2000 overdue because I have been working 6 12 hour days for a few months. Going in next Saturday.

    How hard is it to take apart one of the doors?

    You were fortunately much more polite than I would have been had I seen and responded to this thread first. I like you am beating my head against the desktop as I think about bungee cords to hold a hood shut.

    Instrument Cluster lights

    So you have any photo's? Kind of curious what it would look like. Did you change all the other lights on the dash as well? AC / Radio / Door buttons etc? How much did it cost to have done. I was kind of hoping for a bright white like the newer expys and trucks have.

    200,000 mile service

    I had already planned on plugs and coil packs. She's starting to develop the dreaded stutter. All the other items you list make sense. Wonder if I should flush/service the tranny too?

    Instrument Cluster lights

    Funny, I always thought it would be cool to do a Diesel swap on a second gen. Wonder if that is even possible?
