Default impressive - it knew blinker was out

after reading ramulaks "compliments" post i was inspired to write another positive post.

while driving down the highway on monday i was surprised by evic beeping and displaying "your right rear blinker is out" ... and then when i turned it on sure enough blinker was blinking fast. i am pretty impressed that it can tell that and display the information.

right at 68,000 miles, i guess i got my moneys worth out of that bulb.

also, apparently to reinforce the "always replace in pairs" saying, the left brake brake like went out and gave the same message yesterday.

Your truck knows many, many things.

Threadbomb...maybe you have a short somewhere. Kind of weird to actually have both lights go out within days of each other...

Not that uncommon at all.

I'm right at 68,000 myself. Warranty is getting close eh? Any way, I have gone through three different tail lights and a third brake light on the cab bulb as well. Still on my same headlights though. There! I have officially jinxed myself now. And LOL my truck thinks it knows my tires are low, but they are not! Ha Ha! Just my rims don't have any TPMS in them.

At about 50,000 miles my left tail light went out. Within a thousand miles or so the other one went out as well. Very easy to change and surprisingly cheap.
