Mine came with it so I didnt have a choice but I think back to the first (and second and third etc.) times I put it in reverse with my door open and the look on my face (scared the ****e out of me) and then thinking of those who (dealer) put it on and what there first reaction was / is.
Mine came with it also and I have never heard of that option. The first time it happened I was backing up to a trailer, needed a few more inches so i jumped in, door open, hit reverse and it started beeping like a ****. I put it in park, jumped out and just stared at it like the damn thing was possessed. The buddy helping me laughed his *** off because of the look on my face. Makes me wish he had a camera.

Reading this takes me back to the first time it happened to me and I still find myself laughing about it! There's a radio-off delay? Are other optional features like this listed in the manual? Yeah I know, I really should read it cover to cover but I only hit on the high points so far like maintainance.

Just a few questions
I have a 6spd Man Trans and was wondering if the daytime running lights can still be activated on my truck.

What is needed and where can I fint the parts to make the High Idle work with the man trans?

And is the dealer the only one that can turn these features on?

Thanks

ORIGINAL: Mayfair

None that I'm aware of, but you might want to ask if the dealer is going to activate the back up alarm BEFORE you take it in. I remember hearing here that once it's done, it can't be UN-done, and the the dealer isn't always up front about letting you know that they are going to do it.

Mayfair, You may already know this but thought I would share, If you have your door open in Rev. to prevent the horn from going off just keep your foot on the brake a little bit. I found this out when I let off the brake baking up hahahahaha.

I would have to think thier is a wire comming off the door to the brake assembly telling it the door is open. If we could find a wiring digram we could fix this thing. hehehe

Thanks for the heads up, but I don't think anybody's looking to jam my 98 up with the alarm.

A $9 relay and some wire will fix your back up alarm problem. With a DPDT relay you can even honk your horn (if you wanted to) while backing up.

Had the high idle enabled - $46.00

It's great, works like a charm.

Tech' could not enable the radio feature - said it was not available on this truck?

Did not do Day Time Lights, as I like to drive with the park/fog lamps on in the day, tech' said if enabled it would be headlights too?

Avoided the terrible back up alm' , but DC did want to know if I had received the TSB notification. Whe I said I had not he seemed rather relieved??????

Edit: DC wanted between $57.00 and $80.00 to do a fuel filter change plus the cost of the filter $29.00, then add Uncle Sam's .
I will be visiting at Geno's later!!
