| When u got new wheels, who ever changed the wheels should of given you the serial numbers off the 4 new sensors. with the serial numbers take it to service so they can input the serial numbers into your computer, had a customer he bought cheap wheels and factory sensors would not fit, so he had to buy aftermarket wheel sensors for tpms. The wheels he bought did not have slot in wheel to install factory sensors, so had to go aftermarket sensors. So the cheap wheels ended being alittle more than what he wanted to pay for. |

The TPS light is still on. It don't bother me no more. Maybe one day it will just burn out and I will never see it again.  _________________ IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. |

I had the 4 new wheel sensors. We installed them at my shop. What I did not realize is that you needed the serial numbers from the sensor themselves to program. I thought that all you needed to program them was a scanner. I am not going to take apart the tire/wheel just to get numbers off the sensors. I check tire pressure regularly, so I just ignore the light. _________________ IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. |

I had my own install session this afternoon. I had a pair of Wet Okole seat covers that I had ordered for my car last year that never got put on. After playing Twister under the steering wheel for nearly 30 minutes trying to get the straps under the seat hooked up, I just took out the seat! Made the job so much easier. Could have done the two front seats in 30 minutes if I had just taken out the seats in the first place. Plus I wouldn't have a sore back and scraped knuckles.  _________________ IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. |

Yes, he's getting to old and out of shape, but he loves doing it, enjoys every bit of it. He had a back massage and 2 motrin. Sad to say he did it all by himself. Figuered everyone else is helping everyone else. _________________ Trust in the Lord with all your heart! Phil. 4:19 |

Was kind of a last minute install. Had some time so I figured put um on. Never came accross a seat cover this hard to install. Or maybe because I am getting old and out of shape?  _________________ IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. |

Installed a lot of seat covers before, but this one was one of the hardest so far.  _________________ IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. |

What made this install harder is all the wires and connectors under the seat. For the side air bags and seat belt warning system. Had to run the straps around all that stuff and to make sure the straps don't get caught while sliding the seat back and forth. Also had to make sure none of the electrical wires and connectors got pinched by the elastic straps. What a pain. But I got it done.  _________________ IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. |

Did another quick mod yesterday. Installed the Blu Logic handsfree phone system in my box. Was plug and play. The hardest part was tucking all that wiring back into the radio hole nicely so that radio would fit back in without smashing wires. System works great. Gotta get ready for the cell phone ban come July 1st.
Thanks to envygreen at Servco for hooking me up.  _________________ IF IT DOESN'T INVOLVE YOU, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. |
