Glad you got it sorted out Mike. Great color choice BTW.

Just did a tire and wheel swap. Out with the Blizzaks and back on with the KO2s

Hi Gavin,
Have you done any of the CCF upgrades as offered by Mark in LA or any other source? $1000 seemed steep for a single feature, but he's offering a full menu for that one price. I really would like to have Adaptive Cruise Control, activating the Matrix headlight feature, Advanced towing, etc. I've seen posts where members in a local area will pool together for his travel and do a number of trucks at once. Interested?
Mike

A couple of thoughts on this (understanding you did not direct your questions to me). I've had the activations performed by someone other than Mark in LA for considerably less $$ (I live on the east coast). I had many things activated or modified in ACC, Dynamic Mode, Auto Stop / Start etc.

I don't think you can have the matrix lighting activated unless you have installed the actual matrix lights. I think advanced towing requires a towing ECU (ordered your truck with towing) to be implemented.

Not sure where you live but DM me if you'd like to learn more.

There are some other members in the area (one in Kirkland also) that are interested in this vendor's services. I wouldn't be inclined to go this route. ACC is something I'd like to add at some point though.

Thanks for the reply - I finally got it solved with cycling the latch handles a few time and a hard press down. Am guessing the original owner may have never folded the seats! Cheers.

Had my wheels rebalanced today. #RockandRollLyfe. Apparently the guys at Costco nearly puked when they saw how imbalanced all 5 were. I'd lost a few weights. They had debonded from the alloy.
Fitting wheel-weights on these wheels on the p400 is tighter than a fish's backside so rocks/gravel/mud may have taken some too.

The ride feels so much better now. I was getting a little shudder in the steering wheel at highway speeds. Tis no more

Had the same solid bloke coordinate things. He remembered fitting these to the rims back in November. He like a spot of wheeling himself so was very approving of the KO2s

Massive blizzard hitting the mountains right now. It's a dump-fest. Excited to see how they do tomorrow.

That cold air intake system is nice! I imagine you’ll get much louder wonderful induction sounds!

Yep, when you step on it , you get a distinct sucking sound/whistle. , might not be for everyone but I love it, thanks for the compliment

I used to have this sound when I had a GLE450 and I kinda liked it.
