Roger that friend, I'll remember it indeed. Funny that "full time four wheel drive" is a relative term.

Also keep in mind Pat that when those lights are on you do NOT have ABS.


Hows that roof rack working out for you so far? Got your ladder installed yet?

i know this is stated as fact by everyone but i beg to differ.

i have the 3 amigos and my HDC and my ABS system are both working properly. I am not sure about the TC i will test that out today. maybe i have a one shot out of the ordinary deal going on....

I ahve found that 90% of people who have the 3 amigo's do not have ABS, so it is just easier to say no you wont when you may or may not and then to try and explain why or why not and blah blah blah and I get tired...

i was talking to my local dealer and he said the same thing. oh that means your ABS is not working. i was like actually it is working... luckily my main concern is not the ABS but getting new LED's soldered on to my old console as the PO broke out the three amigo LED's because he didnt know how to fix it. and apparently for anyone thinking of replacing your cluster. unless its brand new $1200 one from the dealer it won't work. Once the mileage is programmed once it can never be programmed again. It will just blink at you forever if its from a parted vehicle....

Thats not true, your dealer just does not want to do it or does not know how.

doesnt know how sounds more like it. will ask my indie shop this week or try the other local dealer.... it was funny bcause i went in there and asked and the head service rep said we dealt with this before. and we couldnt do it. then they brought out one of the head techs and he told me the story bout not bein able to program it twice.

guess not. the head rep actually referred me to a mechanic down the street who specialies in electronics and said that he has seen him rewire curcui boards on clusters before... guess they honestly have no clue
