[QUOTE="Ross Newton, post: 1028683, member: 69409"] I'm right at 150K miles. Just an update: So the radio power kept failing and the clicking kept getting worse and finally my battery light came on, so I tested it. It was the alternator. Replaced that myself and the radio-power failing and clicking went away... it's no longer losing power, so that must have been happening because of the alternator. The dashboard is still wacky though - dials are all over the place. The fuel gauge almost never works and now the seatbelt bell and light ring for about five minutes straight every time I start the truck... very annoying! At least it stops after a few minutes. It's like the dashboard is slowly deteriorating. :banghead: I may try to pull it out and send it away. [/QUOTE]
