New KR problems.

I forgot to mention this before but the last time I drove my KR up from the Rio Grande to leave it in Houston I noticed a couple of problems.

Firstly the distance control sensor on the cruise control wasn't able to manage a consistent distance between my vehicle and the ones in front.
Usually it is around one vehicle's length for every 10 mph but I noticed that when vehicles cut in sharply in front of me the distance would not automatically reduce.
Secondly my GPS screen had started flickering when the rear view camera was switched on....anyone else noticed this?

Troy,

I've had some problems with my windshield wipers as well. The switch that clicks them on is somewhat sporadic. If you jiggle it, it will make it seem like you're switching between whipe speeds and thus, the wipers run one pass... jiggle it a little more (despite the fact that they should wait another couple of seconds to activate) they go on their own again. Mind you, it does this without actually 'clicking' the switch between delays.

Hey Lenny,

I think your prank went right over Rock's head, fewwweeeeee (sweeping hand over top of head).

My tire burst pressure indicators have never worked from day one.

Also, the torque converter waffle plane switch has been working backwards, every time I accelerate, I get a thunk out of the rear end.

The gorgous automatic car washing robot that was sent as a freebie shorted out and blew a fuse the first time she got wet. Maybe she blew a fuse after I asked her if she could.......but it didn't compute and the fuse went pop!

Last but not least, the automatic leather seat conditioner orifice has been clogged after I filled the reservoir with that cow food you told me about.

Damn Ford, can't they make this stuff work, I paid a lot of money for this crap and I'm gettin' S'Crewed.

Got it now Rock?

Later,
DaveMan

Hey Daveman...
Yes, I think you're right.

I was hoping that one would build up to a great "Gotcha" on April 1st, but looks like it missed the mark.

Anyway I better go sort out the beat frequency oscillator that has been playing up as soon as I get my hands on my truck again....not long now !!

I guess this is the point at which I go "HUH? WHAT CHOO TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS?" LMAO... Good one guys... *puts on dunce cap* I'm definately a blonde... lol Seriously guys (and Skagel), I'm not getting serious... just stressed beyond belief at the moment. I guess I'm a tad more focused. Getting ready to make a BIG career move to a new firm and I'm pulling my hair out. Basically, three of us are starting our own firm. Thus, lots at stake and getting my ducks in a row for a company is stressful beyond belief. Lots to loose...

Mike, It's the same leather on the portfolio, to my knowledge thus, I'd say it'd be A-O-K to use it. Skagel was using her's to test leather conditioners before she applied them to Tomas (sh*t, I'm calling her truck by name now...).

Hey Lent, about that frequency oscillator.... ahh, nevermind. Dave, the automatic seat conditioner. Mine's working well. I call her my wife..... LMAO She's for rent... (get your minds out of the gutter.... unless you're willing to make a payment or two on my truck... then, we may talk.)

Glad to see ya back with us Dave. Feel free to use me as the butt of the jokes. I'll be lurking...

if it is the same as the portfolio then go for it as it is the same leather as that on your seat.
