Topic: What did you do to your Kappa today!

Another 40 lbs in weight savings.  $400 for the pair from *bay.  I just added 1/2" think piece of aluminum to the brackets the seats come with and rebolted the seatbelts and transferred passenger seat airbag sensor. The width leaves the center storage bin barely accessible and the seat just touches the door when closed.

[Brazen17]

Norm, how comfortable are they?  Forty pounds is not a bad weight savings at all.

[kennysabarese]

Yeah any seat with the shoulder stuff will block that. My kirkeys do the same thing, but they sit a little lower than these.

[Aspenrose]

Gave it an elevated ride to the dealer, no news yet, on the diagnosis. My guess is alternator. Dead as dead, barely enough juice to get the window rolled back up. Also asked them to check out the VSS issue, and the front O2 sensor. I can only guess on what else they'll find wrong

I had an alternator replaced in my Redline. Lights started going dim while driving on the highway and got all kinds of funky messages on the dash. Scared the crap outta me.

alternator with low mileage?  Do you have extra draw on your elec. system?

[kennysabarese]

had 20k miles at the time. Only extra draw is a Radar detector and iPhone charger on fuse 18.

Seems soon for an alternator.  Has anyone else had to have it replaced?  or is this just a one off?  I assume it was all covered?

I installed my New custom lited door sills from Wnid Restrictor. ,and I know       I am taking a few when its dark enough to see them .

Well, mine isn't the alternator-said "there's a "HUGE draw" on the battery, could be those lights you put under the dash <note: 2 small led lights that are not on when key is off> and all the other extra stuff <note: windrestrictor, off w/o lights, garmin mount, off w/o garmin>, so I've got to put on a monitor overnight to see if we can find what the draw is coming from. And it's thrown a TON of codes, <note: P0131 & P138, O2 #1, and P0502 and P0503, VSS>."

Maybe a short when one of the above items were installed.

[elff]

I need to take some pictures of mine too.

[SHiNY]

I drove Reed's instead of mine

He even let me keep it overnight. He said something about washing it but I wasn't really listening.
Thank you Reed

Doubt it-WR has been on since the lighted ones first came out-2006-Garmin is only a cig plug in that has been in since 2007ish, under dash leds put in a year ago, and TPMS, Sept 2006.

My dashhawk draws power.  If I leave the car for over a week with it plugged in, it may not start, battery will be dead.

I know you don't leave your car sitting that long...

It does sound like a short, maybe one of the wires is pinched or chaffed.  Is all the add ons fused seperately?  if so you could pull the fuse on each and see what happens over night.

[DickW]

Got my GXP inspected.  Installed a Mercury tilt switch for my hood light. No I did not get it from Joes.

This has been discussed on the dashhawk forums before, the newest firmware(2.5 i think) has the least power draw when its off, nothing you can really do about it but to disconnect it.

[Critterman]

Exactly Shabby, if it is going to sit, you have to disconnect.

[SHiNY]

If it is going to sit, you have to disconnect.

Are we still talking dashhawks?

:rofl:You are funny, that's why we love you!

Any word on your hood?

  I love you too Critter    Is it okay if everyone knows now? 

I stopped by on Friday and the new one hadn't come in yet. I did ask the question on the deal with the damage and I was told that it seems that GM sent the first one damaged because there was no damage to the packaging. The second one not so sure about. Apparently some body shops accept them damaged and just ask for money off to fix them themselves rather than sending  them back. My guy refuses the damaged ones or sends them back. He says there is no reason to accept a damaged hood.

In case anyone is wondering he used to be best friends with my brother and I was best friends with his until he passed, so yeah, I trust his judgement completely.

It's okay though, Reed gave me his for the past two days!    I told him not to worry and that I was being very careful 

[Critterman]

naw let the world know.  I love the picture, did you post it on facebook too?

[elff]

Did you mass email the local deer so they know as well?

[SHiNY]

Critter, I'm glad we don't have to keep it secret anymore

Elff - I sent one mass text message with picture attached so they knew who to look out for
