Did you get one for the rear license frame assembly ,BIGMaC ? It takes a couple weeks to order.

 

[BiGMaC]

Didn't get one for the rear license lamp. I think they are trying to confine that to places with a lot of snow/rain/chemicals on the roads...


But I will mention the TSB and the corrosion I cleaned out of the right side... Try to get a 2fer.

BTW, no halfshaft symptoms noted

Tell them about the sand storms out your way, BiGMaC!  That stuff gets in everything!

Here's a shot of a recent habboob as we call them… yea Manu, the dust gets in and through everything and reduces visibility to near zero… but i fear it won't get me a new license plate light. The wall of dust is about 1500' tall.

You pull a u - turn and gun it...is that dust cloud faster than the SHO?

moves about 40mph…. but doesn't stop for gas or red lights LOL

Best is often to pull way off the road and turn off your lights.

 

[SHOnUup]

How often they roll through?

 

[BiGMaC]

Dust storms are pretty common... Vary with time of year.. Maybe average 1-2/month... But a true habboob only 1-2x/ year here... Between Phx and Tucson at least twice that.  Reminds us how small we are in the scheme of things! LOL

 

[SHOnUup]

Just started seeing them on the news a couple years ago. Did they always occur and I just wasn't aware or is it more frequently happening now why it's been covered?

 

[SHOnUup]

We have 2 driving seasons here in Michigan. Ice and snow, and the orange barrel season.

Actually always hapened... here's a video... in the middle part you get a close-up of the airport disappearing...
