Whose truck worked great today?

[Wendy]

I don't have as many miles as some, and mine is only a 24, but so far so good. The only 'issue' I have is a slight rattle when it's warm outside that is coming from the passenger side, and because the cabin is so big, I can't really reach over to figure out where it's coming from. Once the cabin cools off it goes away. Need to get my wife in one day when it gets hot out again.

Check the triangle of plastic on the door where the passenger mirror connects. Mine rattles sometimes and others have mentioned that.

Are you talking about outside The truck? Mine is definitely inside the cab.

Hmm, well mine isn’t coming from the mirror at the sunvisor. I looked and I’m not sure where this triangle is. It does seem to be coming closer to where the door trim is. Is there any pics? And if mine is the same, any fixes?

This guy noted the same thing, a rattle but only in certain temperatures - he found it was the snap clips that hold the in-side door skin to the door...see at 6:39 he shows you the location of the rattle in his Lightning - which was the DS door, but the same issue could be any door.
Then he shows what he did to fit it.

Thank you for the link and time stamp. Been wondering where a slight rattle was coming from. If I ever get motivated to tackle that project, now I know what to do.

Back on topic. I just realized I crossed the 10,000 miles mark with my truck. 10,000 miles of smiles.

Inside. Hard plastic cover where maybe you access the mirror. I’ve read the tabs that snap in are not snug. Or needs a ‘gasket’ to stop the rattle. I have my wife gently push it and the rattle stops.

I had to go to Ohio (270 miles ish) for a business trip this week and I procrastinated too much to get a rental so I ended up taking the Lightning.

The biggest drama was where I had to backtrack 7 miles because someone decided that $0.73 / kWh was reasonable and in BFE Ohio beggars have limited options.

Other than that, completely uneventful.
Strong head/side winds, used BC 1.4 all the way and I'm kind of impressed. No hunting, no ping pong, no nothing. You let your eyes wonder and BC reminds you to pay attention, not in an annoying "OMG you BLINKED" kind of way, but more in a "hey bud, eyes on the road" and there was zero lag once you "eyes fwd" looked back.
