    Turn the key to the right 7 times. Don’t start it, wait 15 seconds between turns. Sometimes it takes 2 sets of turns to reset the computer. I’ve had to do it twice when I had my KW.

    "Do a key reset" is Shop for, "we don't know how to fix that."

    I finally figured out that it's like when tech geeks talk about "power cycling" a computer.

    "Power cycle" is tech geek for "turn it off and turn it on again."

    I did just that and the gauges lit up.

    Now I'm sitting in a cold truck because 35F is apparently just a bit too warm to justify allowing me to idle. Oh how I miss my Volvo right about now and its ability to override the auto-shutdown.

    Anybody know how to turn on the bunk heater in this thing? I thought I had it, but I'm just getting cool air out of the vents.

    Look for something like that. Theoretically it provides heat for a few hours if the truck is off but if you never use it that #### thing smells like diesel fumes and fire ash.
    Personally, I'd rather die a popsicle than go out huffing that crap.

    I've got one of those, but it doesn't seem to work. Pressing those buttons does nothing. No LCD readouts, no blinkenlights, nada.

    Isn’t that the place that’s so full of junk we can’t turn around in a full sized Truck???

    Sounds like a job for a Local or our Yard Dog.

    Not that you didn’t know... I don’t either.
    Just the way you said it made me smile.
