The speedometer (PSOM) has been calibrated to 8.64 for the 33" tires, so MPG calculations should be more accurate now. If MPG remains low, the likeliest causes would be alignment, low tire pressure, ignition timing (which has been corrected now), and the aftermarket open-element air filter. Cruise control works, but the safety recall on the SCDS has not been performed. There has been no rain to check for leaks or the wipers, but they appear to work. At some speeds and engine loads, there is a drumming vibration in the cabin, possibly due to tire balance or flat-spotting, improper driveshaft angle, broken engine mounts, collapsing body mounts, improperly-mounted nerf bars, or any combination of those & other latent problems. The engine performance was anemic, but after correcting the ignition timing, it is much-improved. The wind noise is minor, and there are no obvious interior rattles. The t/g window speed is OK. Since the AC evaporator & blower cleaned and motor oiled, the air temperature at the dash registers is noticeably lower (around 47 degrees parked at idle). The only DTCs were 212 (SPOUT open, probably due to ignition timing adjustment) & 542 (fuel pump open - no apparent cause), which are now cleared. (The Check Engine Light is not working.) The only 4WABS code is 16 (system PASS). The instrument cluster lens is OK, and the cluster is generally clean.
