Steering Wheel Replacement

That will do it. I've put 100s of airbags in doing repair work without ever disabling the system or even having the batteries disconnected.

I ABSOLUTELY would never recommend that to anyone, but the system isn't as sensitive as most people think.

Biggest thing to avoid is poking around the airbag wires with a power probe or ground. That has potential to set a bag off.

Disconnecting the plug itself even powered is less of a chance.

Ive been in three wtecks in truck with bags and have yet to see one deploy. We azzpacked a escort zx2 with an 07lbz and nothing. 08lmm....same scenario. No deployment. It even bent up the bumper on that one. My 12 lml was involved in a pretty good wreck. Whole front end was smashed. Grill, bumoer,hood etc...fenders even. No airbag deployed. The van it hit had airbags all over the place.

Does all your old Chevy trucks have those airbags that are being recalled?

Not when I owned them. The dealer did the maintenance on all of those. If there was a recall, they addressed it.

Only truck that wasnt a maintenance pig was my 2014 3500 srw. The others were all pretty heavy on the pocket maintenance wise. The lbz ran good but the front end was always messed up. Chewing up tires. Had two frontends at 170k miles.

Ok. That's fvckin funny...and likely true.

I hated EMT's when I was on the Hook and Ladder in Mystic, CT. They take one class with FF's and think they're experts at all things fire related... Just because they show up to MVA's and get to see real work being done, they figure they need to add their two cents because no one was injured but they have to stay on site anyways...

All fire fighters are trained as EMT's first in a paid company, and the only EMT's that have any FF courses end up just getting certified and getting out of the EMT business because the pay is crap, the hours are worse, and it's 90% old people falling down that makes up the bulk of your calls.

So yeah taking advice from an EMT on anything that isn't EMT related, is like listening to a Ricer tell you how your diesel truck should be tuned.

Lol. I'm gonna have to tell my son this. He's going to take his EMT class this fall.

I just pulled the fuse (per the service manual) then popped the horn button/airbag off. 3 wire loops to undo, then can u bolt the wheel. I would say hour at the most to do the job.
