I see Canadian vehicles here in tx. Doubt itl be much different. Just the daytime running lights and small stuff that shouldn't be a problem

Well, they don't come on in the daytime unless I turn them on myself... I guess they could be daytime lights lol.

By the way, the Tahoe is fixing to be put on a boat back to the best damn country in the world! Lol. Now I just have to wait till I get it and see what the total cost is gonna be for maintenance/repairs. It seems like the list is getting bigger:

New tranny, or replace the valve body
Fix the serious vibration/shaking when I hit 60+ MPH
Possible front and rear main seal oil leak
Rough idling
Possibly new tires
Inner CV boots replaced
Fix the A/C
Coolant leak from intake manifold hose
Convert the rear tail lights and reverse lights back to American standards
And, probably replace the exhaust manifold gaskets. I think I have an exhaust leak

That's it for now, I'm sure something else will come up. Keep in mind, she's only got a little over 70k miles on her. It's pretty obvious that the Japanese owner before me completely neglected her....

unknown at this time.
your drl module or its relay might just have gone bad somehow. spares are available. what happens with the drl light on dash when ignition is on and you switch between headlights?

btw, how much is the transport from japan? do you ride on the same boat. details.

I don't know what lights up on the dash. The only thing that lights up is the hi beams when they are on...

Also, I don't know what it cost to ship to the states. The military pays for it. And no, I'm not on the boat when it leaves. I'm Air Force, I fly. Lol. No, I'm having them ship it a little early. I actually leave Japan in 3 weeks. Can't wait!

Well, hopefully they won't fail my inspection because of it.... Or deem it non conforming

But, it won't get to Texas until the beginning of October so I have a while to wait.
