No "D" Club (13 Viewers)

Just happened less than a month ago, 142.2k miles.

No "D" here at 118500. It was burnt when I bought the rig at 97K miles, and it's still burnt. Imagine that! I can't say that I miss it, though. If it was as bright as the others, I think I would find it annoying. I'm generally able to figure out I'm in drive without it.

Mine was out when I bought the truck at 183K. I replaced the bulb and ended-up taking out again, for the reasons you stated. I prefer the panel w/o the "D" light.

The D light being burned out is the whole reason I sold that last truck to Kaderabek. My current truck has 148k and it just went out, so I sure hope the Woody Thwack works so I don't have to sell it too.

EDIT>>> Wonder if we could file a class action suit against Toyota?

I've bitch slapped the dash and the light came back on at 96k miles.

PS. It helps if you are wearing a wife-beater shirt instead of pink panties while slapping the cruiser

No D light in mine since I bought it at 105K (125K now). Wife's works fine at 116K. For night driving, I like mine better. I even put a receipt or park card or something in front of the bright green 'CRUISE' light because I don't like bright lights in my dash at night (dimmer turned almost off.)

YMMV

Bought mine with 252k--no D. Bumped the dash one day, got my d back but it went out again a few days later. Called Dan and bought all new lights--easy 30 minute job.

257k now.

90K and D can't decide if it wants to stay or wants to go.

 

[LX'nTX'n]

I'm at 150,000 and the D just went out, maybe a week ago.

 

[bpenn1980]

I'm almost tied with 450Cruiser for fewest miles & burned out bulb.

Got the truck at 93,200 with D light out. Doesn't bother me one bit

When I bought mine a couple years ago the D was out. Last year, I pulled the cluster and fixed it. Then about 2 weeks later I pulled the cluster and pulled the good bulb and put the burnt one back in. I couldn't take the brightness of it. If it adjusted with the instruments, I would have left it fixed.

I bought mine with 154K and no D light.

I gave it the "Technician Tap" and it was stayed on for over a year now.

 

[MARLIN375]

Bought it with 154K and no "d". Has anyone tried to replace it?

I replaced my "D"......but only because I was replacing the clear plastic cluster face (it was really bothering me looking at my CEL through a haze) after-all you do spend a 3rd of your time in the cockpit looking at your gauges.

I would suggest this to all ye who have scratches........after replacement it is like driving a brand new 80.

My D was out when I bought it at 165k.

 

[uabericm]

164,500 and D light out (don't know for how long...just bought)

However, with a smack to the dash this morning....boom we have a D light

 

[greenfox]

150,ooo

I'm at 90,000 miles and my cluster D light still works, BUT the light next to the gear selector in center counsel is out, so does that count? I just want to belong. Actually, if I give the selector a thump the light comes back on sometimes. I imagine it is pretty easy to replace, but it is way down on the to do list.

 

[stayalert]

Damn lemon (I kid I kid!)My D light reignited for a few monthes with a sharp rap....but alas the love is gone...no d for me....the lights at the shifter are intermittent now as well....~170K miles on my beloved '94

 

[Bogman]

147k no DDDDDDDD.

 

[alvarorb]

Mine went out at around 90K

Hmm, sounds like I'm in the minority. My "D" light still works and I'm at 168,000.
