How is the new expansion tank hose holding up? I also have a very slow leak and am hoping that a replacement hose takes care of it instead of having to either modify with the pegasus kit or replace the tank too.

It's only been a few days so hard to say. I ended up needing to top it off some after I ran it - I don't think this is due to still having a leak, but rather it's just usually needed after you flush the system. I've been checking it daily and all seems well.
I let the whole system drain - about 2 gallons (without removing the lower hose,) before I removed the overflow bottle hose. That was plenty as to not have a leak once the hose was removed.
I did a flush (a few times) and because the block just had mostly water I put back in 1.2 gallons of concentrate coolant w/ about .3 of water. At the top offs I've done a mixture of about 70/30 and have the system to about -15 / -20.
As I get closer and closer to my mileage matching up to the new LCD gauge cluster, about 13 miles to go, I went ahead and switched out the left hand steering wheel buttons. SLIGHTLY nerve wracking having to remove the airbag, but all went well and new buttons are in place.
I have a busy work week so I won't be able to get in and deal with any messages, such as the 4x4 error, but hopefully I'll get to play around with FORscan and see all I can do.
I'll post of pics after 13 miles.
I matched up the mileage perfectly, down to the tenth; 78,136.5. I now have transmission temp and off road angles. Not sure what I can turn on using FORscan, but I'm going to check out the thread where I learned about this gauge swap.
I still need to hook FORscan up to it to get rid of the check 4x4 wrench, but very pleased with the outcome.
I need to replace the right hand steering controls because every once in awhile volume up changes the radio station. Then I'm just jamming out to the wrong song.
I put some new tires on, I picked them up from a guy who just bought a new Chevy and it "needed" bigger tires. $150 for all 4 w/ 150 miles on them. Sold my old tires, which still had some life left on them for $40 and made out like a bandit.
I haven't put many miles on my new digital cluster, been busy working and the hatchback has better MPG. I've been rocking a steady 16.4 MPG in the truck though.
We bought a house and it's always good to have a friend with a pick-up. (: It's come in handy.

Let me know if replacing the right button controls fixes the volume up issue. My 2013 is currently doing the same thing, seems to do it randomly. And of course I'm turning up the volume to listen to a song I like, and then it skips to something else.

I found a thread where it's been referred to as a common issue so I have no doubt it will solve the issue, I just wish it would have happened when I changed out the left hand switches that were needed to control the digital cluster. Having the take the air bag out again is a bit...daunting. Part is on the way though!
Mine does that as well. I had a thread about it, just haven't ordered the switches....truth be told, I'm ok with it. I listen to auxiliary or blue tooth anymore. Radio has too many commercials nowadays.
