My tailgate down warning is Reverse gear when the backup camera shows my hitch ball.

I've used full syn for over 23 yrs., over 300K miles with no issues. Our newer FCA/Mopar vehicles specify it. I changed our Ranger's oil the first two times and rotated the tires myself. I said heck with that the last time and had a good local indy shop do it. My syn oil and WIX filter. $39 for...

OP here. Interesting comments. I'll see if I can find the service bulletin mentioned above.,,, If anyone has the SB #, I'd appreciate it. My pedal travel hasn't changed. ...down to, or just below the accelerator pedal. An extra quick pump raises the pedal a bit. ...air I think. I haven't tried...

Don't know which Jeep model you cite, but our Cherokee is/was up to snuff in my mind. We gave it to our daughter with full confidence when we got our Ranger. All vehicle suspensions, including our beloved Rangers, have elastomer sway bar, suspension arm, strut mount, jounce bumpers, and other...

An an aluminized folding windshield screen helps a lot when I park it outside at our river house. I'd guess around 10-15 deg improvement. Once I get going the A/C holds up well, even over 90 deg. But we have the SuperCab, easier to cool. The dog doesn't seem to care from the jump seat. ....he's...

Our 2019 makes me glad I bought it every time I get in it. Zero complaints. ....one of the best vehicles I've owned.

Good to hear. ...saved me from starting a new post. I need to travel 230 miles to pick up Boral siding and return. Trailer and load will be around 6600#. 16' 2500# rental tandem flat bed trailer w/surge brakes. I pull my 4000# boat/trailer and don't know it's back there....except for the...

I recall reading a post from a Tesla fanboy hooplehead bursting his buttons about how he rigged an alternator to a drive wheel to charge on the go. ...The first law of thermodynamics (ie: perpetual energy machines are a myth) seems to escape Teslaentology cult members.

Level 2 40A 240V chargers aren't too expensive. <$700 for plug in charger. If you are handy, and stay under the inspector's radar, you can wire your panel for a few hundred more. ....get an electrician/permit involved and add $1000. I'm set at both our main home and our river house. I have 8 ga...

I haven't been following you. ...seems we're on the same side here.

Yawn. EV mfgrs, starting with Tesla, tout their performance. Others mention performance and range. Erm, that is performance OR range. EV drive motors produce tremendous, flat curve torque. But power is power, hp or kWh. And they are thirsty either way. Very thirsty at max output. Put the above...

My EV thoughts: They have their place. Mostly mid size or less passenger vehicles. Power requirements, driven in "chill mode" will allow decent range for the average driver's use. If you get one around $30K it could pay for itself in gas savings.....after a long life. ...don't forget to include...

Sharing some learning here. I totally buggered the plastic trim rivets for the rubber flap over the oil filter. I found the parts diagram, but the call outs for the plastic rivets didn't have a p/n. So I called the dealer and ordered some. $8.54 ea. Surprise? p/n W715694-S300. On my second...

...haven't read the previous six pages. But here is my heater box story: Mice. Two summers ago I noticed a loud fluttering when I turned on A/C high. Under warranty, so I farted it off and kept the fan speed lower. ..no prob. Past summer I heard a pop when I started the truck. MIL came on...

I don't remember the process being too clunky. I loaded the manual on a previous laptop and realized that I needed to set Internet Explorer (Now Edge) set as my default browser. Earlier this month I loaded the CD on a newer laptop with Edge as my default. I don't recall any unzipping needed...

I bought Covercraft Endura for our Supercab. I'm very satisfied. ....rear jump seat covers weren't available in 2019 when I bought the fronts. I purchased and installed the rear covers this summer. A 12" nylon strap with a Velcro/hook & loop pull tool is included to help with installation

I believe the 'mechanical' manual is CD only. It also looks like it will only work with Windows. I did not know my CD included the full paper electrical manual, so I ordered this manual also. That was a bit of an expensive bummer, but then I remembered the ease of paper when tracing circuits...

I wondered if the intake swallowed a part of a leaf or other trash. I got as far as knowing where the cabin filter hsg is located, but wasn't in the mood to dig any deeper on a 90+degree day. If the noise returns I'll dig into it, or have the dealer do it. Years ago I disassembled the entire...

FYI here. My Helm CD technical manual required Internet Explorer to drive the program. IE is now history and I was a little concerned about being able to use the CD manual. Microsoft edge has a setting that allows content that requires IE to open/run. ...it works fine, but you have to set Edge...

Interesting problem. Last summer (2nd summer for my 2019) I turned the blower up to max on a very hot A/C day. I noticed the fan made an unusual rumbling noise at the higher two speeds. No abnormal noise on heat or vent. ...little good comes from a new noise. I did purchase a Flood Ford 7/75...
