Well it’s been a year to the day for me and Natasha and I can tell you the grin ear to ear is just as large as the day we met! We have a great time on dates during this time smoking tacos for entertainment.

Rick, haven't you heard that's bad for your health? ?

After almost 2 years and 18k miles my smile is starting to fade some. I love just about everything about the truck except the battery life. If I’d known I’d have to drive it an hour every day to keep it from going into deep sleep mode I would’ve thought twice about getting this truck. Dealer says battery is good, but a little weak, charges it and sends me on my way ?

I have worked in the automotive aftermarket for nearly 30 years and unfortunately three years on the original battery is very common. I suggest going to your nearest Advance Auto store and replacing your battery then all your problems will go away.

its been almost 2 yrs for me although the dealer used it as a loaner for 6 months prior to that. Actually, using the Ctek on it really helped. All the issues went away except the AS/S still doesn’t work…but then I could care less. I’m thinking if I use the battery maintainer once or twice a week I can postpone getting another battery. My B to B warranty doesn’t run out until Nov 2022 but I don’t want to chance being stuck somewhere with a dead battery just so the dealer can replace It. Being retired, this situation of not driving it enough won’t go away…but my smile is at least starting to get better!
