another 40 years? I doubt it. You should be good to 85 anyway.

Thank You. Thank You. I really appreciate the leg up. Stretch.

can anyone give me a number or identifyer for the TSB? Dealer draws a blank and customer service Chrysler Canada ditto. I might get a Morpar belt as a replacment for the aftermarket one but no comfort on the OAP or anything else. Curiously, my power seems down. Anyrelationship to the belt? It...

Just back from being stranded in Mt. Tremblant P. Q. Sunday. The serpentine belt frayed and lost two strands. I didn't want to chance it and stayed over at great cost. Monday got an aftermarket belt: going to the dealer tomorrow. I have a 2005 3500 with 12000 miles on it, pretty much all...

You may have hit on part of my problem, we had a transit strike here in Toronto and I was stuck in stop and go traffic but it was P... poor, not even cool really.

thanks guys. Tomorrow I will start the search for a local dealer and get it topped up.

I pull an 8000 pound car trailer with car and gear plus 1000 pounds or so in the bed. No problem at all,including serious hills. However, anticipation is key. Braking technique makes a real difference. Smooth, and lighter and early works well for me. Trailer brakes are well maintained as are the...

Cooling season just started here. 90F the last two days. It's the first time I have used the AC. It's not much good. Is that normal? It really did not cool the cab, way worse than my '97 BMW. I am a long way from the selling dealer. Thinking about taking it in. Anyone have experience with this...

I was in the dealership. Spent two hours with the salesman going over the specs. Asked for a used vehicle, he sold me up to a new one at a price. He told me it was a special rig that only he knew about. The ad was a printed ad circulated broadly. No way a solid review of their offerings would...

"The price they give you is the best price... " Well, not always guys, that's pushing it well past the point of realism. When I ordered my 2005 and committed to buy I did not know about the ads they put out. When I went back I showed the saleman a current ad for an identical unit with...

Just bought a 2005 3500. I am flunking reading the dip stick. Never had a dodge before. How are you able to tell these levels to the quart? I can't even see clearly on the stick where the markings are. Granted I have not checked it in full sunlight, its always been snowing and lower visibility.

Thanks a lot. I will check with a local dealer to see what can be done here.

Canadian Law requires them. With lights off, if I forget to turn them on, I am inviting unwelcome attention. With all the snow and mud etc the license plate from Idaho may be missed ... its hassel prevention.

Could you please explain to a novice what fcm and drb and dtr mean and where to find these wonderful settings? I have a 2005 made about march this year and need to set the daytime lights. I am in canada at the moment.

After thinking on it some more and seeing a couple of postings pro and con, I suspect thast Dave Smith's operation has reached its natural growth point, built up its costs a little to high in anticipation of further growth and is now pressured. My experience of being left waiting demonstrates a...
