It is not the cap threads making it hard to turn, it is the compressed o-ring . Shocking or yanking will just damage things. As mentioned by others a slow and steady pull on the breaker bar or long handled rachet is the only way to get it off. Just did mine yesterday, applied steadily increasing...

Update on the mil light and codes, it must have been caused by low voltage / bad battery. Haven't had any codes or pending codes since replacing the battery. Again, thanks for the responses ! Kenny

Thank you Topzide and bcbender for the response. I did replace both batteries 2 1/2 years ago. The bad battery was replaced free under warranty. Load tested both batteries, used one : before load test 12.69 v during test lowest 11.59 recovery after load test...

mil light on, p2509 , p249e and p1c54 codes. The p2509 code I think is from one battery failing and being replaced. The p249e and p1c54 are exhaust emissions related, would a plugged def injector cause them? Or is there another issue, I am ordering a def injector gasket and will check for def...

Recently had that problem, would not start with either key. Could not put it in park to load onto a rollback tow truck, they disconnected the shift cable on the trans to put it in park and load it. Ignition switch replaced at dealer, fobs reprogrammed, $1104.50 covered by extended warranty...

Really? So whats the number for that gear ratio error fault? More B.S. No codes when I took the truck in. HMMMMM, why would the clutches be black? Could it be because the oil pressure to lock up the clutch pack is rising too slow, allowing the engine to overcome it and rev up ? This trans had...

I am so glad I bought the extended warranty for my 2014 2500, 2016 noticed a rpm flare 2-300 rpm on 4 to 5 shift. Asked dealer to check it when getting oil change, no codes got the "they all do that" line. 2017 trans failed limped to dealer, valve body bolts came loose , fixed under warranty...

The problem was the ignition switch, took my spare key to the dealer for progamming to match the switch. They are still working on finding why the engine revs up 300-500 rpms while upshifting to 3rd and 4th gear, but not when shifting to 2nd , 5th or 6th. Its like applying throttle before...

Ozymandias , Will update after its fixed. gsbrockman, Yes I used a load tester to verify the multimeter volt reading. Have a OBD scan tool, it won't link to the truck, asks for the ignition switch to be turned on. See what the dealer finds.

Ozymandias, yes tried the spare key, won't activate the starter, normal lights that come on in the evic for pre start not there. Door ajar light goes out when the door is closed. gsbrockman , batteries test good. It gets towed tomorrow to the dealer, so glad I paid for extended warranty. The "...

Changed oil & fuel filters, key on & off to prime fuel system, started on second try. I let it idle for a few minutes & shut it off, cleaned up for a test drive & it won't engage the starter. The gauge needles bounce when key is turned, shows door ajar and mileage on the evic, radio doesn't...

Thank you, Keny

Could you please define what " HG and NVH" are short for? Thanks Keny

Do the new ones have to be shortened? Thank you all for the response! Keny

Thanks DavidC, that is the piece I am talking about. All 4 are buckling on the end that has the mounting screw. I think there must not be room for heat expansion , just wondering if I need to do something to a new one before I install it. Thanks for all the responses! Keny
