    Update on my wife

    I’m so sorry you and your wife are going through this. I hope she makes a full recovery super fast. I’m local if you need anything. Don’t hesitate to contact me.

    Oil change guage not resetting

    I had troubles with this the other day. Turns out I was holding the right arrow button when “cancel” was selected instead of “reset.” You have to hold the right arrow button to get into the reset screen. Then scroll until reset is highlighted. Then press the right arrow button again.

    High charging voltage

    They’ll corrode internally and cause high resistance. The computer is “looking” at one battery while the alternator charges the other. The crossover cable is supposed to keep things balanced. A quick and easy resistance check may not show the problem.

    High charging voltage

    I’d be checking your crossover cable. These are notoriously bad for causing issues such as this.

    Broken Tailgate Cap

    Genoa’s has a replacement cap that’s extended and doesn’t have the lip that holds water.

    Serviced the ‘18 today. A few notes.

    Do we have any members who prefer to do it through the front? Perhaps the driver's side? I'm interested in knowing the strategies y'all would use. Any members who prefill their filters using osmosis or injection so they don't go near the holes?

    Some like it from the side, others on top, and strangely enough, there are plenty who can do it from the bottom. It's a crazy world we live in. ;)

    I’ve been a mechanic all my life. Worked on all sorts of equipment to enormous industrial turbines to tiny engines to helicopters. I work on elevators for a living now. This “install by Braille” bit is understandable to me for those who may not be all that mechanically inclined. But the nipple...

    The only oil loss I encountered was from loosening and removing the old filter. It’s completely full and hard not to have it over-run the rim a bit as evident by the pics I posted. The new filter was filled within 1/2”, no spills. On my next oil change, I’ll demonstrate one more time. I’ll...

    I bought mine from a dealer literally on a Floridian eastern coast beach. It had sat there for a year before I bought it. I got a good deal on it because of that. If I had a lift..... I’d make some of that rust disappear quicker than new funnels appear at Snoking’s place.

    Try it sometime. Then you’ll see. It’s not difficult, really. I prefill my filter to about 1/2” from completely full. Then the cap goes on. Once in the fender well and standing upright, unscrew the cap. The hardest part of the whole thing, and this isn’t really hard, is walking the full filter...

    You have to be one with the oil. If you don’t have a good working relationship with it, you could be in for a bad time.

    I use a grease needle. In fact I use the same needle on just about any fitting. I have another gun I have setup with a Lock-n-Lube adapter. It’s far superior to the standard grease gun fitting. Ah, I don’t have a lift. I just have to suffer a tad and enjoy the barley pop.

    Mice!!!

    It’s like a felt. For all I know, it’s a cheap felt.
