    I would like to say I got longer battery life...

    The standard for battery life here in the Phoenix Heat is making it two years. (Some vehicles don't even make much over 1 year.) My last Odyssey set in my 2018 didn't make it two years before a no start (no jumpbox x2 start) dead at 1 year 8 months. Figure a record breaking number of days in a...

    New 2024 RAM 2500 Promaster mobility van

    Mom and Dad's new mobility van arrived. Went full size vs. a minivan to get two wheelchairs in it. UVL and 6 way passenger seat.

    Stellantis is recalling 317,630 2017 2018 RAM's due to a faulty ABS unit

    About time! The "bad brush" problem in the ABS motors finally has a cure. Now anyone want to bet on how long it takes to get parts? I bid 10 days... https://www.aol.com/ram-recalling-more-300-000-163900864.html

    Cruise control can't decide on a gear 4-6, something wrong?

    Rather unpleasant to use the cruise control towing on unchanging flat ground as my 2018 HO with the Aisin can't make up it's mind what gear to run. Shutting off the cruise it can settle into 5th or 6th and stay there. Tow Haul on/off no difference. I did lock out 6th at times. Am I missing...

    4WD Shift in progress over and over and over while in 2WD

    I am in 2WD and get this message popping up randomly. It goes away awhile if I actually cycle it through 4X4 and back to 2WD. I have the manual 4X4 floor shifter. Bumping the lever in 2WD appears to bring the message up without shifting to 4X4. https://youtube.com/shorts/0OqiOlvdFqA

    4th Gen. Stick a screwdriver in Wix air filters: It's Done! Not suitable for intended purpose.

    Air filters have changed for my 2018 from a universal everyone used the same thing to "Something Different" including MOPAR's offerings. Old design. There be a reason it's heavy metal and bent to strengthen it. My last oil change 6 months ago I replaced the air filter with a Wix from the...

    RPM Dropping to near 500 when stopping and shaking truck

    Mentioned to dealer that the engine surges for a second when I release the throttle. Literally like double tapping the throttle. They claimed it was normal due to rail pressure etc. If I take off it oftentimes acts like the carb is set too lean: goes a sec, bogs, and then takes off. The...

    Cowl scuppers missing aka Plenum DRAIN FLAP, PLUG

    Flashback to my 2003 with the road draft crankcase vent tube. These parts missing was part of the new oil odor. Now I find out my 2018 is also missing them due to frequent clogging up of the cabin air filter. I believe the missing parts are Part Number: 55276332AC but how do you install them...

    TDR Error: The submitted message is too long to be processed. Please shorten it.

    I am proud of this one. :cool: But it's only 262 words. 3 images of UOA. I never seen this error before and I am not known for short posts.

    Time for a TDR article on "new" choices for Diesel Fuel

    Diesel is Diesel right? No grades to choose from other than marketing for "premium" Diesel... Not true. It has come to my attention that there is another process for making Biodiesel than traditional FAME biodiesel. It's now at some Diesel pumps and there are questions. I have questions given...

    Filter shortages... and GM's 3.0L Diesel

    I bring this up as I "also" noted Genos Garage has backordered dates 15-30 days out on some of our Cummins filter choices. Not a bad idea to have a spare set of filters on hand, now. I always have had a spare set of fuel filters on hand as a clogged filter stops ya cold. (I use purchase date of...

    PayPal "easy button" for Genos Garage

    I have asked for the PayPal "easy button" before. IMO there is no reason to redundantly first ask for my address and all the other B.S. info before that "One Click" "Pay With PayPal". PayPal provides your site with this address/shipping info. No need to ask me for it first!!! This is 90% of the...

    Turn the key and Nothing happens and Weird display

    On my 2018: Turn the key and Big Black Nothing. Try a couple more times turning from off to on or crank Nothing: blank display no crank just silence. Dome lights on. Had used Key FOB to unlock doors like I always do. Remove key and try again and the truck starts. Ummmmm... Batteries are new AGM...

    Batteries Plus Bulbs offers Odyssey brand with a 5 year warranty

    @Matt42 brought a 5 year battery warranty to our attention on the relabeled "X2Power Premium AGM" line carried at Batteries Plus Bulbs. On further research this battery is made by NorthStar battery. EnerSys, who makes Odyssey batteries, bought out NorthStar in 2019 and are in the process of...

    2018 RAM 7 pin trailer charge wire switched with ignition?

    My 2003 was a direct connection where I had to pull the 7 pin trailer plug to keep the 5er from draining the pickup's batteries overnight via the trailer battery charge wire. Is the 2018 the same direct connection or is it now switched with the ignition? If not any recommendations on a...

    Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Ecodiesel permanently disable autostart?

    Asking for a friend who wasn't told about this annoyance when buying a new 2021 Jeep. Yes it's a diesel. No, this isn't going to cut it here when it's over 115F out in the summer. I can't stand it myself on the service loaners. What would be the best way to permanently disable autostart so it...

    Posted threads, your content - INOP

    I know you are working on the site's database. Maybe this hasn't been indexed or it's broken. I only get one post when I search for my content or threads under the "profile" "postings" area. Searching for keywords also appears to be recent stuff only.

    2020+ OEM tire options Firestone Transforce HT VS. Firestone Destination A/T

    Bluntly you can't do much worse than the OEM Firestone Transforce HT. They were near the wear bars at 18K miles and short warranty time for radial pull. Not unusual for fast tire wear in the extreme heat on our road surfaces. No treadwear warranty. The only good I can say is they were a good...

    Opted out of Ford's 6.0 diesel class action and winning...

    This detailed story is why people like me worry about our pocketbook when IGNORANT BEAN COUNTERS force a cheaper part on us like a CP4. Further the reputation of diesel engines from auto makers is horrible with a bar set really low. Bean Counters happy to cut corners for now and the hell with...

    RC Contest: give up technology for a weekend and camp in an RV at a US national park.

    Interesting RV Contest I ran across... I am sure many members here can do without internet for 48 hours. Some campgrounds in AZ don't even "get" Cell phone service including higher power OnStar vehicle cell service! I can see a RAM Truck contest along similar RV Park camping... Get Paid $1,000...
