    Cabin Pressure Relief Vents

    I just replaced mine a couple of weeks ago. No more water getting in. I followed YouTube videos and removed the back seats. Tying a string to the new vents really helped seat them in and also made sure I didn’t lose them when I popped them through the openings. Fairly easy job if you are...

    Anti idling laws?

    Really interested in the Ramcharger and envisioning how this truck would meet my needs as a truck owner. Does the Ramcharger engine run to charge up the system even when the vehicle is parked? If so, wondering if that would run up against all those anti-idling laws. Envisioning me hauling my...

    Rampant Rodent

    I had thousands of dollars worth of damage by rats. Only noticed when the check engine light came on. It was covered completely by ICBC with no effect on my premiums. The dealer recommended Doktor Doom rodent repellent. It’s basically pepper spray in a can. This time of year, I spray the...

    Thoughts on the Hemi engine cover

    many thousands of dollars worth of rodent damage under that cover. The rats here love hiding under there and eating the truck.

    Cruise control not turning on with enable button **** Sometimes

    My steering wheel button for cc failed on me Last year. Covered by warranty so the dealer just swapped it. the truck then blasted the horn randomly if I turned the steering wheel. Lots of angry glares as I honked my way back to the dealer as fast as I could. The horn wire or whatever was...

    What did you do with your (new) stock tires?

    Swapped out the tires right away at a dedicated tire store. They said they do this a lot. They took the stock tires and gave me a good discount.

    Stick with synthetic or not?

    Bought my 2017 Bighorn new. Synthetic oil always as I lived in the sub-arctic. Now I moved south to a much warmer place, barely dips below freezing. Should I stick with using full synthetic down here or swap to using regular oil? Thinking price difference versus needs/performance. Dealer...

    Truck won’t start

    My truck wouldn’t start one morning. Turned out when I had cleaned it and put the floor carpets back in, it was sitting on the gas peddle, depressing the peddle a bit. That resulted in the truck doing a safety shut out. Dumb way to kill the truck. Forehead slapper when I figured it out.

    Ahhhh Rats

    I just had the same issue. Rats chewed about $1500 worth of engine bits and insulation. No idea until the check engine light came on. It was a real mess. the repair guy showed me a new Power Wagon With over $17,000 rat damage. Chewed the seats, everything under the dash including the dash...

    Silly thing I know but.... Canadian Coin holder?

    Interesting conversation. I have been looking for the Canadian version of the coin holder and no luck. Weird. It’s a small thing, but a routine issue, with parking meters and timmie runs. Gets annoying after awhile.

    Coolant dipstick dry

    Had a Volkswagen years ago and the AC had that mildew smell and it took me awhile to figure that out. Smell was only when I turned on the AC after it had been on previously when I had been driving. Something about the liner inside the AC unit that was faulty. Fixed it by always turning off...

    How long does everyone let their Hemi warm up in the morning?

    If it’s in the minus twenties, I let it idle for five to ten minutes. Minus thirties and forties, I do a full ten minute auto start cycle, and then hop in the truck during the next ten minute cycle. When I get to where I am going, and she has warmed up, before I leave I auto start and drive...

    It was so cold here this morning...

    Ya but it’s a dry insanity. Minus 30 and colder, I always let it idle for ten or so minutes before moving it. Gauge has indicated minus 40’s.

    paint flaking off - advice?

    Done. Paint is now fixed and under warranty. Had to remind the dealer a few times as that should not have taken all summer to book a time to do this. Looks good though. Now I am looking at sill plate covers.

    paint flaking off - advice?

    How long did it take for the warranty. Dealer says they are still talking. I need this fixed before winter. It has been months so far.
