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...- Fishhaggis

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...- Fishhaggis

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...- Fishhaggis

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.- Fishhaggis

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...- Fishhaggis

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.- Fishhaggis

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...- Fishhaggis

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.- Fishhaggis

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...- Fishhaggis

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.- Fishhaggis

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...- Fishhaggis

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...- Fishhaggis

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.- Fishhaggis

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.- Fishhaggis

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.- Fishhaggis

paint flaking off - advice?
This sucks. It’s clear the paint is delaminating. Looks like more will flake off, maybe to twice the size. Paint flaking off the truck is clearly a defect. Will let you know what the dealer says this week.- Fishhaggis

paint flaking off - advice?
13000 kms or about 8000 miles on my 2017 truck. Had it washed at the dealer and noticed paint layer flaked off when I picked it up (see two pics attached). Drivers door at the sill. Dealer manager took pic and said he will talk to warranty folks. He suggested masking it and painting on this...- Fishhaggis

Terra vs KO2s. Who's had them?
Put KO2s on my truck right away and have no complaints. Factory tires kept going flat in the cold up here. They ride well, off road anywhere around where I live, handle rock, angles, snow and ice. Have to say they look good too.- Fishhaggis

Alaska "wants" on a truck
In Yellowknife we have a winter package that would go into your truck. Don’t do it down south, you need a Northern mechanic who knows what to do. Here, a basic package in almost every vehicle is block heater, battery blanket, maybe a battery maintainer, full synthetic oil, auto start, and...- Fishhaggis

0w20 will void warranty?
Below -40, if you want it to start when not plugged in, set the auto start to run the engine every 3-4 hours for ten minutes, or just let it idle all night.- Fishhaggis

0w20 will void warranty?
Live in Yellowknife and the norm here is full synthetic, with your truck plugged in and auto start so it idles for a good ten minutes before you move it. Battery blanket is a must, and some have a battery maintainer wired in as well. Once she dips into the -30’s and colder, you should consider...- Fishhaggis

Do you drive in 4WD in winter?
4wd auto if there is any bare road amongst all the snow. If roads all covered and weather is active, then 4wd lock. 4wd will give you confidence, but you always have to remember the brakes are the same as every other vehicle so slow it down and don’t let the confidence turn into speed. Lots...- Fishhaggis

Best way to pull boattrailer out of a slipway 4WD auto/Lock/low?
Took a trailering course by the Coast Guard, and they said if you have 4wd option, use it. 4wd low would only be if you were in a bad spot and needed it. 2wd to back it straight to the ramp, then switch to 4wd Just before going down the ramp only. Same thing on the way out. 4wd only once...- Fishhaggis
