I'm on battery #3 now after 6 yrs and 138k miles. I've experienced the random dead battery twice now and each time, a new battery resolved the issue. The most obvious glitch I saw prior was that the radio would continue playing after I switched the truck off. The display powered off after 45...

Is climate control left in auto?

Interesting, that sounds identical to what my truck is doing and an update would be a very plausible explanation. I checked the radio version when this first started and it hadn't changed from the last time I did a manual update a year prior. I have the Uconnect 4, which I don't think will...

My truck was dead again this morning so I stopped in at Advance Auto to have the battery tested and the guy just swapped it out under Warranty. The OEM battery lasted almost 3 1/2 years but I only had 2 yrs and 9 months on the replacement, (H7, Diehard Platinum AGM) battery. My radio has...

2nd time in the past month where my truck is dead and won't crank. Both times I had left my keys in close proximity to the truck which is somthing that I normally do not do. I'm thinking it's a proximty thing and the truck keeps waking up when it senses the keys? Anyways, got the truck charged...

Agreed, around here we just buy into a hunting club with hundreds of acres. There's usually a shooting area established. I have access to one, 15 minutesfrom the house but never find the time to go. I bought my first piece of land when I was 19. That was 33 years, 11 houses, 2 provinces, 2...

I don't have the acreage to shoot on our property so I keep threatening to bury two steel containers end to end and build myself an underground pistol range.

I've worked through both of these issues on my truck as well and they were independepant issues. My first question is, does your truck ever idle perfect, even just briefly? I ask because mine would, sometimes for a tank or two, sometimes only a partial tank but it was capable of idling smooth...

Interesting concept to be able to customize to that level but it's a compromise on every other aspect. It's a hard pass for me.

As documented in the linked thread above, several of us have upgraded to the Bilstein models found on the Rebels with no reported issues. Both front and rear. I went with the 4600 series but others have done the 5100 series as well.

You are not the only one reporting an issue. There are some conditions that need to be met before it will function and if you touch brake or throttle, it will kick out. It sounds like 4lo may not engage if you are trying on hard pack or pavement so testing could be tricky unless you are in a...

From the original press release: Selec-Speed Control Selec-Speed Control is standard with the eight-speed automatic transmission and manages vehicle speed in "4LO" while traversing off-road terrain without requiring throttle or brake input, allowing the driver to focus on steering. Selec-Speed...

I wonder if he was eluding to torque affecting the spark plug "indexing", although I always understood the effects to be be negligable.

Shell, Chevron and Kroger are my go-to stations. Kroger isn't on the Top-Tier list but it's my preffered supplier. Marthon is the other station I visit occassionaly so I'm glad to see it on that list as well.
