They do sell the auto start stop disabler harness. I purchased one but still haven't installed it.

Yeah, very frustrating. I couldn't figure it out. I now use Apple CarPlay all the time just because I was having that issue.

Not if it could potentially be throwing codes. It's not worth it to me. I haven't had any battery issues so no need to mess with it just for the sake of going with a larger battery. The thing that was of most interest to me was eliminating the start stop feature.

Looks like I will just stick to installing the stop start eliminator instead of trying this mod.,

I really like my Dual Liner. Super simple to install also..

Somehow the "Dip Stick" thread has turned into the octane thread.

Towing also. I never tow, but I would imagine using the right octane and getting full performance out of the motor would be beneficial.

Definitely not. But really, if you are not a person who occasionally puts the pedal to the floor, you would not notice what octane is in the tank. In my experience, using a lower octane only becomes evident when you are fully into the pedal and the motor is in the higher rpm range.

That's true. Although I usually put 93 octane in my SO motor. I don't understand why you even buy a HO motor and then neuter it with 87 octane.

I was only quoting what it states in the owners manual. Do I think the HO motor will blow up if you use regular? No, but it would probably reduce engine performance and greatly reduce the claimed HP. With that being said, someone could easily make the argument that you should follow what is...

That is correct. 91 or more for HO motors. The SO hurricane motors can use 87 octane but recommend 91 for optimal performance.

The oil was only in the motor for an hour or so, but I wasn't happy about it either. I did inspect the jug and had him clean it again before using it, but I just paid for the oil change and the shop wasn't going to give me fresh synthetic since they were not at fault. In the future I will...

This could have easily happened to me as the truck kept warning me to add 2 quarts. Even after I watched them put the 7+ quarts in it the second time, the dash kept saying the oil level was low and to add 2 quarts immediately. If I didn't witness the oil going in, I could have easily just did...

They measured the oil that came out with me and put the same oil back in. They had a huge jug with measurements on the side that they used to catch the oil. I was inside the shop and watched the whole process as they tried to prove to me they put the correct amount of oil in it. They didn't...

I had Wifi setting on my phone turned off. Got into the car and couldn't figure out, at first, why my CarPlay wasn't showing up. Not sure if this helps you, but make sure that wifi is turned on for your phone.
