    OBDLink LX vs MX+

    I have an Mx+ and honestly the $7 generic blue elm327 off amazon works exactly the same. Just as fast, no problems at all.

    seat controls on corner of headunit screen gone?

    Go into apps and you can drag and drop the button ( any buttons ) to where you want them. They will replace the button you drop them on, so don't drop them on a button you want. You can then reorder them as you wish too.

    No need to change transmission fluid for the life of the truck...REALLY?

    Good shops and good people are extremely rare these days. But you can throw a rock and hit a dozen predatory dealers who wont even do the work they charged you for.

    Is there a way to dump the navigation history?

    go to “where to”, at bottom on 12” display hit other destinations. Scroll all the way down to “trails” hit that button. It will record route and you can save it for later use. not sure if it goes backwards or is exportable. Might be using dealer mode. Press and hold the bottom corner icons on...

    Engine locked at 74,000 miles

    ok, this reading is a fake reading. It's computed from random garbage. This is the "real" one and trips when the sensor reads below 8/10 psi The red oil light to the right below temperature. note it shows "19 psi" its a lie.

    Washer fluid type

    If you can't or it's full of the above freezing stuff, pour in a bottle or two of rubbing alcohol, higher percent the better( freezes between -26 and -58 degrees F) It'll lower the freeze point enough to get you through all but the coldest of places.

    Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter (Hurricane) Inline-Six-Cylinder (H.O.) Engine - Specifications!

    The vehicle controls the charging. It won't even start charging until it tests the voltages. There's no way a charger could hurt the car unless it ( the house or charger electrical supply ) was struck by lightning or something else that no one could do anything about. There's precisely nothing...

    Sirius XM Renewal

    Cell phones don't work either. There's only a couple predatory companies up there. If you aren't on a direct actual plan through a big 3 ( Att, Tmobile or Verizon ), you won't have any service. No MVNOs. What service you might have will probably be roaming anywhere outside of downtown Anchorage.

    I'd ask them. If you have questions, call us at 260/744-2380 https://www.blackstone-labs.com/information/sampling-procedures/gas-sampling/ If you have the old oil, I'd take a sample from that just in case. they are small only about 3 oz, or less than 100ml, less than 1/2 a cup.

    Coolant in oil

    Take a sample and send it to blackstone. They can tell you if there's coolant in it, or really bad levels of metals. It won't be as good as pulling mid stream, but it's better than not knowing anything. https://www.blackstone-labs.com/ They'll send you the kits for free and it costs $35 for...

    FCA Repurchase and CDI Offer

    They are. You don't really need to retain a lawyer if you are doing the state lemon law. The whole process is on rails. Which is why I recommend you just use one of the prepaid plans or just pay for consults. My lemon law cases, everything was covered, legal consults, car rentals and mileage on...

    Engine locked at 74,000 miles

    It's only an up or down sensor, doesn't give actual PSI. Just yes over the 8/10 psi limit or not.

    Engine locked at 74,000 miles

    There's no true oil pressure sensor. There's a guesstimated value computed ( whats shown on gauges and the info panel ) from rpm, temperatures and other things, and a idiot light that trips at <10 or 8 psi. If you had oil in coolant there's a well known failure of the oil cooler and/or EGR...

    FCA Repurchase and CDI Offer

    Ask your state AG office. It's where you live, not where you bought it, but if you bought it in a state with more protections and took delivery in that state you may be able to use that states process. Ask your attorney. They should point you to who does your state lemon law. State lemon law is...

    Oil Filter Relocation Kit

    They have to prove it, you do not. If they claim warranty void, you proceed as if it were a warranty issue they failed to correct and either go lemon law or MMWA and send the notices and proceed from there. They have to prove causality they can't just go blanket denying anything. You really have...

    Dead Battery - Again, Last driven Sept 6, 2022

    Yes well now there's "fuel effiecent vehicles" that no longer charge the battery like they used to, they have a "smart" BMS system that only charges the battery when it absolutely has to, to keep the alternator from driving down mpg on short trips and especially until the engine is warmed up...

    Dead Battery - Again, Last driven Sept 6, 2022

    I'm gonna plug my lithium battery. I absolutely love it. It has self "jump" capability. For someone like you having that little fob and being able to self rescue would be a godsend. Write it off as a medical expense. It weighs ~20lbs, you can pick it up like its nothing compared to a regular AGM...
