@Pop's Ram, I'm curious if you were ever able to get to the bottom of this noise. My truck has 153K miles and this noise started in the last few thousand miles. It's getting slightly worse as time goes on. I never hear it when idling, which is often, and it exhibits no similarity to a bad...

They are amazing in deep snow for an all season tire. Pretty darn good off road too.

That was my question too! I just turned 150K on my 2019! OP, sorry about the troubles, but very common issue with Limited's.

Welcome, and post a picture! Lots of great info here, and lots of good people to assist you.

The sound you describe sounds exactly like a cracked exhaust manifold, not a cam/lifter. Certainly could be either, but I'd surely verify before spending that kind of money unnecessarily.

It's a bad idea to completely seal an electronic module like this. They need to vent due to condensation caused by temperature. If you are out of warranty then my suggestion would be to get a can of that FlexSeal stuff and spray the surfaces exposed to gravity-induced water intrusion and leave...

This ain't your typical EV startup!! Scout is owned by VW which bought the brand several years ago. VW is sinking billions into a Scout-specific brand new assembly plant in South Carolina. I'm involved in some of the electronics designs with their Michigan site. On top of this, a few months...

Yep, no useful info without knowing the weight of the pellets and your Payload rating noted on your drivers door jamb.

Having spent the last 35 years supplying the automotive industry with electronics, I can tell you that you are both spot on! I can easily say that I've never witnessed an automotive engineer design a truly bad product, and I can just as easily say I've never seen such a product actually go to...

As always, towing mileage is far more dependent on moving the wind vs. moving the weight. My tuned ecodiesel got 17-18mpg pulling a loaded flatbed car hauler weighing 6000lbs, but dropped to 14-15mpg pulling my empty 7x12 cargo trailer at <1200lbs. My current hemi gets no better than 11mpg...

Have you checked the voltage of the new battery? Maybe you got a bad one.

Any first impressions on road noise and ride quality? Would appreciate an update after you've had some time on the freeway, etc. I've been pretty set on these as my next set of winter tires and will be deciding soon on when to purchase. I'm also curious about any effect on highway fuel...

Get a tune from Green Diesel Engineering in Michigan. Expensive, but well worth it. And don't allow the dealer to do any more software updates!

I used to use a JB3 on a BMW 535XI...it was pretty amazing and fairly easy to use. The new versions with phone app gotta be better I'd think.

Do they actually solve the problem for your wife? Many running boards fit so high and tight to the bottom of the vehicle that they end up barely providing any benefit. This is why the PRB's are so desirable. In my case, I drive my 84yo father around and there's no way he's getting in without...

I changed front and rear brakes at 110K miles, but only because the rears were almost gone. The fronts easily had 60% of the pad left still. I am confident I would have easily got to 150K, probably way more. Full disclosure - I do a lot of highway miles, but still!

Curious what the experience was. Any pushback from the dealer or trouble with getting the replacement part?

Thank you, I very much appreciate it and all your help here.

@Cbty2050 I've got a cracked window frame (power sliding glass rear window) but no leak that I can detect. Is this a matter of time before it leaks? I gotta get into my dealer for the Active Air Dam CEL/U11E9 problem so wondering if I should have them mess with it. I have the warranty...

I replaced mine just over a year ago at 110K miles. Surprising to me, the rears were almost gone and the fronts still had easily 50% of the pad left. I replaced all pads & rotors anyway, but I was pretty shocked to see how good the fronts were at that mileage. (I do drive a lot of...
