Hasn't been a very good couple of weeks, truck wise. I just noticed a crack in my passenger side view mirror. Probably happened going thru a car wash. The adjustments still work but the heater does not. Is there a way to just replace the glass without having to buy the entire mirror? It's a 21...

Check your battery connections. Make sure there is no corrosion and they are tight.

Now that I have the tester, I'll check each bottle when I bring it home and mark it. That way I know it's good to go. This is the first time I've ever come across this; I'm 71 years old and until recently, done all of this routine stuff myself. Arthritis is a real pain I'll tell you. Enjoy your...

So I found the appropriate hydrometer and tested the fluid in the truck. I found this one at a local parts store...

I’ve still got some clips left from the last time and I was able to determine it’s the passenger side. Note to self and everyone else……if you use an oil change place as I do, don’t let them add to your washer fluid with cold weather coming up. I’m going to invest in a refractometer specifically...

I use a 0 degree but the coldest it gets down here (Texas by by the Gulf) was 15 above this week. Damned if I know. Wife's Nissan Altima has no issues.

2nd time I've done this....below freezing and I pushed the button in too far and activated the washers when I was intending just to cycle the wipers. Blew off the water hose again. Unfortunately it's between the hood and insulation. A ton of clips to pull off and their almost impossible to pull...

Update after 2 weeks. Installed the X2 AGM. Voltage was all over the place the first week or so; 12.6 - 14.0. Lately, it's been holding around 14.2 area. Hard to believe it took that long to reprogram itself but if it stays like this, I'm good with it. Note...I used the recommended replacement...

I notice a slight difference when going to 4A or 4H. I attribute this to the additional gears and shafts being used when in 4WD. When I got rid of those horrible Bridgestone OEM tires and went to Michelin Defender LTX (same size), I also noticed a small increase in noise.

HI Gang, I've got a 2021 Lonestar 5.7 ETorque with 49k miles on it; purchased 3/21. The battery voltage has always ran between 13.3-13.8 until a month ago. Now it's between 14.0-14.6. It now takes a bit more time to start when cold in the morning. Could the increase in battery voltage from the...

I've had a Bakflip on my last 2 trucks, a 16 GMC Canyon and now a 21 1500 Longhorn CC/SB. The only time they ever leaked was when I went thru a car wash.

So I'm sittin here on the group W bench........

I've been using that stuff for over 55 years. It's the only additive I've ever added to gas and oil. I've got the 33 gallon tank in a 21 5.7 E torque Lonestar. About 45k miles now. I've never had an issue with filling the tank at any station. Also, I've not had any issues with injectors or carbs...

Nope, but some strange things happened afterwards. It started hogging fuel for about 15 minutes and the HVAC wouldn't cooperate until this morning. Now everything is fine as far as I can tell. Perhaps the ECU needed some time to re calibrate itself?

The ECU connector towards the radiator came off without any problems. The one towards the firewall seems stuck on something. I was able to remove the black plastic shell but cannot see what is hung up on. I tried prying the perimeter with a flat bladed screwdriver. It doesn't seem to want to...

I used to use Powerstop until I realized they were made in China. It may not be a big deal to some but to me it is. I switched over to EBC. Their stuff is made here, England and Italy. I suspect the rotors are actually made by Brembo.

Are there any issues changing to DOT 5.0 (silicone) brake fluid? This is probably going to be my last vehicle and as I go along, I want to "upgrade" as I am able.

After 9 years, they are likely to have most , if not all the bugs worked out. I was interested in the 5th gen RAM when if first came out but I know better than to buy a first year vehicle, even if most of the running gear is a carryover. Those who did were referred to by RAM as 'beta testers"...

Would there be any difference between the "factory" navigation and the one provided by Sirius/XM?

In my younger days, I always did. Past 70 now and can't crawl around under vehicles like I used to. Hence my screen-name.
