Have not gone in for it yet, have this and one other thing to go to the dealer for.
Will follow along and take my time before going in to see if other's develop your problem or if you have some coincidental failure. Even if coincidental, sounds like a serious matter to be aware of.
Off topic, was just trying to sound out your screen name... Chenotu? Took a minute to see nitromethane! Nitro for short. Good to make your acquaintance.
Moved decades ago. Near Lodi and there was a small "airport" which offered glider flights. Every few weekends in the summer, it became a drag strip. Kingdon airstrip back then.
I remember it closed decades ago, at least the racing went away. Insurance/liability concerns were among the reasons...
Was popular in the Calif
Central Valley in California, and bracket racing was popular at the time. And in a certain class...
A Dodge Dart with slant six, 4 barrel carb and intake manifold, LT headers, and an appropriate cam was very competitive. I did not run one, but had friends who did and...
Was going to do a soft reset/reboot of my UConnect system before driving today, but checked the Off Road pages and they had healed whatever software disfunction came with the last update. For once, doing nothing was a good thing.
So just drove to the hardware store for a couple items I needed...
East Tennessee, Summer temp and humidity both top 90. Ram AC set to 70. It keeps up. The big deal which affects comfort here is the humidity, and the Ram keeps it under control. Don't know if it would manage at 110 degrees, still a few ways to disable it as needed.
My lady has a Ford Ranger with the Turbo 4, and start stop (AutoStart). AutoSart is as annoying as can be in that truck. The system just uses the starter and starter battery, no "just fired up" torque assist like the Ram. Also a noticeable lag between when moving one's foot from the brake to the...
Unlikely as there are still CAFE considerations.
I actually like the start/stop feature in my Ram, also have the big battery pack and assist thing on the accessory drive. It works seamlessly and I can disable it a couple different ways.
If you really want to disable your's, one of these gizmos...
I'll try a soft reset (reboot) on mine tomorrow when I go out for some aluminum channel and whatever I dream up overnight, stayed home today having fun setting up a gun cart.
Hopefully get a good result on this first-world UConnect problem tomorrow.
Took a good drive today after the update two days ago. Still FUBAR.
Seems the next 3 steps will be:
Soft reset (holding down volume and tuner buttons)
Hard reset (disconnect battery for 5-10 minutes, and step on brakes for 15 seconds to bleed off any charge)
Warranty visit to the dealership
Only thing I can add is I bought my Rebel in great part because of the 3.92 gear ratio. Wakes the truck up and makes the A8 shine. Still gets 18mpg overall according to the EVIC (aka lie-o'meter).
Wish I knew more about if any other programming is involved or if speed (and speedometer) come...
