    After Market Tail Lights with Blindspot

    So I installed these yesterday. My driver side tail light cracked a couple of years ago (thanks for opening your car door into it, Anonymous Person at Bell Bank Park in Queen Creek, AZ) and water got into it and shorted. At $700-ish dollars, the pair from Recon was less than half what I was...

    Electrical Short?

    Solved. Shop noticed water had gotten into my LR tail light LED assembly (OEM). They disconnected the light, and everything works as designed. Plug it back in, the issues in the OP reappear.

    Electrical Short?

    I wouldn't have thought the tech would've disconnected the battery in the course of removing rusted bolts. Honest question: is disconnecting the battery part of the process?

    Electrical Short?

    Had my truck in the shop to replace two exhaust pipe flange bolts that had rusted and snapped (yep, it happened to me too). Driving it back to work from the shop, the Uconnect screen shut off, and the Driver Information Screen (between the tach and speedo) started rapidly flashing between...

    Periodic Maintenance List?

    Has anyone seen a list of periodic maintenance items and their intervals (how often)? I don't have access to the maintenance manual, and would like to keep up on the maintenance so I can get my money's worth out of the rig.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Same here with my '21 eTorque. Took it in yesterday for the work, but the dealer told me there are 1,900 repair sets on backorder in the system. It's going to be a couple of months, he guesses. An aside: why does a service department not confirm the parts are on hand before the customer...

    Recirculation Venting Button Flashing

    Just to provide an update, yesterday I took the truck in to the local dealer for service. I had the lift gate latch alignment recall performed, had them check what I thought was the beginning of an exhaust leak, and the flashing recirc button. They couldn't replicate the flashing recirc, but...

    Recirculation Venting Button Flashing

    How did I miss that when I looked through the manual? In the paragraph above that one, it says this: "Recirculation may be unavailable (button on the touchscreen greyed out) if conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of the windshield." (emphasis added) I'll have to check to...

    Recirculation Venting Button Flashing

    These seem at least plausible. I'll keep an eye on it. This morning, I tried hitting the recirc button in several different configurations: with auto on, with defrost on, turning defrost on when recirc is already on, etc.; in every attempt, the recirc button stayed on and solid. I'm going to...

    Recirculation Venting Button Flashing

    I thought that might be the issue as well, but I've tried it a couple of times with the defrost off (climate control set to AUTO) with the same result. I'm wondering if the vent close servo(s) went bad.

    Recirculation Venting Button Flashing

    I was stopped at a stop light this past weekend behind an older diesel truck that had bad exhaust fumes. I pushed the vent recirculation button and it flashed the yellow light a few times and refused to close the vents. Ambient air temperature was about 28F. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hints When Nearing Warranty Expiration

    I'm about 4 months and 10K miles from the OEM warranty expiring. I'm seriously considering taking the truck in, complaining about a sound from the exhaust manifold to force the dealership to inspect the bolts before the warranty expires. Any other areas I should have them look at before the...

    Dog hauler and dog pics

    The cut out (presumably so she can jump up to the cab floor then up to the platform) is a brilliant idea.

    Dealer did 119 in my truck?

    And why didn't the salesperson say "that's how they test the instrument cluster at the factory, and here's documentation"?

    Below Invoice Pricing around the PNW

    I didn't order my rig, but my local dealer (N Idaho) was really easy to work with through the whole process. PM me if you want the dealer's info.

    Where to put the dog…..

    When my dogs are in the bed, we open the cab rear window, the "front" window of the canopy and the side windows of the canopy. Adds quite a bit of road noise into the cab, but the airflow through the bed is more than adequate.

    Where to put the dog…..

    We have a 7-year old Vizsla and an 18-month old golden retriever--so I feel your pain. When we knew we needed the rear seating, we did was put a blanket down and she sat (as best we could manage, anyway) on the back seat. Once our kids got cars of their own and didn't join my wife and I on so...

    First towing impression, small utility trailer

    One of the most difficult things I had to do when I was in the Air Force was learn to back a water buffalo trailer with a 2 1/2 ton truck (Deuce and a Half). No power steering, manual transmission, no backing assist, and with the length of the truck combined with the short trailer, it would...
