    Minor Accident - Diminished Value Claim Thoughts

    HI Guys, Well I got run into yesterday on the way home. Other party is at fault as she ran a stop sign. Have witnesses and she fessed up to the cops so there is no question there. She was actually stopped when I first saw her but then she just started to cross as I was crossing. No traffic...

    Is My System Current?

    I'm getting confused with all the different versions I keep seeing. I've got a 12" 4C in my 2021 Lonestar. Attached is a photo of my system info. I went somewhere yesterday and the GPS was way off. Should I update? Thanks in advance

    Navigation Question

    I'm thinking of not renewing my Sirius XM subscription. Will I loose the Navi/GPS functions? I'm fairly new in my area and would be lost without it. Thanks

    Side View Mirror Glass Replacement.

    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...

    Windshield Washers

    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...

    Battery Replacement

    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...

    Pulsal Installation Problem

    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...

    Brake Fluid Change

    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.

    Got Lucky For Once !!!

    So I noticed my windshield washers quit working the other day. The pump was working but fluid was leaking from the bottom of the plastic liner under the hood. I remembered we had a hard freeze a couple of weeks ago. I had visions of ruptured lines under the hood due to the cold. Pulled the...

    DIC Question

    When watching the "Offroad" screen in the DIC, I noticed that the stub axles will change from white to orange if I take a corner faster than I should. This is on asphalt in 2wd. If this the traction control kicking in or something else?

    "Off Road" Function in DIC

    Just noticed this after owning the truck almost a year and a half: When taking a corner (on pavement) a bit faster than I should, the 4 stub-axles that are normally white in 2WD mode turn yellow. It starts with the rear 2 and if I push it a bit harder, the front ones also change. Is this the...

    Odd Noise From Front

    Normally, I have my radio at a fairly loud level. For some reason, I didn't have it on and noticed a rattle type of noise coming from the front. It's speed sensitive, starting about 58mph and gong away below that. RPM does not affect the noise. I'm thinking its the grill shutters rattling. This...

    Lug-nuts

    I was on another forum and the issue if 2 piece lug-nuts came up. Polished aluminum caps over mild steel. After a period of time, corrosion sets in due to dissimilar metals and the aluminum swells to the point where a standard lug-wrench won't work. I'm trying to find out if the RAM's are...

    Radar Detector Hard-wire Install

    I'm currently running my Valentine 1 from the lighter plug in the center Top of the dash. It looks bad with all the wires exposed. Also, the plug is unswitched so I have to turn it on and off manually. I believe I can remove the panel with the instructions provided in the "installing a factory...

    Navigation Question

    New owner here, I searched but could not find anything relating to this: I would prefer the navi unit to show anywhere from 1-5 miles ahead of me when traveling on interstates. I am able to pinch the screen to get to that resolution but it returns to it's smaller display in less than a minute...
