2019 3.6 etorque no start no crank problem
Nope. The start/stop is only if the ignition is on and the engine has been running. The 12 volt conventional starter is used when starting cold.- dsherman26

Spare key
Anybody have a ballpark figure for a spare key fob and getting it programmed? Only had the one key fob I got with the truck, and due to a rather embarrassing incident yesterday, realize I should really get a spare. Let's just say my truck is going to spend a couple extra days at the airport...- dsherman26

greasin that hitch
I only grease the ball. I also don't leave my hitch in when I'm not using it since I once had to help someone remove one that had become stuck with road grit and rust. I also have found it the hard way with my shin before :(. While the hitch might offer your rear end some additional...- dsherman26

Fluid Capacities
I just did these myself on mine. I used Mobil1 75W-90LS in the differentials, though I don't have limited slip. The Mopar transfer case fluid was a bit pricey, I used the Ravenol BW44 fluid from Blauparts, it was $30/quart and you'll need two quarts. Rear differential took about 3 quarts...- dsherman26

5.7 etorque charging system
I've heard of a few eTorque failures here. Some were faulty 48V batteries, at least one where the 48V battery was damaged by water leaks (the third brake light, radio antenna, and rear window are possible sources), and at least one was a failure of the motor/generator unit. Fingers crossed...- dsherman26

Front and rear axle and transfer case oil change
Those had to be some of the easiest jobs ever. I started with 5 quarts of Mobil 1 75W-90 gear oil, and 2 quarts of Ravenol BW44 which I got from Blauparts. The fill and drain plugs are easy to get to. FYI, you'll need an 8 mm hex socket, a 14 mm hex socket, and a 3/8" socket wrench with an...- dsherman26

Customer Satisfaction Notice Y40
FYI, took them about an hour, although they said it could take a few hours. No difference that I can tell.- dsherman26

Customer Satisfaction Notice Y40
Just got mine today. Just says it was an emissions related recall, and one of the updates was so that permanent DTCs would clear properly. Since we have emission testing here I figure I might as well get it updated.- dsherman26

2019 Big Horn
Basic stuff, have you checked the battery? How old is it? Need more info. What electrical functions are "intermittent"? Pretty much any vehicle will do all sorts of peculiar things if the battery is weak or dying.- dsherman26

Same fuel tank issue?
So I've been seeing various fuel tank threads about filling problems, but most of them seem to be that the faulty vent makes it shut off well before it's full, and you have to fill it slowly to overcome that. Mine has started something where it fills, but when it shuts off it's just a hair...- dsherman26

How to disconnect this type of connector?
Looks like you squeeze the red part, but very often connectors like that have a lock of some sort that prevents it. Might be a tab at the rear that has to be pulled out, or maybe those wings on either side have to be squeezed first to depress the red part. Maybe the red part itself has to be...- dsherman26

WOW - Rip Off Dealership
Heh, I figured there had to be at least one service advisor who may have goofed on that. My favorite clueless service advisor was when I took my Saturn to the dealer and they were trying to sell me a fuel filter replacement at 30,000 miles instead of 60,000 like the owner's manual said. His...- dsherman26

WOW - Rip Off Dealership
Say, does the 2500 actually have hydraulic power steering? The 1500 is electric. If a dealership tried to sell me a power steering flush, I think I'd be having a word with the service manager on just how they intend to "flush" the electric power steering.- dsherman26

Jumper cables hooked up backwards
Absolutely. A buddy of mine bought a secondhand car that somebody had replaced the cables with opposite colors. I went to replace his battery, wrenching on the black terminal first. Bumped the fender with my wrench, and the big spark certainly got my attention. No harm done, but scared me.- dsherman26
