Parts were in stock at Regional Distribution Center took a week to get to the Dealer and about 4 hours to...

    EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

    EPA surface water control was against counsel of the Army Corp of Engineers and Coast Guard who jointly control "the waters of the United States" much like the FBI they themselves admit that they cannot do their present job without more agents or authority. So "I am from the government I am here...

    EPA holding 2017 Diesels hostage

    From what I have read in the Trades the EPA has placed all Light Duty Diesels back through certification process. Even to the extent of renting existing vehicles for comparison testing. At last reading only one major manufacturer approved, but grapevine supplies that Ford has been approved and...

    fuel contamination issues

    My wife's 2013 Charger also has a capless system. Noticed Geno's Garage has a nice aluminum green anodized dust cover in their latest catalog. I plan on ordering, keeping the $.15 plastic cap until it arrives.

    Key fob issues

    Well according to my purchase dealer the oil spec change is only for the 2016 models. However we can read the disparity in information flow in the FCA dealership network. One note my wife's 2013 Charger has experienced the key FOB deny issue along with additional bugaboos which entailed...

    Cash and financing! Still have my 95 Chevy Z71 with 360K on original drive line, yah lately when attempting to pass at 70mph it downshifts and slows down. Also I don't wash the mud off cause then the rust will fall off. I did sell a 2006 Ford F150 4X4, Crew that I bought from my daughter and...

    New tires

    Over the weekend some highway vibration became evident. Back to tire store this morning for re-balance, all tires have some variance. Today all highway, smooth, quiet, but sensitive to any and all roadway impurities, and in OK those are legion. Good corner grip. No wet driving yet.

Tire is made...

    Add me to the blown motor list

    Reminiscent of the GM Gen II small block, GM would replace the engine for valve guide seals, then destroy the engine so that after market could not get a-hold of the block to analyze and develop a remedy.

    Oil Spec Recall/TSB - Grounds for Class-Action?

    OK only my second post so here goes. The greater sheer strength and film strength of a 5W-40 vs. the Euro spec. 5W-30 would be enough for me to switch, to tell the truth I was going to do it anyway as soon as I got past my dealers free changes. Now that being said I called my Dealer today to...
