As info, even showing/telling where this canbus is located, is hard to find anywhere, it's looking more and more like a trip to the dealer is in order. Thanks for the info! (Pic of the cars infotainment center)

Well, I certainly hope that's not the case with this car. But, like your story above, it wouldn't surprise me if the same thing was going on? Not a chance I'll be spending any money, unless it's on the cheap side, to have this fixed. My wife doesn't want me to disconnect the battery because she...

I received this from a mechanic on a snowmobile forum I belong to but since its the weekend, the member hasn't replied yet to my follow up questions asking about said fuse, module and its location and what a CANBUS is/means. Can anyone elaborate on this further? And also wondering if anyone is...

I use a small tiny pail that I have, but cutting off the top of a juice jug or whatever will work too. Just fill it with hot water and wait a few minutes (or longer if needed?) then, as someone else said, shake the you know what out of it. You want it to be the consistency of milk before using...

The car has these features as they are in the EVIC/Menu settings and I shut them off then back on again just recently to make sure. We've had this car 4-5 yrs now and I told my wife, despite her telling me differently, that her heated seats, defrost (front and rear) and her AC in the summer do...

****! Just my luck. Thanks for the heads up, GSCJR. I appreciate that.

Excellent, GSCJR. That's exactly what I was looking for. Glad to see it can be done fairly easy. Just hope, but I assume, it's the same dealio on my 13? Now to price one out. 😔 Thanks so much!

Not sure if this is the right section but here goes anyways. 2013 Ram 1500 QC hemi Bighorn. On the backside of my steering wheel, it has the push buttons for changing the radio channels, volume up and down etc. The button that I mostly use is the small domed push button on the back of the left...

I run either PP or PUP in all my vehicles but after reading about and seeing an odd vid here or there, I think I am going to try to stick with just PUP going forward. I've never sent in a sample from either vehicle but I am liking the UOA's better from members using PUP better than those that...

Changed out the coolant (AOT) on my 13 Ram Hemi yesterday and all went well. Petcock/spigot is on the lower left of the rad on this truck. Took a 10mm Allen key. Attached hose and ran to a rad collector pan. Initially about 4-5 liters came out then it just turned to small trickle with a bunch of...

Finally got around to doing it a few days ago. Simply removed three 7mm bolts on the underbody cover, reached up and turned the spigot a bit, attached a small hose then opened the spigot the rest of the way. I drained out about 5 ltr's/quarts then applied a bit of air to the surge tank (but was...

The vent looks like it will need/take a screwdriver but the petcock looks like this. Twist/turn to loosen and tighten. Some reading I've done said a pair of pliers may be required to loosen it. Read this is where, if one doesn't go gingerly, that things can head south on you if you're not...

Sorry for the late reply. No rad cap, just surge/reservoir tank. I haven't gotten around to it yet but had a look at things the other day while draining out the trans fluid. Lots to remove to access the petcock, (which makes me nervous to utilize due to breakage stories), but the lower rad...

I was surprised, as per my post below, that my wife's 17 with only 60,000 kms (37,000 miles) is on the weak/discolored side. I honestly thought with such low mileage, I had a ways to go yet but was equally surprised the recommendation was 5yrs or that mileage, whichever came first.

Thanks guys. Likely just going to replace with worm gear clamps but want to give the T-bolt clamps a look first.

Not really looking to replace them as 2 have failed me so far like I mentioned. Just curious if gear/worm clamps or those T-Bolt clamps are a good alternative. I like the looks of the T-Bolt clamps but with no prior experience with them, I am not sure they can be installed without removing the...

Like I asked above, it is straight forward? Drain and just refill in the overflow/pressure bottle/tank or is there more to it if you know? Thanks.

2 of these tension clamps have broken on me so far. 1 heater hose clamp at the water pump and the other on the lower rad hose at the rad. Doing some research, there doesn't seem to be another alternative other that gear/worm clamps or T-Bolt clamps. Just curious if others are having issues with...

My wife's car, 2017 Impala 3.6, is due for a coolant change as it is over the 5yr mark and is getting somewhat discolored/weak. Is there much to this, much to be cautious about or is it pretty much straight forward? I believe there is a drain petcock on the lower portion of the rad on the...

I mentioned KD Cloths 2-3 yrs ago on this site as I really liked them and said then I will never go back to sprays/paper towels/rags when cleaning my vehicles windows and that still holds true today. Imo, these are the cat's *ss. Perfect for cleaning residence windows too. Just wet, wring out...
