I've been doing it before and after work the last couple weeks since it's been single digits here. I probably wouldn't bother in the warmer months as a daily procedure though. However, it is a noticeable difference on start up... zero clatter. And with the block heater running a couple hours...
My garage is 84" and the driveway slopes down towards the garage door... it doesn't clear the door. I even tried backing in with no avail. Personally I wouldn't try it in case I got stuck and couldn't turn around. Maybe a rental car is in your future lol
I have had this happen a few times. I think there is a software glitch somewhere. I've watched from inside the house where the dash still is lit up with the start up message. What I've done to fix it was unlocked it with the fob, got in and turned the ignition on long enough that the gauges...
I had no idea how to describe this in the thread title, so here we go... I was curious if it was possible to program a "clear flood" cranking event into the start button. When the Hemi starts up cold (and especially really cold outside) its pretty common to hear the valvetrain pump up for a...
This comment made me start to think a bit.
I have a NOCO charger in my garage for the generator and it has a specific mode for each type of battery. I also have a NOCO just for flooded batteries. It made me wonder, "does the truck need to know what kind of battery it is?" Can anyone explain...
Do you typical only change them 1 at a time? I've always been told that with a multi battery setup you should change them all at once. So if you replace one when its weak and the other is "good" (maybe 80% is good?) then you install a new battery with the old "good" battery. This tends to...
Take the inspection cover off and have a look. Posting a photo here might be beneficial to someone else here too. If it persists, put some dye in the oil.
Very interesting setup. How much coolant do you lose when changing the filter? Can you show any other photo's in the engine bay with how the hoses are routed/connected? Thanks.
I'd be more conerned with idle hours than miles. If it looks like it's idled more than 30% of its run time, I might look else where. I'm only at 4400 miles and hovering around 17%. I've seen a few 5.7's that have had valvetrain failure over 40%. Most of the ones I've seen were municipal...
