It's just a matter of programming. Early 2000s Nissan/Infiniti cars did that. As the battery drained, you'd get a code for low voltage to the ECM. The next step was dead battery, so if you got in the car between that code and dead battery, you'd be able to start the car but might notice some...
You aren't wrong. I'm used to running a much larger charger. I picked this little one up during my current move to manage the '64 Land Rover through shipping. I'm not used to 10 amp calculations.
Nevertheless, 15 hours on a 10 amp charger still netted me 12.5v, when I started at 12.3.
I'm at...
No, I eliminated that when I reprogrammed Aux 3 to power only with ignition. Even so, I've run the same dash cam on other vehicles with smaller batteries without issue, even parked for weeks at a time. The draw is very small, aided by a motion sensing mode and a small internal battery.
After a...
That's the internal debate right now. Do I just go out and upgrade to an optima, or do I go to a dealership and fight with them to get it covered under warranty? My experience with CJDR dealers is it it will require multiple trips and arguing with service managers.
Thanks, I thought the comments about it not charging when ESS was disengaged seemed off.
I drive a fair amount. I bought it two months ago and have put 5k on it since. That's 83 mile a day on average.
Nevertheless, the ESS charging warning went away on the drive home tonight. However, sitting...
Interesting. I haven't been parked for more than a day since owning it, although that will change soon. That's why I was planning a tender. The charging warning just started yesterday. The only thing I've changed is the installation of a hardwired dashcam last week. It's on Aux 3, set for always...
Bear with me, because I'm new to this new-fangled computer charging crap. Life was so much easier with a constant output alternator. Nevertheless, here goes the dumb questions.
Current state, ESS unavailable due to battery charging. 2022 Ecodiesel with 13k miles. Yes, I know those factory...
Any chance you guys have all the parts to convert a '22 to a '24 or '23 Rubicon 20th Anniversary grill? Us diesel owners down in South Texas would be appreciative of the extra air flow.
I'm going to throw a Hail Mary and hope that someone has an idea here. I am looking for a dashcam setup that allows me to mount it on the dash. Specifically, I want to use the ball mount I already have. (Photo attached) This will allow me to use the windshield as intended.
I ordered a Vantue N4...
Not scared of CP4. My Ram Ecodiesel has over 150k trouble free miles, with much of that towing a 7x16 enclosed.
But this is the retirement truck. No need to move and haul heavy trailers anymore.
Definitely not pulling close to rating. In fact, I'm downsizing to this because I don't need towing capacity anymore. What intrigued me about the max tow was the axle upgrades and engine cooling. South Texas is hot!
After several years without a Jeep, I'm finally back in the US fulltime and on the hunt for a Gladiator with a diesel. I'm going to look at one today, but I've run into something that I can't quite identify and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I know the original Max Tow models had weird...
