Wow! Talk about looking for a needle in a haystack. At least they found it. Hopefully theyāll get you back on the road soon. Do they know what caused it?
Awesome! I have one for our BMW. It makes a world of difference and the car feel so much more responsive. Iāll probably get one for my Gladiator too.
I imagine the dual battery upgrade would be treated like any other mod you make to your rig. If the dealership can prove it caused something to fail, then you will be on the hook for that repair. I donāt believe they can legally void your warranty because you replaced the factory batteries with...
Mine has been great. Love it! I went back and forth between the Arcus and Venator. Glad I went with the Arcus. I receive compliments all the time. No rust to report. Only complaint is itās a pain in the ass to install alone. Having help is a plus so you donāt scuff it up. I donāt think you can...
I agree with @jc1986 @kaeo_15. I have the same setup and would buy it again. Based on ease of install, look, functionality, and price, you canāt go wrong.
Early on they had trouble with the JL300 switch flickering during the electronic start and stop if the switch was powered on. The vendor has...
I didnāt, but I fought the ESS since my rig was driven off the lot. Most people hate it, but I like it because I drive a lot around town. Most of the time the aux battery didnāt charge and the alternator was always charging the main battery. After 5,000 miles I just said screw it and bought the...
Iāve had the Genesis installed for 2 weeks now and couldnāt be happier. The aux battery is a joke and was sitting in water when I pulled it.
It sucks I had to fix it myself (well I didnāt HAVE TO, but I donāt have time to take it in) and fork out the $1,100 for the Genesis kit and batteries...
I wondered the same thing when I did my installation. I remember doing some initial research, putting the fuse on the negative wire protects only the equipment, while fuse in positive lead protects the equipment and the voltage source. Since I have it connected to my JL300 Voswitch, thereās...
This is bad luck (something that would likely happen to me). While frustrating, the main issues seem to be getting addressed. Be thankful the dealer is working to address them. While I 100% agree this sucks and shouldnāt happen to a new vehicle, there are far worse stories on this forum...
I had the same experience with my Tundra. It had the semi gloss coat and showed wear and tear a little more. Stuff slid around all over. I also do not like to leave my rig at any shop - including dealership.
Exactly this! I would do the factory option again. Only complaint is they spray over...
This is a great thread. I need to go back and like each post. Itās unfortunate we have to spend so much time and effort to not get screwed when buying a vehicle. I feel bad for the people who donāt know about these tricks. Iām sure most people have had a shitty experience at some point in their...
This is one of the most important videos related to our rigs. Most people donāt realize disconnecting the positive and negative terminals from the main battery doesnāt cut all power because of the hidden aux battery. You need to disconnect the the two negative terminals and separate them...
You have to tap into the turn signal on both sides. Youāll need to take out 3-4 screws that hold in the fender liner. You only need to remove the screws closest to the side marker bulb and turn signal. You can then pry it back enough to get to the bundle of wires. The wire to tap into is green...
Very interesting! Last weekend I replaced mine with the Genesis dual battery swap (my aux was dead, but I did it for other reasons as well). I pulled my aux battery, I had water in my compartment as well. At the time, I wondered if this is what killed mine.
Iām glad to hear the dealership took...
