Yes you are absolutely correct when the system gets low on refrigerant you will hear a “hissing” sound coming from the expansion valve in the evaporator (under the dash area) while the compressor is engaged …usually the system won’t cycle on and off when it is low and every so many seconds you...

They need to be connected to the vehicle during the occurrence (not after) and then they should have enough data to submit to the manufacturer tech line to head in a direction for repair. Let me state one thing - a misfire situation can have multiple causes but with the recorded data a...

And how many times did you smash your fingers in the “drifting “- for the gen Z’ers- handbrake on that big wheel or green machine. No lawsuits nothing but swollen fingers for a few days and guess what…… we got over it and likely didn’t do it again!

Yeah! Been there done that ! Can only base my comment on the OP’s statement he can get the truck to create a miss fire situation when he drives it with dealership personnel in the truck whether it’s a tech or service manager. I agree things generally are not that easy when it comes to...

so I had to test drive with them and the second I pulled out the dealership lot and gave it 75% throttle it instantly started acted up and almost shut off…… that’s telling me he could duplicate on the test drive with the dealership present…….. ? There is your “freeze frame” snapshot.

Yes it very likely is! In the car line I worked on( non diesel ) it would shoot you a check eng light and a P401 code for EGR clogged.

I assume what you mean when you say noninvasive wiring you’re indicating there is no type of aftermarket system that utilizes current key fob for operation? The only reason I can imagine why dealership would recommend a new wire harness if somebody has gone in and hacked an aftermarket system...

This is the only extreme effort I’ll wave to over 4 lanes

The dealership should have the ability to take a snapshot of the issue and submit it to the manufacturer tech line and they (the dealership) are too incompetent to interpret the data then the tech line should send them in the right direction for a proper repair. If you can duplicate the problem...

And now let’s see the $55K vehicles go to $66K and lower quality parts installed with the almighty option to now finance them for 96 months so an average wage earning person ( middle class) can afford them….. at least for the 5-6 years they will run with todays mind set of maintenance. Oh what...

Yes for sure! Would be telling that tech to plan a late night to fix his screw up(at no cost to the customer or the dealer)!!! But in today’s PC world that might hurt someone’s feelings and create a human resource case…..🙄

I’m sure he as programmed as most in his position (for job security) in a “call out” situation that you presented and caught off guard to say “normal “ to spray water on the flames! He obviously knows (if he actually knows) this plug is not a normal worn plug!

Absolutely no doubt about that!!!

I’m speechless! No I did not actually witness this but when my wife showed me on her local facebook thread I couldn’t forget it!

Hmmm? Sorry I don’t have any high end upgrades on the Mojave( kinda like it the way it is)but spent a few hours with a coworker fabricating a door hanger system for the old guys who can’t lift them up high anymore. Pull off your car and install the LF door with the RR and then eventually it’ll...

That’s the world of being a mechanic in today’s cars! “ A lot” is covered by the dealership but 400K is not out of line for someone who has been it for 20+years. You can always account 1/3 (maybe a little less) of your income being towards tools annually. We all know what our weekly payments to...

No!!!! Don’t landfill it! Maybe just put the Jeep stuff above it! lol ? Overall great choice! Good luck with it!

Sorry Jon I cant give you an opinion on what corvette is better (just owned a Camaro SS-I get the winter time blues as I once lived in the salt belt ) and as far as interior choices or rust prevention yeah I kinda just let things be cuz I’m likely not going to own this vehicle 15 years from now(...

If it’s a factory installed security system they should be able to connect a factory scan tool to the vehicle and pull up a trigger event history which will allow them to determine which part of the system is malfunctioning causing this to occur. Thus they should not need to keep your truck for...
