I’ve used a cc to make a deposit for the past several cars. I haven’t met with any resistance from the dealers. I’m also a big fan of using their financing as long as there are no early payoff fees. The loans are paid off generally within the first six months, long enough to exist in the...
I’ve used a micro SD in a USB adapter with ok results. Music plays but menu system for the audio controls does not always operate correctly. I’ve resorted to just using Apple Music over CarPlay.
I have read this whole thread. Interesting stuff. It is pity we don’t have a resident acoustic engineer. We have two topics going here: the original complaint about cold weather start up vibration, and the infamous DW,
AKA ”Death Wobble”.
Let me deal with the first since i can speak from...
First off all of the comments about problems associated with short mileage trips are accurate. That said, for most their Gladiator will not be the last car in their lives. Nor is it a showpiece that needs to be handled with white gloves. For most it is a daily driver and the world has been...
Yes, you are technically correct. A couple of things to consider, the first being Mass gun laws are extremely convoluted, overlapping and in some cases contradictory as your example shows. The second being that in such an environment a prosecutor has a great deal of leeway to interpret the law...
I use a Hornaday lock box behind the seat similar to what was shown in one of the earlier posts. Both seat backs are also locked. I will also point out this box only gets used when i absolutely have to use it.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear with my comment. I was making the point that the Mass laws for guns in a vehicle not on your person (or “under your direct control” )
are the same as the Federal Laws that cover transporting personal firearms interstate for activities such as hunting or competition, i .e...
For some reason our 22 sport S came without Uconnect. I'm thinking about upgrading the radio from a 7" to an 8.4". I know the navigation hardware/software is in the 8.4 device, is the Uconnect stuff as well?
I now have a similar Hornaday lock box that goes behind the rear seat and it and the seat back are locked when in use. But only when I have to leave the gun in the car (government buildings, post office etc.). Otherwise it is on my person. I have done defensive shooting force on force...
With a commodity and especially one that has distribution constraints, a supplier that provides 12% of the market can most certainly affect the cost structure. It’s all value being based on a willing buyer and willing seller. As long as other suppliers do not undercut the higher price it “is...
I paid $3.35 in Danvers for regular yesterday. $5.49 for diesel is an improvement. We were paying $5.70 back in the summer for marine diesel in Newburyport.
I took mine in for a tire repair and figured the Tazer could stay. They plugged in their obd dongle to check it in and said, “that’s odd this says your gladiator is blue”. So note to self, unplug the thing before you go back for service. I got the extension cables, so it should be pretty easy...
Off the top of my head, the “gearing” setting probably remaps the shift points and engine/fuel management systems to optimize a Glad with lower gears in addition to recalibrating the speedometer output. Short term the effects are probably negligible, longer term if left that way, the truck...
I have to agree with the consensus; you modified it, you own it. I can say Stellantis is not alone with this policy with regard to warranty. Over the years I’ve had the same run ins with Audi, Porsche and even GM on aftermarket upgrades. Time was this was more of a sour grapes sort of...
