That is a legitimate concern, but the draw from these is not enough to really be an issue. I didn't remove mine because of the way it was tapped into the wiring harness behind the OBD port. I didn't want to risk any additional damage to the wiring.

The dealers add the trackers for multiple reasons. It helps with inventory control, and keeps insurance costs down by being able to locate stolen vehicles. It costs them more to remove it than they paid for the device. It also gives them the opportunity to make additional money by selling the...

Uconnect doesn't actively track you. It regularly uploads telemetry data to the servers that includes the current location. If you want access to the data so the vehicle can be tracked, or the ability to request the current location, you have to pay for a Guardian subscription.

Based on all the other posts I've read over the last five years, this engine will operate with no issues with an extra quart in it. I checked mine one morning while traveling and in a rush. It was after a long drive from Las Vegas to Albuquerque. It was parked at an angle and showed halfway...

What happened to the spare that came with the truck? You should be able to get one from the dealer, or most any tire shop.

As long as it's near the top of the cross hatch area on the dip stick it is fine. These are not precision measuring devices. I usually check it cold. I pull the stick, wipe it off, and then check the level. The main thing that should cause concern is if the level drops between changes.

It's a common practice and nothing to get worked up about. Contact the company on the label and see if there is an active subscription. If you don't want it, just disconnect it and reassemble the OBD port.

The break-in instructions should be in the owners manual. What I read for my 2020 was something like 300 miles with a no towing restriction for the first 500 miles.

That message means the charge level in the batteries is low. There are no codes stored to go with it. When the batteries are charged enough to satisfy the monitoring system, the message goes away.

These are what I would buy. The Tow plug adapter makes it easier to connect a battery maintainer. You may need an additional cord to go between the adapter and charger, depending on what you have. ACDelco Gold 94RAGM (88864542) 36 Month Warranty AGM BCI Group 94R Battery...

Average life expectancy of JT batteries is about three years. Some fail sooner, some last longer. When one is replaced, the other should also be replaced. If the truck is not driven enough to keep the batteries charged, it should have a battery maintainer connected when parked. Batteries...

It's only a problem if you live in one of the few states that don't allow warranty purchases from out of state dealers. Vehicles only get warranty coverage if they stay in the market they were originally produced for (USA in USA, Canada in Canada). Any modifications to the vehicle can...

That's the warning light that the Aux Battery has failed the startup test. Usually, that means it is time to replace both batteries. The batteries are paralleled together all the time, except during the startup test and when ESS restarts the engine. The average life expectancy is three...

If you take the time and watch closely, you will see the system messages flash across the screen. They are nothing to worry about, and many people don't even notice them.

If you needed to replace the Aux Battery, then the Main Battery is due for replacement. The average life expectancy is about three years. If the voltage level drops low enough, Remote Start will not work. There may be enough in the batteries to start the engine, but the monitoring system...

Yes, you can do a few things with it while connected, but it doesn't insert itself into the system and offer additional functions like the 'live' features of the Tazer.

This is considered one of the best available, right now, but is also a bit on the expensive side. It's on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner for iPhone, Android, and Windows https://a.co/d/79wOTrt

You cannot rely on the build and price site. The website pictures are questionable. The final word is what the system will actually allow at the moment the dealer creates the order, and that can vary from day to day. You can also get unexpected surprises from parts shortages when they start...

The vents are purely aesthic and not intended to be removed and replaced. As such, the seal material likely comes already installed, which means ordering two new vents to get a factory like fit.
