when you lift it, every sensor should be recalibrated if you want
it to be to specification, and perform as closely as possible to how
it performs from factory in regards to vehicle stability and safety
mechanisms. headlights also need to be adjusted
oh there is a lot of back road and logging roads in Maine, but expect
pinstripes if you want to wheel a lot of it. it's tight. [and the 6gen is wider
than my '99 4runner which has wheeled about all of Maine at least twice]
I have zero issue sliding either or both my bikes in the back
I use a panel of thin melamine and lay one down, drop bike on it, it slides
right in easy peasy and pedals don't snag on anything. bike is on it's side
and tucked in and use a bungee on the frame to keep it from sliding around
when...
lower the rear seats
my specialized epic evo pro 29'er slides right in with wheels on
lays on it's side, rear tire up to back of front seats
front tire up to inside of hatch
fits great. gravel bike fits even better (epic is long)
buy a new alternator now while they are cheaper than they'll be in a year
Alternator Load Management: While driving, your vehicle is already powering critical components like headlights, climate control, electric power steering, and active safety sensors. The 100W limit prevents the inverter...
no engine cover
allows systems to cool better when parked
maybe it's about heat, maybe it's about weight, maybe it's
about not annoying mechanics who hate engine covers
'cuz they just get in the way
it is 100% normal
all of them have that lil kink
whether it is a defect or design choice,
don't know....but they all have it
if by design maybe it mitigates some type of
whistle noise at high speed or affects aerodynamics*
in some way...who knows ? anyone ?
*I mention aerodynamics because...
obviously dedicated snow tires or minimally 3PMSF tires will
be better than non-3PMSF
-tire pressure matters
-road surface conditions can still defeat a dedicated snow tire
-studded rules if you plan on doing a lot of snow driving, or mountain driving
-spare tire chains (or emergency socks)...
yeah try to do the change wheel procedures in the manual first
in the do-it-yourself maintenance section of the owners manual
(on mine around page 549)
Stellantis makes absolute garbage. sure it might drive like a silent comfy lazyboy and have mad power, but ridiculous stuff starts to fall apart soon and often...over 35000 miles is always an adventure with dumb stuff failing.
Oh yeah then there is the stigma of driving a RAM in the first...
system is robust enough that if you goof 2wd/4wd, nothing will bust*
(*as long as you aren't speeding and misbehaving like cornering while
changing modes...and doing this a lot)
some scuffing and scrubbing is expected. it happens all the time on dirt
while in 4wd....the problem is only if you...
