Hey guys. Apologies for the delay, I’m just getting over pneumonia that took me out for a while. I haven’t had a chance to pull the new ones out and double check the gap, but I do have pictures of the old plugs. I’ll do a battery pull whenever I get a few minutes under the hood at the same...

In freedom units I was getting about 21.5. Now I’m getting between 18-19.5 MPG. I should have included that in the beginning. In Canada, to show economy we count how many liters we used to go 100km. So bigger number = bad lol.

I got the plugs from my local dealership. The air filter was apparently on back order. But I’m gonna replace that with oem once they get them back.

This is a fun use of Gen AI!

No, that was one of my first concerns, especially with the smoke I saw. I’ve been keeping an eye on that, just in case.

Gotcha. Thank you for the advice! That’s exactly what I was looking for. I’m gonna pull them all, double check the gap, see where they land when I reinstall.

I didn’t check the gap. Mainly because everything I read screamed at me not to touch the gap. But they didn’t seem drastically out of whack. But easy enough to pull out and check. Didn’t really smell any different. I lingered near the exhaust for a minute to try to smell anything, but didn’t...

Oops. You’re right. It’s a 3.5. I’ve gone through 4 full ups so far. The last fill up was 13.1. Plugs seemed to have gone in nicely with no issues. It has always idled rough, so I don’t think it’s gotten any worse. I would just think that if it was a plug or coil issue, there wood be some...

Hey all, So im halfway decent around tools and maintenance. Normally basic maintenance on all my cars I’m happy to do. I got a new to me 21 with 160k km (100k miles). Got it for practically nothing, and it ran great. I was getting about 11/100km on each fill up using premium. Since it was...

I had the exact same issue a few days ago. Strangely enough, no update notification though. I have t had an update in a while 🤷‍♂️

So… I get into the diagnostic mode. But what are you hitting to make the cool guy fancy icons appear. For the life of me, I can’t figure it out. For the chicken coop, my wife gave me a hard no ?

Strange to me that it’s just that light, all the rest are off. But thank you for saving me from a wild goose chase!

I’m not sure how long this has been going on for, but I noticed tonight that the backseat blue ambient light isn’t turning off. Every other light in the truck is off, but this one stays on, no matter how I lock the truck. Has anyone else seen this? I haven’t yet started any diagnostics, far too...

Well there you go. Thanks for teaching me something!

Am I crazy? I assumed on my sticker this was the build date location…? 08/17/21
