After close inspection with a bright light, I was able to find one small Chrysler “star” in the bottom side of the filter housing, the front side underneath after it is installed. Otherwise they are the same, down to the purple marker across the bolt heads. I can’t figure out why this isn’t an...

Maybe the local dealer is buying from Amazon then upselling $100? ? You saw it on the Internet! It must be true!

A quick follow up. I got scared and covered my bases by buying a part handed over the counter at the actual dealership. I’m happy (sort of) to report that the amazon part sold by the link above arrived today and is exactly the same as the dealer part. Same box, same label, same shinyness to...

Thank you. I have the same suspicion. I also don’t know the failure mode. I’m assuming it is O-Ring failure? If I had available downtime I would investigate the O-Rings and source better materials for replacement. Anyway, thank you for the links. I’m going to call the dealer now.

Perfect! It figures. Your link is the part I just ordered last night. Unfortunately, the same seller is the one representing “genuine Mopar” on all available parts. I think a trip to the dealership might be in order. Unfortunately, 2 of 3 dealerships in the area are absolute garbage, and...

I’m actually pretty sure I did NOT install mopar original. The first failure was over the Christmas holiday in Moab and I had a small 4x4 shop install “whatever Amazon could deliver fast”. I ordered the “mopar” 618...AF from an amazon seller for delivery tomorrow, I’m still driveable, but for...

High frustration here. I’m leaking oils down the back of engine again. About 10 months / 18k miles ago this happened and I had an Oil Filter Housing / Cooler changed in Moab. I’m well aware of parts infant mortality, and recognize this may just be a simple failure, but I’m confused by what...

I’m not sure if that statement was 100% accurate, but it was certainly based in reality. California will not register diesel powered vehicles with GVR over 10k (maybe 14k, not sure) after 1/1/2020 unless they have a certain model year engine and associated controls. Perhaps that year is 2007...

My advice would be to find one to rent or borrow and put it up and down a few times before you buy.

Sewing your own straps into a net should be easy. Use UV resistant thread. Or, use aircraft cable and barrel-crimps to make a net, although tightening it might be a challenge? That might be solved with industrial safety style cable lock devices

Unless you have a briefcase full of cash, you are probably not going to find what you want. Should any fabricator be able to build one, yes, maybe, if they do lots of one-off Aluminum work, and are really awesome... like extremely awesome. The build is not the problem. The design is the...

What state will you register in? EMP proof to me says all mechanical injection, and that is probably unobtainium in some states.

I recently bought a 2018 Expedition with pretty low mileage. After a long weekend running to Phoenix and back buying a trailer, I’m in love with the thing. That trip included some medium off-road, 4-low usage, sleeping in the back, and about 1300 highway miles. Getting in my Jeep when I got...

I’m curious, what source are you searching to decode the VIN?

I’m guessing crappy batteries combined with hot weather. My F250 burns batteries up at about the same rate, maybe a little faster. If the OP lives in a place where dead batteries in Death Valley are a true concern, than he probably (like me) lives in a place where ambient temperatures...

This. I still remember an exchange from my teen years, riding to school in a friends Celica, and smelling something horrible. He killed the stereo while we tried to figure out the problem. His little sister chimed in from the back and asked “Why do boys always have to turn off the music to...

You could also grab one of those little battery packs that are so popular with the cell phone stores these days. I have several kicking around from various phone purchases. They will charge a tablet.

The farthest I’ve walked for a tow, pre cell phone days, was 18 miles. Always include good shoes and water in your recovery kit!

Considering that it must rotate 360 degrees around the longitudinal axis, could it be flipped, so that it doesn’t have to drop down from the trailer in order to couple? Do you have photos in-use?
