If you want someone to drink beer and tell you what you're doing wrong, let me know when you decide to start working on it.

Seriously though, I'm down to lend a hand if you want.

How about I just provide the beer and supper and you come suffer the cold garage space and do it like you're part of my Mopar team

Didn't get to it last night, caught a cold during my CO trip and just laid low. Crawling out of it today, see how I feel tonight. But any real work won't happen this week anyway, so...clear the code again and see what happens.

It would be easier for me to lend a hand over the weekend sometime vs during the week anyway.

Filled up the tank yesterday afternoon, drove it a few places...light went off

Started it up this morning, still off

Must be something w/ low fuel, not really sure how that makes sense...but it seems to always reset when I go from under 1/8 or redline empty to full

I always fill up at the same place, too.

That is really peculiar. Should probably still plan on replacing it anyway

Or just keep filling up when you get to 1/2 tank (or whatever the threshold is) so it doesn't turn on in the first place!

Yeah, I've considered that. I normally don't let my tank get down to under a quarter...but just been super busy and driving a lot to do otherwise.

I'll probably top it off at a half or just under next time, provided the light stays off for a bit.

-7 here today, tank is over 3/4...taking mind notes.

It's gonna be dipping into the negatives here next week for us, I usually don't go below a 1/2 then. Not because I don't want it to get too low, but because it takes too long to put 33 gallons in when its below 0 out!

Downloaded the Uconnect app after I purchased the Mopar remote service...wow, remote start is nice to have back

They sent me a 50% off offer, so I snagged it. $6.75/mo including taxes.

50% off is nice, how’d you get that? I always get stuck paying full price. I’ll probably be cancelling mine again next month if the weather actually breaks.

you are paying $81 a year ... for a service feature ... that was first available in 1968, and included on most cars of the last 20 years?

Was an email offer directly from Mopar.

It's a service feature they give for the first year if you buy new, sure, but after that, and now in the digital age, it's a pay for service feature.

I'm not 50-100 feet away from it, I'm a 10-15 minute walk away from it, and when I get there it's nice to be warm in 10* weather in a foot of snow

I likely won't keep it all year, just now in the harsh cold...not too worried about summer, it cools down quick.

Not only that, but it has find your vehicle service, lock doors...and maintenance stuff. Not fond of that dealer option, they get all the info on your vehicle, but it is what it is.

From what I know, there isn't a FREE version, cuz if there was I'd have it

Tell me how I went wrong, Matt

You had a smart phone that could start your truck in 1968? Damn, I didnt know about it until I got my truck, and didnt even get a smart phone until the mid-2000's. I was WAY behind the times for 30+ years!!??!

Now that remote start season is over, I went to cancel my subscription and they offered me the same price as you mentioned. I'm locked in for the next year now as well for $75!

Nice! Yeah, while it's technically over, it's nice in the summer heat to pop it on if I feel it's real bad out. Was cheap enough that it's better to keep it than ditch it

Does your check engine light still come on or does keeping it more than 1/2 full of fuel fix that issue?
