Nope.
Foot on brake, and push start... start.
Push again off,
Push without foot on brake, ACC.
Pretty much the same with the Charger, and the Grand Cherokee

 

Thanks. I already had to explain to my wife how the parking brake works. The new car also has the engine off at stop feature which can be turned off. It resets with every engine restart.

 

Just push to start, they have a feature of holding the key in a certain spot, usually the push button start I think, and that will give the signal to the PCM/BCM, if the battery in the fob dies

 

Who else is getting these thunderstorms? It woke me up.

 

They rolled thru my area! Finally washed away a bunch of pollen

 

A bunch broke up right before getting to us, rest of the state got/is getting/is going to get clobbered

 

I'm seeing dark clouds and lightning, but no rain yet.

@nickonfire700 What's up with the FJ at the garage? I wouldn't think an FJ would sit for sale for so long. I see it moved a little today.

 

A couple rumbles of thunder in Smithfield, but not super dark nor any rain yet.

Its funny, you drove by me a couple weeks ago in your 4Runner, I waved but I was in a customer's car, so you didn't see me.

That FJ is owned by a private owner, my boss does not own it, and at first the guy wanted way too much money for it ($7500, it has 224k miles) but he just lowered the price down to $5k. The frame is in okay shape, but the body is extremely rough (no rocker panels left due to rust/rot, trim pieces missing, it looks like it had some aftermarket body panels on it). I just charged the battery today, so that is why it has moved. We have had a lot of people stop by to look at it, but once they hear the price and mileage, they walk away (most never even looked underneath, which would have scared them away even faster!).

 

A church in Spencer MA was a total loss after being struck by lightning

 

There’s a great joke about religion in there somewhere to unpack!

 

I'd at least get a regular key cut just in case you have to get in the door if the fobs got locked in somehow..worst case it's $5 you don't use.

 

Smited

 

When I was a kid the LDS built a fuckoff yueg temple with a giant gold Moroni on top of it. Day they opened the doors an unseasonable Tstorm came and blasted the statue.

 

What thunderstorms? Lol. Had some rain though. Attempted to get new trailer tires this morning but they weren't in stock. Ordered and should be in Monday.

It'll be gross all weekend so won't be working on the trailer or truck. Man do I need a massive shop lol

 

I really wish I had a shop large enough for the camper! That’d be the balls!

 

Maybe we need a NEBST shop..haha..trying to figure out my steering issue. Gets a little tight at times. Fluid is full. Guessing/hoping the pump.

If there was a leak (I don't think there is but haven't really dug into it) would that mess with the power assist in terms of air getting in?

 

Dusted off the leatherworking tools and made a little clutch/purse organizer for my kiddo.

 

Needs a blast of lube at the intermediate shaft. Follow the steering shaft in the engine bay. It’s rusting and slowly failing. Lube it every time it’s sticky and you have a few years.

Wait till the rack goes and do it all at once.

 

Nice, what did you use for yours? WD40 probably ain't cutting it I'm presuming..
