Into a 2002 Grand Cherokee.. This mod will have to wait till we move. Which should be June if all goes well. I need to buy her a new Subaru. Then the GC is mine to drive.

yes sir.. She helps me butcher deer and elk.. pluck chickens clean grouse.. We have a good size garden and dang can she bake a mean loaf of cheese bread.. Now to add to it all.. There will be one more little dutchman in this world.. I guess i should keep the tradition my father started (really its just a excuse to buy another gun) When i was born my father bought me a 22 and let me use it with his supervision when i turned 10.. he gave it to me when i turned 16.. Its the best 22 around.. I know where there is the same gun.. New .. I better get it so i can keep mine.. I knew dad liked that 22 lots so i had bought him a new one also a few years back. These Marlin 39a's are sweet little guns..

Well.. Dodge reset the engine light then tells him.. are you ready for this.. To change his driving habits. That they where NOT going to do anything else but keep clearing the code light.. Dad looked at me with a lose for words.. So.. I took the ball and ran with it. I asked for the store manager.. Father the shop manager and the store manager and i had a chat about it. It was going in circles.. The shop manager says to dad.. Leave your truck with us. we will drive it till the code comes back on. Again my father looks at me.. says to me did he really just say that. I looked at the store manager said to him.. If this is so odd and you expect my father to leave his truck behind.. Buy it back.. enough of this bs. He agreed to put a new exhaust on it as its a code with the exhaust system. He wouldnt tell me the code it showed though.. The last time it took 800 kms for the code to come up.. They knew this, yet expected my father to leave his new truck behind for that long.. I was really impressed with these guys till now..

Just do the delete, these newer trucks with the fancy new exhaust don't like guys that idle the trucks all day. My 2010 had a check engine light on when I drove off the dealer lot. My crank sensor was faulty, dodge just wanted to do did a re-flash, but I'm smarter than most, I bought a new crank sensor. 5mins later no problem.

My truck only does the death wooble on heavily rutted roads, which is almost every road these days in the great white north.

Have you figured out the fob system yet? Classic piece of work there.

Mike.. my ole man has been driving these trucks for a long time. His 2011 cummins work truck never gave him a ounce of problems.. nor did his late 07.. He drives and treats this one the same.. its nothing but a pile of crap.. I know he wont delete it. He will drive it threw the show room front doors before that happens. Today in talking with him he said he called his lawyer when he got up yesterday.. Sounds like he is more "upset" then i thought. I will delete my 11 when i get the funds.. I'm starting a new job soon but the commute is going to eat some cash..

DJ.. i would love to find a nice second gen and set it up for driving every day.. I may still end up in a jeep tj.. i would prefer a cj but thats how things go...
