ecmilley Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 installed a few of these, if the option is there go to a dealer not a sublet joke of a dealer either, we charge 3 hrs to install remote starts in newer Chrysler products usually involves replaceing win module adding attenna changing option package for vehicle download new vehicle configuration and done not all years that easy and not sure of kit cost find most aftermarket ones work ok at first but when there is a problem tough to figure out usually just rip them out and replace them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 how do u get the diffs and transfercase warm lol just nitpicking 2 wheel drive and he picks the back end off the ground with the forklift and puts her in drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) When I bought the truck with 22 kms on it the service guy said the worse thing you can do is wait until the fluids are warmed up. Drive it cold. It only takes 5 minutes to warm up driving down the road. When she finds out it is going to be over 700 bananas that is going towards a new kitchen next year. I just asked her, no way she wants one now. Thanks for all the help, considered the thread closed on my part. Discuss amongst yourselves. Wormdunker I paid 25K for my first home, that would be 3 with change left over. 80K for a freeking Ford truck is nuts in my books, sorry. No wonder you are still working in camps 6 to 8 weeks at a pop in your 70's. Edited December 15, 2016 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 2 wheel drive and he picks the back end off the ground with the forklift and puts her in drive Bush league!!! Just use a magnetic oil pan warmer on it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Bush league!!! Just use a magnetic oil pan warmer on it!!! Until it ignites the oil and burns your car to the ground, lol. Coolant heater like a Zerostart is the way to go. Ran those on all of my diesels, works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I know he doesn't look his age Rick and I look older than I am these days. He works his buns off and I don't. Coincidence? Even if he only make a few lifts a day for me being away from my home is work enough for me. I have traveled the globe to sit in meetings and at first it was an adventure until it became work. I remember talking to someone on the phone from the airport and he asked me where I was. I had to ask the guy sitting next to me where we were. Travelling to exotic destinations and those not so exoctic like Gary Indiana wears thin fast. I always tell him if he enjoys it go until you don't anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) I have traveled the globe to sit in meetings and at first it was an adventure until it became work. Travelling to exotic destinations and those not so exoctic Some times I miss those days (mainly due to the pay I was earning) but most days I don't. So I hear yeah there! But I did really like my time in New Bern NC when I went there... Edited December 16, 2016 by GBW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted December 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Like I said when I was younger, 25 years younger, it was beyond an adventure. Who wouldn't want to go to Tokyo and take the Shinjuku (bullet train) south to Osaka doing over 300 KMH while seeing a snow capped Mount Fuji through the bubble window while drinking copious amounts of warm Sake and ice cold Ashani (sic) beer. The biggest culture shock in Japan is that on almost every corner of every city and town you could get pre mixed drinks, Sake and beer from vending machines. Then stopping in Oahu or San Fran for a cool down on the trip back. Spending 3 weeks in Iran and kissing the ground at Pearson when we got back was about what did me in. Each of us had a " tour guide" kindly supplied from the Iranian Government free of charge. It took 6 hours to clear customs waiting to be interviewed by the RCMP and CSIS. It was great but as I reached my mid 50"s I was done like dinner. Once I turned down a few trips to God forsaken places into the rust belt and southern US destinations the phone stopped ringing. Never, ever go to Gary Indiana for any reason whatsoever. Unless that is you are willing to carry a handgun around on night shift because robberies by employees are common inside the plant. The money was missed but the obscure Airport motel rooms and dining solo were not. A few trips towards the end to the UK and Europe I paid for my wife's flights and we turned them into vacations and it cost me more than I was earning. Not cheap overseas. That was fantastic and I miss those times. Edited December 16, 2016 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 No they aren't, I pray they take care of us both. I don't see anyone else willing to though. I thought ASWA might buy the company. That didn't work out so well at Algoma did it? Bedrock, yabadabadoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
