You got the wrong 1500 then. My 1500 is quite quick. But I sure wouldn't want to tow with it. Or load more than maybe 200 lbs. in it. To me, a 1500 is a car with a little bed in the back.

Yep, I couldn't care less how quick my Ram 3500 is, but do like that it'll pull some 25,000 lbs. (in addition to its own 9,500 lb. weight) in the Rockies. That'd be a very slow ascent with a gas engine, and iffy going downhill without an exhaust brake. Electric? Maybe. If there was a charging...

I hope you're right, Gearhead. The TRX crowd has tried (and failed) based on what I've seen, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thankfully we don't have hot or humid here, which is why I'd have no use for a function like that. That'd be great if it works, but I don't think it's possible. Not without having the computer unlocked first, anyway. If AlfaOBD would let me, the 118 mph limit in...

Hmm. That's not something I would consider, or want. Especially since I rarely use the fob for anything. Other than to let me start the car, obviously. Anything more practical that could be appealing?

What is there that's desirable to change on 'Cats?

Have only used it on Rams, so far, but really like it.

That sounds like a guilty plea to me.

I think the lowest my 'Cat has sunk to is about 5,000 feet. And once down there, the roads are full of traffic lights, other cars, and cops, so I can't really tell if it runs any better. Does it run worse at 10,000 feet? Technically yes, but there the roads aren't straight enough to tell the...

Uh, oh. That couldn't be much more than an hour from here (the way I drive).

Make those mountains one of the southerly ones and I could stop by and help. That northerly part where BULL hangs out seems to be on fire all the time, and is a bit of a drive for me.

Would you believe that it was the opening scene in Kelly's Heroes that made me buy my first Jeep? And it's been quite a few since.

Yep, the key to reviving a dead (or really low) battery is to give it no more than 2 Amps, for a long time. It'll never be the same, but could still be useful for years.

Best 4-banger? The Go Devil in the early Jeeps. Helped keep us from speaking German.

And ideally with desulfation.

When the day comes, I'll hook up a battery to the posts under the hood, then replace the battery. The 'Cat's brain will never realize what happened.

The line of those who wish to say "I told you so" starts to the left. And the other two should follow Palwithau's lead and throw out their old school methods and thinking.

Is that what she said??

Meh. Those are like the smoke detectors. You know when it starts getting hot.

I start getting concerned enough to check them after 3-6 months.
