Default 13 R/T odds and ends....

Bought my '13 R/T in Dec '12, with 4,400 on the clock. Demo. Car was born in Sept. '12. 4 years later I have 44,000 on the clock, so 10k/yr. Water pump went around 30k. Blower motor buzzed from new and after 2 attempts got dealer to change it. Otherwise trouble free.

Went for a ride today after 10 days in garage. Almost immediately TPMS msg popped up saying all 4 tires were at 30 lbs and needed to be 36. Came back from car wash and fired up the compressor (best tool I ever bought). Filled all 4 tires to 36 lbs. Then I thought, what about the spare? It had been on the car for 1/2 day 2 years ago when I got a flat. Crawled under and sure enough, 20.5 lbs. I guess it doesn't have TPMS.

While I had the compressor on, I popped the hood. Over by the pass side is the air inlet for the HVAC. Leaves and debris had clogged up the screen a bit. So few blasts from the air chuck and all clear.

And while we're at it, this is the best SUV on the planet for carrying golf clubs. They slide straight it.

they are good vehicles.
I have seen a fair share of waterpump failures.
the spare doesn't have a tpm. the tmp are only active when centrifugal force wakes them up...otherwise the batteries wouldn't last.
