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.
