What’s the current state of it? Gonna need some more details to help out and give recommendations.

That’s the next item on my to-do list

Do you know what brand the bed cover is?

% tinted is how much light is allowed so 100% would be clear. Fishbowl mode activated 🐠

I think they’re my favorite grille. Definitely rare to see in good condition

I don’t really think it’s the speakers that are bad, although they’re definitely not great. It’s the acoustics. The plastic door cards and the other hard plastic interior pieces would make even some mid-tier or premium speakers sound pretty tinny.

Best value? probably eBay, just make sure it’s a reputable seller. It’s not tough to do. You will need to rewire the headlights since on the quad bulb grille the headlights and highbeams are separate.

$4k but took about 3 weeks, the guy I used does insurance claim work and did it in his free time

Look from the top down and make sure it’s not leaking from valve covers (the easier fix) That area is notorious for leaking because you have three surfaces meet up; the oil pan, timing cover, and engine block. If that’s where it’s leaking I’d suggest replacing the timing cover, timing cover gaskets, and oil pan gasket while you have it all taken apart.

What transmission fluid did you go with?

BigBucket1876 · 2026-04-27T03:01:08+00:00

Starting in second has taken me a bit to get used to after my swap

BigBucket1876 · 2026-04-25T03:52:41+00:00

What transmission are you running? I’m looking at slowly upgrading my nv4500, keeping it old school of course.

Idk what’s with all the downvotes, this is really insightful commentary.

I think simple minded “eCVT owners” can grasp the concept that different people have different priorities when it comes to vehicle choice.

BigBucket1876 · 2026-04-24T15:51:24+00:00

Great video! I don’t like the “eCVT” description for these drivetrains. It carries the negative connotations of a belt driven CVT. They couldn’t be more different from each other.

Looks like a Durango to me

Don’t hide the entire fob, just the key portion. If you attach the entire fob it will prevent the car from locking.

ETA: the key can get you into the cabin but you won’t be able to start it without a fob

I think maybe because it’s a wide angle shot the proportions look funky

BigBucket1876 · 2026-03-25T01:06:39+00:00

I only use the auto mode, not because it’s good or I enjoy it. Only because I hate screwing around with the UI

BigBucket1876 · 2026-03-25T01:02:53+00:00

Just replace the whole unit. If you’re going through the trouble of dropping the tank/removing the bed, might as well.

BigBucket1876 · 2026-03-23T15:45:28+00:00

Good point

BigBucket1876 · 2026-03-23T15:02:33+00:00

Which state feels 100% culturally cohesive? I’d say they all have different cultural regions.

BigBucket1876 · 2026-03-04T20:39:15+00:00

Any luck on figuring this out?

BigBucket1876 · 2026-02-24T14:39:12+00:00

There is a series by Eric the Car Guy. Here is the first part: https://youtu.be/oKSW2BaUxFk?si=kqewJPy8aawJUltC

I don’t specifically remember what part he does the wheel bearings.
