Repair-It

Troy NY guy took the $200 offer for Blue Ox baseplates for the WK2. The most promising BlueOx 10k lb rated tow bar was a set in North Smithfield RI for $175. I’ll have to see if I can get that one.

Got code P0496 today. I believe this is the same code I had in day 2 or 3 of ownership that went away after I think there was some mechanical persuasion applied to the EVAP soleniod. Reset the code and I don't know how soon it will come back. I suppose I should get a new solenoid just to eliminate t...

I considered posting this in part of the 145k service posting in powertrain, but that hardly seemed appropriate. Since the moderators of this forum didn't see fit to include a towing/hauling category, or an RV-flat-towing category, here's the post. I need to come up with an appropriate tow bar setup...
