So true MountainDewd!! Every new sound or smell is quickly investigated to ensure all is running well.

"Driver" can also repair the vehicle for only parts cost, automatically. Best of all, it comes standard in all trim levels, four wheel drive too!
Good one DEWD!
How do I check to see if my truck has this
Sounds like something I'd really like. Will it tell me not to park under tree's in the event of sever storms the next time we're on vacation

Because I have been a smoker most of my life.....I can't smell like I should be able to........been known to lick a tranny dipstick more than once if the fluid is discolored. That way I know if the fluid is burned.....Yeah, I've caught a lot of **** over it when people see me pull the dipstick and lick the oil off of it LOL Have even tasted milky looking engine oil to determine if it has that sweet antifreeze taste or if it is just condensation.......
