Anyone have trouble with the blendmount and GPS signal? The blendmount puts the radar in a position that has limited line of sight to satellites. Before the blendmount, GPS would sync within 2-3 blocks. It can take 3-4 miles now.

Does this extend the engine from 200k to 300k? My wife has had a 98 and 2012 Grand Cherokee that both went to 180k. I know she didn't change the oil before 3k.

Is this the first time to change the diff?

Is there a service manual? Where did you get the torque specs for the suspension bolts? That spring compressor looks awesome. I've used the loan a tool spring compressor (Advance Auto) numerous times, but it's a little scary to use.

The hill assist on the 4BW is pretty good (almost too good). I don't like fighting against the parking brake, so I'll wait a second on a hill before using the clutch/accelerator.

Good to know. If you get any feedback in the future, please update. Thanks.

One concern with the auto braking is a vehicle behind you. Most vehicles don't have the stopping power (or pay attention). I will ease up on the brake as the situation allows.

I saw the light come up to notify me, but I didn't feel the brake kick in. It could have been a slight delay, since I was on the brake almost immediately.

For my 4BW, I noticed the sticker and VIN about 2.5 months before it was delivered to the dealer.

Over the weekend, I did some mild defect correction on the new 4BW. Then polished it with a synthetic (Zaino Z-5).

Good info and good comparison for me. I have a 2013 Ram and the paint has no issues. It sees very limited winter weather (one week in the mountains a year).

Ha! I have one for my pool. I'll put it on the road :).

I lived in Illinois for 20 years with road salt. The last car I had in Illinois was about 10 years old with body panel rust. Any vehicle over 10 years old seemed to have rust. It seems that brine is even worse than road salt.

For those that park their Blackwings in the winter, is there a way to tell that the roads are salt/brine free? TXDOT and the city brined our roads last week before a "winter" storm. It turned out to be a ton of rain in our area (.75-1"). I believe the rain washed all the brine off, but haven't...

Looks great. Did you disconnect the factory sub? it might be different on the 5BW (I have a 4BW).

Speaking of winter. How long does it take to wash/remove brine from the roads? The roads were brined about two days ago for a winter storm. We didn't get any ice/snow, but the rain may have helped wash some of it off (about .75" of rain).

I have a manual, so I'm in the buckle your seatbelt and go (take it easy until it's warm). Not the A10s, but in my auto truck I wait about 20 seconds. The main reason is that the P->R is smooth after the engine has settled and fluid has pumped through the transmission.

I was able to get it free. I ended up using WD40 to loosen the top clip. There are 3 total clips. The 2 plastic clips came out normal, but the third is metal.

I can see that the top clip is stuck. Not sure what to do with it. You can see the fatigue on the plastic as I try to pry it out.

I just got my 4BW and am looking at hardwiring a Uniden R4 and dashcam. I'm trying to get the fuse panel off. I was able to get the two front clips loose, but nothing. I feel like I'm going to break something if apply any more pressure. Is there a trick to get it off?
