A work horse or 2 would do that.

This is a good point. One of our tech's has told me, multiple times, that DEF has ruined diesel trucks.

Cummins' diesel payin out.

I still can’t start my car without jumping it.
Gonna check if the dealership actually pulled the fuse to the DCM...

Dealership confirmed they pulled the fuse.
If she sits more than a day or 2 she still don’t start.
Called Subaru and they gave me an advocacy number.
Part came in last week. Next available appt. is next week.
The dealership got bought out by a thingythat’s buying up a lot of dealerships.

Bought one of these too.

NOCO - 10-Amp Smart Battery Charger - GENIUS10

The GENIUS10 is a 10-amp battery charger, battery maintainer, and battery desulfator for 6-volt and 12-volt batteries.

Doesn’t use much gas either cause she doesn’t start.

Apparently Amazon vans are considered delivered when they hit Rivian's lot (I do not know if that is true but that is what the forum said)

We are still driving a rental, as my wife's car is out of action from vandalism.

The Nissan Sentra, nice little car, got 41 round trip into the mountains (Adk) and back. 10 MPG more then a recent trip in the CRV hybrid. To be fair the Sentra is a much smaller car without AWD, but pretty much has me set on a ICE pickup when we move late this year.
