What a difference new “house” batteries make. No worries about charging during a 4 day stay on the south rim of the Grand Canyon.    East entrance off US 89 (at Cameron on the Navajo Nation) lets you avoid long delays at the south entrance. Adds 50 miles but the drive is worth it.    Stayed 1 night at Homolovi State Park. Needed a shower and sunset was spectacular.     

Was just watching Hoovie's Garage.  They are fixing a Hellcat.  The entire engine build is on hold because they can't get a set of rings.  Something that should be easy to get on a late model hemi.  The cam was scarce and had to pay extra for one of the few that could be found.  Parts are just hard to get.

Hmm very interesting, thank you for sharing that.  I guess that makes me feel less alone.  I emailed the Nissan dealership I ordered some interior panels and a fog light switch from 2 weeks ago (emailed them 2 days ago), and so far no response. 

Not just these vans.  Every vehicle is having these issues.  Trying to remember the part, but a co-worker was quoted a 14-month backorder for some common part.  I think it was a chevy.  Insurance is totaling fairly minor damage vehicles simply because they can't get the parts to fix them.

There may be some cross model, Armada and Titan, parts that will work. There also are totaled NVs for donor parts.     

I also have a 2019 NV3500 (and previously a 2013 2500 V6).     I too have experienced very low parts availability... and you may not notice it until you actually execute an order and it ends up stalling, than you call and some confused guy on the phone is like, "hmm it says here it's on backorder".    I can't explain all the little signs that give me the vibe that we should be ordering essentials, wear/tear items, spare emergency parts etc. If something is bugging you about your rig, get the parts asap, cause the situation isn't going to get better. I love this one (put in 4x4) as a family fun and emergency rig so it's not going anywhere until I can't get it to run anymore. 

My reply from Hypertech says they do not have a model that works with the Nissan NV3500   In my case, my e350 V10 did bog down with the taller tires and it was especially felt when on an uphill grade. Correcting the speedo made a very noticeable difference. I was glad I did it.

My 2013 just did this for the first time tonight.  I took the key out a couple times and kept trying, but nothing worked until I tried quickly turning the key over and over several times.  My initial guess is the starter froze up, but I don't know.  Does anybody know what the issue actually is?  Have any of you figured it out in the last 6 years since this thread started?  Thanks!

Ahhh now that is interesting (calibrated trans shifting timing).  That was my deeper wonder... if these signals cause my rig to bog down a little in power, more so than the expected weight increase from big tires. I'll have to google Hypertech speedo calibrator... thanks!
