Thanks. I suspected it was something like that, but am surprised that pushing Enter doesn't forward the system to display whatever the relevant milestone is. It's just a blackbox issuing a warning without specifying what it is. I will check it again to see. -Best
-
When I start my engine I get the following notification (see image attached) which I can't identify -- no other information. If you press Enter it says, "1 Warning" then only gives you the option to "Exit" This repeats endlessly every time I start...
-
Thanks. All good now with the oil gauge. Although I'm starting to get the infamous "roar sound" that the 2017 V8s are getting. Sounds like a fire breathing dragon mating with a schoolbus. Seems to be some loss of acceleration too. Might have to take her in again anyway...
-
Thanks. Indeed the light had been set to go off at just 500 miles. I was probably just misreading the gauge as applying to pressure or amount. -Thanks
-
My "Oil Reminder" light goes on when I start my 2017 V8 (after owning less than 2 months) and just 1,100 miles. Anyone else have a similar problem? The oil monitor digital display shows around 40-45% of the horizontal bar full.

Yes the Sumitomo Encounters seem to have a "bulgy" sidewall that could be the reason they touch the door so easily. Gives it a "burly" look too.
-
I also like the wider stance, it reduces the rollover risk if only just a bit.
-
Yes it is! I had to search far and wide for one -- ended up buying it from a dealership more than 200 miles away...
-
Thanks for letting me know. I can check, but as it stands I'm OK with the door "just touching" the tire.
-
By the way, would you have any idea how much $ (ballpark) one might get for the full set of 2017 OEM wheels and transforce tires (less than 500 miles on them)...?
-
Sure, it's 17" x 8.5, 20 offset. The actual model number is AR90178580720 per the installer. -Best

Here's a couple pics of new American Racing 901 17" rims with Sumitomo Encounter HT 265/70/R17 tires -- the rear door now literally kisses the tire (but doesn't rub hard enough to be prohibitive).

BedRug or VanTred Cargo Mat?
Orvinfive replied to Ryan Stotts's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Can I ask if this required any cutting or did it come pre-fit for the NV "internal footprint" perfectly? I was thinking of getting it for my NV passenger -- but cutting it in half to cover just the 4th row area (where I have no seats) -- possibly even "cookie-cutting" other areas to fit the 2nd and 3rd row seats to suit any future configuration (like a jigsaw puzzle)... -
Monstrously beautiful. -
Do you have a fitted/customized rubber surface in there by chance?... -
Funny Jalopnik write-up about the NV 1500, 2500, 3500

Plus the NV is WAY SAFER in a frontal collision (at least from the NV's point of view :-) ) -
I just installed one from Vardsafe and it's working pretty well. Always on even when in drive.
-
Thanks -- although it's only been one day. I'll post a follow-up if there are any issues with it.

Here's some pics of my lighted visor mirror setup. For each visor I used: A visor mirror from CUSTOM ACCESSORIES 53331 (2-pack on Amazon). A pair of Kuled 10-led motion sensing stick, magnet mounted (3-pack also from Amazon). The nice thing is the magnet mount lets you easily remove the light to change batteries (4xAAA). It's quite bright (perhaps too bright) so you might try a smaller LED light system, but it works. No special connections required (I attached it with the adhesive that comes pre-mounted on both the mirror and the light). The light comes on when you flip down the visor in the dark. When you put it back, it stays on for about 10 seconds and then shuts off. Driving over bumps has not set it off accidentally yet. So far, so good...

Here is the final product! Charley camper van is done!!

Amazing. -
Thanks for posting this. So if you want to remove all 4 seats in the 4th row, you only need 8 of the short ones, correct? -Thanks
-
Sorry, Just say you already answered this question. -thanks
-
I also want to get an "always on" rear view camera (for safer lane changing, etc.) Can I ask which model you purchased? -Thanks
