    I had the shop re-check the charging system.  Everything checked out OK, still getting charging system alarms until yesterday.   Dash lit up like a christmas tree and car is dead.   I had it towed in again......verdict......ECU is bad.  Possible that bad alternator replacement cooked the ECU?  I am considering getting this to a dealer, however, I will not pay for 2 alternator replacements.   Thoughts?  comments?   Yes we've already replaced the engine due to coolant intrusion.  I am dumping this thing soon. 

    It sure sounds like the shop you've been using is incompetent, and agree a visit to a dealership is likely what's needed now.

     

    Who do you owe money to for the two alternators?

  2. Thanks for that omar302

     

    I would be concerned for the front differential and would limit the distance as best possible using the smaller diameter spare on the front, and the same goes for the rear.

     

    I can see the reason to disable the AWD because the wheel speed sensors would make it appear that one wheel is slipping, but my concern is the two differentials whenever there's an odd sized wheel used.

  3. One of the downsides buying too cheap.

     

    Crutchfield prices are very competitive and tech support cannot be beat.

     

    You will probably need an adapter like the ones in the below link, but which ones will depend on your vehicle model and the 3rd party head unit.

  4. I just checked my JLT/J&L catch can and it was 3/4 full of a condensate oil mix.

     

    Mine is about 6" higher than the PCV.

     

    If yours isn't collecting anything, particularly in winter, then contact the supplier for answers, or you could contact J&L to see if they have something for your model.

    I see the install on the 2.0L is a little more work - need to pull the intake manifold back.

    I bought it from rockauto.com,  it's a centric brand master cylinder. It wasn't the cheapest, but it was listed as the favorite part. 

    This is likely the same issue with the radiator cooling fans and their control module i.e. non-OEM replacements don't work.

     

    If you've had the master cylinder off then you'll need equipment to perform the ABS bleed procedure.

  6. My J&L CC is about the same height as the PCV valve on my 2.7L and works as @handfiler mentioned above.

     

    I would not mount the CC higher than the PCV - gravity would be working against it.

     

    Edit: or the CC higher than the PCV would result in nothing getting up to it or past it, but if that theory is correct the  how is the oil getting to the areas you've reported.

  7. Sounds like you're throwing parts at it without any diagnostics, which most often works out a whole lot more costly - if you don't have the diagnostic equipment and skills it might be best to take it to a reputable service shop.

    I've used weathertech before and they installed easily and were  durable. Unfortunately they don't make a set for the ST model.

    I have these on my 2017 Sport - don't know if the trim is different on the ST - you could contact the seller and ask about the ST

    Finally I replaced a torque arm with an OEM. Now I feel just a little vibration but a brend new OEM tensioner still slightly jumps. Like I said I put a new harmonic balancer and belts. Still no codes(never seen any codes). I tried to spin alternator and AC pulleys by hand, could not feel any problems with bearings...

    What are you using to read codes?

    Hi everyone. Today after changing the battery, my radio got stuck. Now it's asking for an unlock code. Does anyone have this code? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    It looks like you're in Romania.

    Take your proof of ownership to your local dealership and they should be able to provide the code.
