It was a great experience, but being new to the area we missed the opportunity to drive the tail of the dragon. Look it up and see if you can fit it into the trip. https://tailofthedragon.com/

There was a previous post looking for options to transport three kayaks. I found this option on my travels. Maybe it will work for you too.

We are not allowed to have radar detectors in Ontario, but we are allowed to use Waze and users do share information on where police are parked on a highway. Easy to avoid them when they show up as a warning on your display.

I am pretty confident that it only switches drive modes automatically when you restart the ST. Just placing the transmission in park does not switch the drive mode.

Not good, but likely just ran low on oil because they never checked it either. I actually know of someone (girlfriend's landlord's brother) who just drove the vehicle until it died. The oil light was even on and just kept going. This was pre-depower features to protect the motor though.

I have the Costco Michelin wipers on my ST and they seem to work fine.

My vehicle has yet to see the local dealer, and the factory warranty is done (I am at 50,000 kms and 3.5 years). There is still a 1.5 years left on the extended, but since I do most of my own service, it hasn't gone in. I have a two bolt built in Sept 2020, so do not need the parking brake fix...

Hey, I was with the mechanic when he did the initial install, it took 20 minutes, including the time to pull in the garage and install the battery charger. Just have the tune on the device and it really is plug and play. My certified mechanic charged me $55 CAD. Good luck.

Welcome fellow Canuck!

I think this is a good point. Sometimes you design a system with a built-in in weak point so you know what will break first. If you strengthen the weak point then something else might break first instead. I have no idea if a stronger bolt will out perform the diff housing threads, but it could...

Just wondering if you have checked for a screw in the tread somewhere? Sometime a screw will cause a leak depending on how it punctured the rubber and if you park on the screw versus the screw is not touching the road/parking surface. Please ignore if you have already performed a soap or visual...

There are lots of soldering blankets/pads that are used in plumbing that can provide protection.

This is what I found. I haven't gone back in to turn it off yet, but ineffective. Happy new year.

I am jealous.
