Along with our paychecks we received a piece of literature with cell phone tips and tricks. One of them was how to use you cell phone to unlock the car. It sounded like a sham but we tried it out on a Dodge Dakota and sure enough it worked.
There are a couple of conditions for this to work. Your vehicle must have keyless entry, both people have to be on a cell phone, and the other person needs to have a spare FOB (keless entry remote). If your keys are locked in the car simple call the person's cell phone that has the spare FOB. Have them hold the FOB next to there phone and press the unlock button while you are holding your phone near the drivers window of the locked vehicle. The door should unlock.
when I read this I was thinking the same thing you are, NO WAY. Seriously, last night we unlocked and locked the Dakota several times from our business office.
got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....
Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.
Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.
Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular 😪
we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables, winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).
I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.
For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.
I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches. I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
