    I am about to do this repair myself. Glad to hear the Vista-Pro works well...was thinking about spending the extra $$ didn't want to cheap out. So when my heater core died I cut the inlet and outlet hoses and coupled them together. Did you happen to do this. If so could you point me to the...

    shifting gears

    No I understood his question! I just have a issue where I have tried while in AWD to shift from P to 1 and can't. I know I should be able to. But was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light.

    Compass display not working correctly.

    @Roxy - I hate to sound like a dick but I dont have a owner's manual. That is just one reason why I use resources such as this forum.

    Compass display not working correctly.
