    What is this noise on start up?

    My 2014 expy has done this since I bought it in 2015 with 40k miles on it. I didnt think it was the cam phasers, so wasnt too worried. Recently, out of boredom, determined it was a/c compressor engaging. But I didnt think about it being mounted low, and pag oil would settle. There are some...

    Aftermarket Remote Start

    I installed the Fortin on my 2014. Fortin uses existing key fob, depressing lock button 3 times starts vehicle. I didnt want an extra key fob in my pocket. Under $100 on amazon, $40 for flash unit. Fairly easy to install.
