  HDJ80R heater valve

  By HDJ80R GNMNXQ

  First time poster, long time user of the forum. I've had my 80 for about 18 years, love it to bits, but it's getting to the age where a number of things need replacing. I've just replaced everything in the AC system, and it appears that the heater valve is no longer working. As we all know, the OEM valve has been unavailable for some time, but I'm wondering if anyone else with an early (12/91) RHD HDJ80 has found a suitable replacement valve. I've looked through the threads here and seen an... Read more

  Caliper piston tool

  By 4spdragtop

  Doing the brakes on Loris Hyundai. I knew it had the retractable piston on the rears. No worries I had the "cube" from OEM at Canadian Tire. No bueno, I've used the cube before and it worked, but what a pain especially if piston is SNUG. Eventually bought a new caliper and moved over to do ds. Same fn thing. I had spotted a kit from OMT on Amazon. I thought for $30 its worth it vs a new caliper at $150..... Kit showed up in 2 days, and altho it was still a *****. It worked way easier to... Read more

  Resting voltage and Charging - 2026 3.0l

  By FloridaCajun

  Last week I took delivery of a new 2026 1500 with the 3.0l. Resting voltage is about 12.2 - 12.3 volts. I've driven it about 100 miles and the voltage hasn't changed. I've been checking it in the mornings and driving daily. Is this a normal resting voltage? Seems low to me. Second question... truck was sitting on the lot for a while and I thought I might just charge the batteries with a Noco Genius 10 (also have a Noco 2), but can I charge both at the same time if I connect to main postive...

  Help: Antenna Assembly/Mast

  By Maxgrapene

  I replaced my broken antenna mast. Elongation worked fine but on retraction there is a grinding noise for a good 5seconds before it quiets down( works fine otherwise). I opened up the motor, cleaned, lubricated and re-assembled it but sounds the same. To boot I dropped the chrome "cap" and can't find it! Two requests 1. What is the solution to the grinding noise; note mast is after market bit it matched up in length to the broken original. 2. How do I get a new "chrome cap" ?

  CX-30 - Strong glue/chemical smell from vents for first minute after the car sits

  By blackprop15

  Car: 2022 Mazda CX-30, 2.5 Skyactiv-G, automatic. Hot, humid climate. The story: - About two weeks ago, one morning, a strong smell suddenly started coming out of the vents. It smells like glue or fresh silicone. It was not there before, and it came on all at once, not slowly. - It happens every time the car has been parked for a while, even 1.5 hours at night. The first minute is really bad. On fresh air it goes away fast; on recirculation it takes about 5 minutes. - It also smells... Read more

  Owners are waiting, please do the right thing!

  By hangup

  I'd like to share that owners like myself are eagerly waiting to see what Lucid will decide to do on the "rights to repair" front for its customers. The status quo isn't great to put it mildly. There is a popular YT channel called 'Rich rebuilds' which has been trying to get some answers from Lucid and so far, the answers have been raising more questions for myself and others who will one day need to repair their vehicles. I'd like to see some leadership from Lucid in this area. The... Read more

  Cheap aftermarket fuel tank just bit me.

  By jos51700

  To be fair, I bought this tank some fifteen years ago, before the aftermarket parts were as bad as they are now, and it a was a cheap impulse purchase even then. Taiwanese fuel tank, the fuel filler hole is an inch and half further forward than my original '72 tank. I'm not even sure I bought the right year. Now I can't screw the seal plate back in and my fuel filler sits crooked. Sigh.... This isn't fun any more.
