Q: i seem to remember from about 4 years ago when i last did the adjustment to the tranny bands that it was childs play. like i said its been a while. i really dont think its gonna be that hard. i do recommend that if you intend to keep the vehicle for any amount of time you get the factory service manual. its about 100 to 140 bucks and you can call your local dodge dealer to get the number to call and order it. --hc .

clear the windshield and the mil came on. the on-off-on-off-on doesnt return any codes. did the odometer just read pdone if not you didnt do it correctly. no it didnt. it just displayed the normal mileage. ill have to try it again. well i never could get the odometer to read pdone but its a moot point now. the light went out this morning. i think ill write this one off to a loose gas cap. mike .

bob g. wrote the honda accord with the electric motor rated at 29 & 37 racked up 20.4 mpg i have no experience with the accord hybrid but my mothers civic hybrid did a real-world 47mpg on the highway on a trip to new jersey and back from florida late last year. as far as the defroster sucking up fuel thats because the engineers at the car companies assume their customers are idiots and wire up the defrost to run the ac compressor whether its needed or not. if they would go ahead and switch from an engine driven compressor to an electric one then it would have a much diminished effect on fuel economy. last time i looked the gas mileage of the us fleet was around 20mpg which is the lowest its been in 20 years and instead of getting better its getting worse. ap its called hemi hd 8.1 liter h2 escalade yukon ram f250 silverado... funny how ten years ago 220 hp was a lot. now its insufficient. tell me just how much do those groceries and soccer balls weigh do you really need 350+ hp on tap while parked in traffic a honda civic sits motionless in traffic just as well as the tallest 4x4 you can find! just goes to show how insecure so many people are and how willing they are to spend the extra money for a little compensation. as for some folks that do need a big truck contractors landscapers 5th wheel pullers if people bought what they needed and were not afraid of who might see them in a little car then the national average mpg would go up and the fuel prices just might maintain a reasonable price. .
