I have an old farm truck that the tire keeps leak air and the rim is pretty rusty. I know I could just have a tube put in it but tubes are not rated for the weight this 3/4 ton truck hauls... did I mention it has 1ton springs. Goal is to get two rims and all 32 new lug nuts Rim bolt pattern is 8 - 165.10 Any suggestion would be great on where to find? Discount Tire, Belle Tire can not get steel rims with that bolt pattern

Well the verdict is in.. engine is toast. antifreeze in oil, cylinders 2 & 4 full of oil. Not only that but the car needs struts and brakes. So in short the car just isn’t worth fixing.

this spit out a ton of codes… no idea IMG_2151.mp4

The key dance to get the codes doesn’t work on this particular avenger but the reset ETC does work. it moved good and got easily up to 50mph but it’s a not for about 15 seconds and goes back to limp mode and the engine runs horrible. Acts like it’s in a high gear even when selected to neutral. i just have a check engine light but because the reset of the ETC seems to fix the issue going to look at replacing it and it’s also known to be a common issue with these avengers

What is limp mode? When the ECU (engine control unit) notices a problem with one of the powertrain systems that can cause major damage, it sends the engine into limp mode. Now, when a vehicle is in limp mode, the power is significantly reduced, the vehicle will have a speed limit (20 mph), and sometimes it won’t shift higher than the third gear. Probably best to identify why the care went into limp mode so let's get the codes Someone said get the codes by doing the key dance which is "without actually starting the car, you put the key in the ignition and turn it ON-ACC-ON-ACC-ON and leave it there." the codes should show up in the odometer. COMMON Issue is the ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) Someone said, "Try resetting the ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) which is a plastic switch under the pedal.. To reset the ETC place you vehicle in the run position without starting and depress the gas pedal and release all in 2 seconds (1 down and 1 up). You should hear a confirmation "ding" if done correctly. I'm not sure if this process is the same on all Dodge vehicles but I would bet it is." Some mentioned changing the pedal assembly for the throttle is pretty easy. "the throttle/pedal assembly is really easy to replace. Remove the 3 nuts, drop it down. There's about 6 inches of wire. Then unplug it. The pedal I removed was part number 04891585 AC. The new part was 04891585 AD." Throttle Body Issues A common issue on the second generation Avenger is a malfunctioning throttle body. This problem typically only affects Dodge Avengers equipped with 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and can occur in all model years from 2008 to 2014. Common symptoms of a faulty throttle body in the Avenger include: Lightning bolt symbol on dash for Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) issue Goes into limp mode and can’t get to higher speed Engine stalling problems Rough idle Check engine light The throttle body in the Avenger’s 2.4-liter engine can get clogged up with gunk and oil from the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system. When it gets too dirty, the butterfly valve can start to bind and start causing engine running problems. Over time, the plastic gears that turn the valve can wear out and break due to the binding. A lot of Avenger owners were able to fix their engine stalling and limp mode issues by cleaning out the throttle body using a fuel system cleaner or something like Sea Foam Spray. You can also replace the throttle body which costs $200 to $300 at an auto parts store. After replacing the throttle body, you’ll also need to recalibrate it using these steps: Turn the ignition to the “ON” position Wait for most of the dashboard lights to go out Slowly step on the gas pedal and hold it down for 20 seconds Slowly release the gas pedal Switch the ignition to “Off” In some cases, Avenger owners have also had to replace their ECU to fix their stalling and limp mode problems.

Mother n Law has a 2009 Dodge Avenger SXT with the 2.4L and it just won't go over 20mph which I'm assuming is limp mode. How do you get it out of limp mode?
