  1. Hydraulic Suspension maintenance - Drain and refill

    Hi @100jacks! Sorry for the slow reply, haven't been on the forum lately. Here's a google drive link to all the resources I had cobbled together. This includes a spreadsheet of parts (from Amazon and a couple optionally from Harbor Freight), a diagram of how things are connecting, and a couple...
  2. My totaled 2022 R1T wound up in eastern europe

    That is really great to know, @ragni - I had no idea there was a community on Telegram. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing!
  3. My totaled 2022 R1T wound up in eastern europe

    When I bought my R1S off Copart I was bidding primarily against Ukrainians. I'd been watching these auctions for months, seeing many go to Ukraine and eastern Europe. When it was finally delivered to me it was, coincidentally, on a truck being driven by a guy from Poland and a guy from...
  4. Rivian, offer Service Manuals to consumers!

    Everyone on this thread has articulated this problem perfectly. Offering one more "me too". There are a so few how-to videos online at this moment but I'm really hoping that will change as more people go out of warranty. For all my typical vehicles I've ditched the manuals for vids. I should...
  5. Fluid leaking from the shock absorber.

    Hey @Ingo! I had that exact leak in my jounce line. Swapping that part out isn't terribly difficult. The main challenge is vacuuming and pressure filling the hydraulic system. That step becomes quite easy once you source or build a machine to do so. With @Groovian's help, above (Thank you...
  6. DIY: Coolant Type?

    Hey folks, Edited my original post because I solved all my issues except one very difficult one. Does anyone, and I literally mean anyone, know where I can get a Rivian compatible coolant in the united states? Rivian doesn't seem to- they won't sell it to me directly, over the phone (talked...
  7. Third party repair shop "partner portal"

    Congrats! Did you also get access to any of those paid subscriptions?
  8. Third party repair shop "partner portal"

    I've mentioned this on another thread but I'd love to split the access fee to the diagnostic tools, possibly even training videos. If anyone is down DM me (if you haven't already). Similarly if you already have access and want to rent me access or sell a share. I've finally gotten my salvage...
  9. Third party repair shop "partner portal"

    Nice! Seems like maybe they've improved their process a bit.

    Hey @Riviot! Here's my biz account request email I sent to [email protected]. Took them about a week to approve and send me a login. -----------------begin request email---------------------- Hello, Please find below my application for a Rivian Business Account. Thanks so much...
  11. So... Funny Story

    This is one of my favorite posts of all time. Maybe from any forum. As an adult with ADD who is often passionate but disorganize, I relate and sympathize. I also love the idea of forum posters loading you up with great stops on your way back! I'd buy the movie rights to this story if it...
  12. DIY A/C Recharge Help

    Thank you Ross! I very much appreciate your analysis. I think my understanding is similar to yours. The gauges are equalized (valves closed) but my thinking had been that if the compressor runs, and by the description other had offered it seems it did not, then it will be lower on the low...
  13. DIY A/C Recharge Help

    Hey Rob, Joe, Thank you for your replies! The main symptoms have been (1) it has blown hot since I got it from the salvage auction; (2) it's giving a "thermal error" whenever I start it; and (3) it eventually seems to overheat and slow to a crawl after about 45 minutes of driving. One service...
  14. DIY A/C Recharge Help

    This is very helpful, thank you Rob! So, if my gauges are reading as below, is it safe to say it should have kicked on by now? Perhaps it is a compressor problem? Or could there be high pressure with relatively low refrigerant? It calls for 30 ounces and I'm only 2 cans, or about 16 ounces in.
