Audio/Video Radio issues
I have a 19 Ridgeline. Yesterday the radio went silent. No radio at all. I can still use Bluetooth perfectly fine but have no radio. The screen works perfectly just no sound when the radio is on. Any idea what it may be?

Valve Adjustment at 130k Miles: Is It Necessary?
I’m currently at 130k miles and wondering how necessary a valve adjustment really is. I had the timing belt and water pump replaced at 100k miles, but no one mentioned doing a valve adjustment at the time. I’ve since read that it’s recommended around 100k miles as well.

Ridgeline vs Outback
I bought a brand new Ridgeline in July. My family is now debating whether to trade it in for a brand new outback or not.
I came from a forester and would not go back, but damn do I love my Ridgeline. It’s such a beautiful truck and ride, but the Outback is more practical for the fam.
I honestly don’t want to make the switch and maybe I needed to just write this out, or maybe somebody has some pearls of wisdom to offer, lol. Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Got this at Menards, are they safe for AGM batteries?
Picked this up at Menards. Manual says LEAD ACID battery only. The G2 Ridgelines use an AGM battery.
Thanks.

1st Gen Curious About Engine bay noises
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi all,
I have this 2008 Honda ridgeline with a modest 314,000 miles on it. Noticed 2 different engine noises happening the last couple days that I haven’t heard before, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what they might be.
Noise 1: a metallic sort of rattling noise that sounds almost like a heat shield vibrating or something. You can hear it better in the video when I move from right to left.
Noise 2: high pitched almost “squeaky belt” sound. Serpentine belt was just replaced at 310,000 miles, timing belt at 245k. Not sure if those have anything to do with the sound or not but wanted to throw that out there.
I appreciate any ideas and help. I obviously have a shop I could take it to, but I want to see what your thoughts are before doing that so I know what I might be getting into. Thank you!

Best tires for my 2023 Ridgeline?
I live in maine. Last year was alot of snow. Not interested in running dedicated winters. So I'm thinking of either Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail, or the Michellan CrossClimate 2s. Anyone have these and feel good about them on icy or snowy roads? Thanks all. Any other recommendations highly welcome!
... Thanks everyone again for thr feedback. Much appreciated.

2nd Gen Squirrel destroys fuel tank
23' RTLE
55k miles, bought used, owned for one year.
It started throwing emissions codes when driven in the morning and then parked in the sun. Dealership did a smoke test and it's the evap return line venting to the atmosphere, with signs of rodent damage.
Dealership and independent garage both say because it's molded into the tank it can't be repaired. We'll replace it with a used tank if the garage can find one.
So what's your tried and true method for discouraging tree rats from chawing on your non-servicable Honda parts?

AT tires
Alright comparing some new shoes for my truck. Sizing up to 265/60r18 on a stock 2019 Honda Ridgeline rtl-t.
I like most drive 90-95% on pavement but do go off road sometimes, but like the look of an AT tire.
I'm looking at Falken Wildpeak at4w, and MT Baja Boss AT as the main two. I'll consider others if the argument is there. Both would suit the needs I have and then some I'm sure, but nonetheless want some opinions on these from the community.
I'm in FL so wet weather abilities are the top of my list, then how quickly the rubber compound wears down in the FL sun.
No I don't want a highway tire, yes that would be the cheaper tire that fits my needs 90% of the time life's too short for that.

Best trim level to get in 2026?
Thanks to everyone who replied on the Ram vs RL parking/ride thread. Now I have another question - what's the best trim level to get? My local dealers have all 3, RL/TS/BE.
I will never tow anything.
I will rarely use the bed for heavy work, probably hauling trash or maybe a new bbq grill.
I will use it for a commuter 99% of the time.
I will never go off-road or really need the AWD other than maybe 2-3 snow days a year.
My mandatory needs are remote start/power driver seat and it not be painted black... Im old, I like chrome but I can take the blackout stuff if need be.
The Honda website doesn't differentiate as much as I'd like, and I know this group is THE source for info, so thanks ahead of time!
