Head gasket leaking oil

Pardon my ignorance, but what FCA vehicles are hybrids or fully electric?  I haven't heard anything about those..

No worries. Fiat 500e and Chrysler Pacifica PHEV.

Interesting. So the Pacifica is both a hybrid and a full electric car? If it's hybrid, shouldn't the gas motor and regen braking charge the battery?  Why does it have a battery charging port?

Well it still runs pretty good with no problems related to HG thankfully, my next step is to catch up on v2 tuning, apparently some more updates I wasn't aware of, I guess I need to visit them forums more often to stay on top. Otherwise I think there are ton more discussion on how to go about v2 stuff. Like its suggested to start canbus at 90 or something for 75hp, but it's still too smokey for me and I'm starting at high 70s low 80s and playing with timing. Once I get it figured out a bit more I think I'll be super happy.

They do not use the gas engine to fully charge the battery. That would make it an hev, it is less efficient on this method. Regen braking will not fully charge it either.

How do customers look at you when you work on their electric shavers and then you get in your truck. Oh waight I know these types of people always have 2 answers. Hypocrites.
