Stopped at the dealer this afternoon, had my brother help me get it across the street to a restaurant parking lot where we proceeded to swap out the batteries for 2 new ones(Deka) and swapped out the 100amp alternator for a 135amp one. All in all it took about 30minutes. Had him drive the...
Mine does something similar to that. If it isn't plugged in at night it and it is Mid 40s or under it starts but it souds like it is on 3 cylinders and starts out with black smoke and turns to blue, after that it is fine.
My brother is a marine diesel mechanic and he said it sound like my...
Yep, checked the grounds on the batteries. I check them alot ever since the alternator died about 6 months ago. I also spray the terminal spray on them to keep the corrosion down.

Yes, I do have a remote start and it starts and shuts itself off at least 3 times before I go out there and manually start it myself. I don't use it anymore because of that.

I took the truck up to the dealer which is about 30 miles away. On the way up the ABS light came back on, the radio went off, gauges went dead and...
Started into work this morning and was about 5 miles into my drive when I noticed the truck wouldn't shift out of 4th gear. I was running 50mph and Rpms were 2200. Turned around and noticed the ABS light was on and right before I got home the radio went dead. Pulled into the parking lot and...
I don't know what I want. I've always had the BFG ATs and get sometimes up to 50,000 miles on them. Just looking for a diffferent looking tire, I'd like something a little more aggressive, but still get a lot of miles out of them:dunno
