    Front hub question...

    My hubs are the auto/lock type. I have the symptom where going to 4x4 sends the HVAC to defrost. I understand that means a vacuum leak. But my other issue is this: when the hubs are set to auto (no vacuum applied) shouldn't the front half shafts NOT spin? Mine DO spin on auto and appear to be...

    Battery / Alternator issues....

    I already ordered new everything. Here's the story anyway. My batteries have been dead in the AM a few times recently. Not having to work today I put them on a slow charge all day. After the charger said "full" I checked the voltage and found the following. No load, nothing on voltage...

    Steering and brakes went out for a moment.

    On a long trip last week I had the power part of my steering and brakes go out at the same time. It happened twice and then everything seemed fine. Anyone know if the 2 systems are powered by the same pump? Any ideas?

    Warranty requesting services records

    In everyones experience, Does this code just mean get a new EGR valve? It's been cleaned recently so i don't think it's that. Maybe just finally died after 126K.

    hmmmm...a thought

    ... feel free to smack me if this is too ridiculous. Theoretically, I was wondering if a coolant "pressure" gauge is a possibility? My thinking was when HG's go out they pressurize the cooling system and blow coolant out the reservoir. Since most people are not looking under the hood on a daily...

    Who's smarter than me? with electrical???

    I have a 6000 watt Deere generator I use daily for work. It has issues starting a simple 1 hp stacked tank air compressor. On colder days I need to completely drain down the tank on the Air to get the compressor to kick over. After it starts once and gets warm, it's fine. The only manufacturer...

    Replacing rear diff cover....

    My 06 is in the dealer for various issues. Since I'm having them swap the diffs/transfer case fluids & my rear cover is rusting bad, I asked that they replace the cover with the 08+ cover. I expected 70-80$ for the cover and a bit more for new bolts. They came back with $162 (stainless @13.50...

    Help....

    I'm installing new speakers and a head unit and forgot to order speaker connector harnesses. (that's just what happens when I don't order from Crutchfield) I have no patience and am just cutting the wires. Of course there is no marking for + - on the factory speakers/harness. Is there a...

    Ball joints done, now what?

    After doing ball joints last week my truck is dangerously sloppy in the front end. I gained at least an inch of free play in the steering wheel & when I hot the slightest uneven pavement it wants to leave the road. Is this a case where everything was wearing at the same rate and I threw off the...

    Question Part numbers???

    Does anyone have the part numbers for 05+ seals and o-ring on the front axle shafts. The dealer gave me the 99-03 parts and until the truck was apart today I didn't know they changed the part. So my ball joint / brake job was stopped in it's tracks & stalled until I can get the correct parts. At...

    Just venting...

    06 w/ 93K went to the dealer yesterday for various issues including a oil leak I would swear was coming from the CPS/CKP sensor. SA just called to say "bed plate". It just amazes me that after millions of engines and the 3rd production year of this motor, they haven't corrected casting issues...

    Who wants to laugh at me???

    Over the weekend I was getting my mountain bike ready for the season. Had to change the tires, get the studded ones off, and replace some stripped (rounded out) allens holding my front brake disc on. I won't go in to why they were rounded but I picked up some new ones that took a 3mm instead of...

    Coolant filter ???

    So I added the coolant filter my signature & installed it just like the instructions said. tapping into the supply between the radiator and the resevoir & returning to a larger line near the oil fill neck. Here's my thinking for better or worse: :dizzy I don't understand how this can be removing...

    HFCM drain plug...

    I replaced my stock plug with the brass aftermarket shortly after buying the truck. The last 2 times I drained and/or changed fuel filters I it was impossible to remove with my fingers even though I installed it with them. It was actually hard to remove with pliers too. The o-ring seemed to be...

    integrated trailer brake controller?

    The 06 has the new system. I don't seem to be able to get enough juice to the trailer brakes. With my 03 + aftermarket controller I could lock the wheels at any speed. The new system can't lock them on snow some days. Hooked to a friends truck and an aftermarket controller they work fine so it's...

    Found some front end Zerts on the 06!

    I was getting my yearly DOT inspection today and the mechanic noticed I had grease zerts on the front drive axle u-joints. Just wanted to let everyone know in case I'm not the only clueless one. 4X4 sure seemed smoother in turns after we lubed them;tu

    inverter remote turn on?

    My inverter TheInverterStore.com - AIMS 1250 Watt Power Inverter 12 Volt has a remote on/off switch option. It looks like a household phone jack. The switch they offer for it is something only a BAMA could love (see here) TheInverterStore.com - AIMS Remote on/off Switch- I found another one with...
