    Just for FYI... As I was a fixing my Power Steering Pump leak, I found a vacume hose just a hanging... It was connected to a "device", drivers side, wheel well cover. On trucks with factory air box I think it would be between it and the driver on the wheel cover. It looks kind of like a...

    Early morning transmission issues....

    I have noticed the last couple of mornings that I drove my truck, the transmission acted like it didn’t want to go. I put it in drive, and waited for the familiar grab, but it didn’t happen as soon as before. It waited several more seconds, and then after that it was OK. It was a cool morning...
