    Sway control

    Just bought a new TT. Dealer is recommending that I upgrade my sway control. I currently use a single friction bar. Trailer is 34' and weighs a little over 9k loaded up. They sad that anything over 6k should have dual sway control. Is this a sales line or should I look at upgrading?

    Gray water tank indicator.

    My gray water tank indicator always reads empty. I haven't crawled under to even look at it. Where would it be and what does it take to fix?

    400/800 Reflash

    Got the PCM reflash done today. Low end torque is up. Trans shifting is also better. Took about 45 minutes. Long enough to test drive a new Taurus SHO. WOW. No way I can afford it but it is a nice car. Oh, and yes, it is fast.

    First tow with new truck

    Took the trailer for a test run after I got it loaded. 6800#. Pulled some decent hills and accelerated all the way up. Tow/haul mode does a good job braking on decent. Airbags and rear sway bar will added soon. The longer leaf springs sag a little easier. Sway isn't too bad. Trailer...

    Vent visors

    I'm looking for vent visors for the new truck. I had Weathertechs on the 2000and they weren't very dark. The new truck is Sterling Grey so I'm looking for a dark tinted vent visor that install in the window channel.

    Muffler leaking fuel!

    I have a black liquid coming out the front of the muffler. It smells like fuel. I just drove to WNY yesterday from GA and got 10 mpg pulling about 6k. Mileage was the same in the mountains of NC, VA, and WV and the flats of GA and SC. The mileage doesn't really concern me but I did think...

    White smoke under load

    I am getting a white colored smoke from the truck during hard accelleration (empty) and while towing. When towing it just puffs white smoke, under hard accelleration it will leave a cloud hanging.

    4x4 not working P1820

    While looking for my miss I got a P1820 code yesterday. Truck will not shift into 4H or 4L. Checked a 30a fuse under the hood and two relays under the hood. If I ground the relays the motor will shift so I think it is in the GEM or the dash switch. How do I narrow it down?

    Enclosed trailer towing

    Just bought a 7x16 enclosed trailer. Looking to know if I should put any type of sway control on it. I have pulled larger travel trailers and had one, just wondering if I should get one for this.

    High altenator output?

    So as continue to troubleshoot my miss(updated info in that thread), I noticed my dome lights were pulsating. I checked output voltage and it is fluctuating between 14.4 and 14.8 volts at idle. Disconnected each battery and they both check out at 12.4V. If I turn on the parking lights and...

    Engine miss

    I have pretty much figured out that my vibration is a miss in the engine. Could a cracked injector nozzle cause a miss? I am thinking about pulling the injectors and replacing all of the orings to see what happens. Any ideas on how to track down the cause?

    Power steering hissing

    This truck is really starting to test me this holiday season. Still have the mystery vibration/shudder. Water pump is leaking, tensioner is whining and on the way to the parts store the power steering was making a hissing sound. Is this hissing a sign that I need a new PS pump? Are there any...

    Mystery vibration (still)

    Vibration occurs in OD at the bottom of an incline when the engine loads up a little (generally a 1-2 psi increase in boost). If I give it more pedal the vibration goes away. I started noticing this last December when I drove North on some of the larger hills. I have been noticing it here in GA...

    Light smoke at idle and excelleration

    I've been getting a light smoke at idle and a pretty good haze on all take offs. It doesn't seem to matter how warm or cold it is. Could this be my tuning or is there something else possibly going wrong. My biggest concern is head gasket as I am losing some coolant. Haven't had time to...

    Rear diff or trans problem

    Whenever I let of the throttle and then back on the truck seems to buck. It feels like the the entire driveline is disengaging and then re-engaging very harshly. I do have some rotational play in the rear pinion so any advice on how much is acceptable would be appreciated. Scott

    Vibration

    It's time to figure out this vibration that I have. The vibration seems like it makes the front of the truck bounce. It is noticeable at 50-65mph in OD just has the engine gets a load(bottom of hills etc...) Usually only happens when cruise control is on. I can make it go away by adding more...

    Explorer causing locking up

    While surfing using internet explorer my computer will seem to lock up. I am unable to click on anything and loading a new page will take much longer than normal. My connection seems fine and I do not have this issue on my desktop. Any ideas or downloads to fix this? Scott

    Left turn thuunk

    Truck is making a thunk sound when turning left. I think it may be something in the suspension but I am not sure. Steering is smooth while driving and stationary. I am currently in the cold North for the holidays. Let me know what you guys think.

    Still wandering

    I just replaced everything from the steering box down to the ball joints. I still have some play in the steering wheel to the point where I cannot drive the truck straight without constant input. The steering is loose for about the first 2-3 inches of travel with the wheels straight. After...
