another scenario while the situation here definitely seems like a simple new-pads scenario...there is one other place I have seen brake fluid go that is sometimes difficult (not obvious) to track. The pads are good, pedal is sometimes mushy, sbut usually firm, but can be usually pumped up in...

Maybe the cardboard in the packaging is made from USA grown trees?

When I started in the auto repair field back in 81, I had the IR231. All around workhorse. oil it daily, and it lasted about 5 years of daily use in a professional setting. The IR231 was freshened up with a rebuild kit, and lasted another 5 years. Repeat process. One thing I had on it...

Tip for getting the rear rotors off For those that are struggling getting the rear rotors off, here is a tip: de-adjust the parking brake at the hub. There should be an oblong rubber plug, in the backing plate, below the axletube. However, there may be a metal slug in the oblong hole that...

in a word....junk. the teeth are hammered and chipped, the splines are peened. The teeth on the ring and pinion gear are relatively hard, so chipping is not that difficult to do. If they are new gears, they were not packaged properly, or, prior to packaging, they were used for the...

the diffs need gear oil...ATF+4 is used in the transfer case. Using ATF+4 in the diff will cause a failure in short order.

I have built and rebuilt hundreds, if not thousands of diffs.....can always tell the ones that used synthetic. The synthetic have relatively low miles, hammered teeth, and general carnage. the dino diffs have very high mileage, well worn teeth, and just plain old worn parts as normal with...

Think what ever you like...you were not in the vehicle to see the conditions. When the temp spiked, granted, it was an intentional spike to see the difference in manually holding 2nd gear and letting the trans do its thing; but it was by no means driving it to hard. A 70 degree spike can occur...

Engine was slightly warmer than normal, but not overheating. So no, it was not overheating..... Everyone has their own towing style....what's comfortable for one may not be comfortable for another....

TJKJ....The trans programming up is not set up for heavy towing. Locking out overdrive does not do anything to change the shift characteristics at low speeds. By manually selecting the shift points, the rpm is kept in the meatier part of the engines usable powerband, the pump pressure is kept...

sounds like th multifunction stalk is flaking out. Same thing happened in my 02. Teh stalk is actually the complete assembly, meaning both stalks and related components. I was able to get mine to turn off by rotating the interior dimmer knob to medium-brightness. The replacement module cost...

Exactly...I was talking about the automatic. Manually shift the auto through the gears. While doing so, keep your foot steady on the throttle...do not lift the throttle as you would in a standard. You console shifter has 3 2 1 detents. Start off in 1, accel slowly to 3700 or so, hold foot...

Towing a uhaul trailer is definitely not a point and go type of tow. The maintenance on the rental trailers is usually less than stellar. Be sure to check the trailer over completely. tires, surge-brakes, hoses, coupler, lights all need to be checked by YOU! Do not trust the Uhaul people...

does it do it when you have overdrive locked out? Thinking it may be converter shudder during lockup.

check under passengers seat My 05 did the same thing. Dash lit up with NOBUS displayed. No speedo, no tach, all gauges inop. Turns out the passenger seat weight sensor wiring harness was routed on the seat rails and had been cut by the seat sliders. soldered the wires back together, and...

Napa has teh multifunction units for about 60 clams Rock auto has them also. Had to replace both of mine (02 and 05). Interior lights would come on at random, not turn off at times.

I replaced mine about a month ago, original seal metal was completely rusted through. Clean the yold, nut, and threads well with a wire brush, then index the nut and pinion shaft with a punchmark. If you have an inch-pound torque wrench, measure the rotating force of the pinion. In order to...

used 1/2" on mine. Snug fit, no more 0442 or 0455

ANYTIME when bringing a vehicle in for diagnostics, you should aways sign a service contract with ..."diagnostics not to exceed $xxx without written customer authorization..." If it is not written, it never hapened. Shop rates are posted, know them before signing. Some flat rate...
