    Re-circulation Blend Door - where/how/ehh?

    Lock lock lock lock lock lock lock LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK LOCK

    I've had a back burner issue on my rig where the DIC would display driver's door open. Was hoping to wait until the weather got nice But.... Today, it decided to go full yeehaw into dummy land. The doors seem like they're stuck in a lock loop, with the DIC continuing to display the message...

    Oil Analysis Results - 5000/170k mi

    Figured I'd do a health check on my rig. Mainly just to poke at the casttech heads and see how those are. But also to see how my weird maintenance habits perform in the real world. They came out pretty good, so, I figure I'll share my ways with y'all. Do with that what you will. - Oil pump...

    Horn works intermittently - bad clock spring?

    That's about it. Pressing different areas doesn't help it. Nor does trying to rapid-fire it to see if I can dislodge dust or something. However, I can go from not-working to working by turning the wheel. 'Bout all I can think of. Does this track? I kind of want to be wrong because these little...

    What's the width measurements between the wheel wells in the trunk on these rigs, and diagonal size between floor-right and roof-left corner? I lost my tape measure and need to sort if something will fit

    Rear hvac temperature control works slowly/intermittently

    Been like this for a while now.... But it needs to not be like that. Issue is this: the rear temp control doesn't change immediately. However, I can set it to all-hot or all-cold and days/weeks later, it'll finally pop over. Issue presents the same behavior whether using the front OHC controls...

    My carpets make me gag. How do I clean them?

    Previous owner did a number on the interior and I'm only just now getting around to it. Decade old coffee stains, sugary drinks, stuff that was under the floor mats, couple mold spots from a water leak. There are some spots that are so gross and sticky I can leave thumb prints. I'll put it...

    Service 4wd - but only in 2wd

    Finally bothering me enough to deal with this I'll generally get a service 4wd popup after about 30 mins of driving. But only if I'm in 4wd. If I'm in 4hi / 4auto, message never shows up. Furthermore, if I go from 4wd to 2wd while driving, the message will appear after several minutes. - 4hi/4...

    How in the F do our thermostats work???

    This has been bothering me the more I think about it So our rigs have a reverse flow system on it. The radiator is pressurized by the waterpump, but return to the engine is blocked by the thermostat So then the return to the thermostat is going to be receiving cold coolant Likewise, the...

    Heater core flow direction

    Well... there are 2 hoses coming out of the engine. Anyone know which hose is heater-out and which is return to block? And perhaps size if you have it handy. But really... I just need to know which one's the return on the block. Little difficult to tell at a glance. Going to install a...

    Rim sizing is about to make my head explode

    Going to need a set of tires here in the coming months. Been itching to go to some 20s I want to pick up a set of factory 20" wheels from some other truck (aftermarket quality sucks in my experience). But.... My head's spinning as far as selection goes. Ideally, I want to keep a close /...

    p/s pump due for a replacement

    Mine's old and tired. She's pushing 170k. No leaks, but it's definitely lacking in the pressure department. Hot steer at parking lot speeds is getting stiff, and hydroboost is beginning to lack. Have trouble engaging ABS at full pedal application. Slightly thicker fluid seems to help, but that's...

    Balancing beads?

    Curious if they work. My vehicle is always caught between two extremes... Either it sits for a while un-driven and gets flat spots in the tires, or I put a 1200 miles on the thing in a week. Pretty annoying getting re-balances constantly when they end up a half ounce off-kilter. Of note: Do...

    Rattling / Resonance from RR under light throttle

    Took me a bit to realize this was coming from the hoe and not the construction site Sound comes from RR area from the perspective of the drivers seat. Seems to be worse when cold, between non existant and barely noticeable when not (30+min drive time). Happens at a very specific RPM ~1300...

    Removal of wiper sprayer?

    Want to get the pass. side wiper sprayer off the arm. It's clogged and I'm not having much luck with it on the vehicle. Don't have a puller else I'd remove the whole arm. Tried to finagle it out but it's stuck in there by something I can't entirely identify. Can't get a good angle on it to...

    Best jump box?

    Well, mine failed me in my time of need. Even fully charged, it just didn't have the balls to get me turned over and started from a dead drain. I'm aware project farm did a video on it. Just looking for more insight. The more the merrier! I don't really care if it's one of the compact lithium...

    Lifespan of spinny bits?

    So I have 151600mi on my rig right now. And it occurs to me I'm still on the original trans, power steering, steering box, hydroboost, alternator, and rear end. No leaks or noise to speak of at the moment from any of it. But I tripped out a bit the other day wondering when the stuff normally...

    Pass. Wiper Spray Inop.

    Driver's side sprays. Passenger side does not. Happens well above freezing so frozen fluid is ruled out. I use the really nice wiper fluid that's good to almost -40 too. Tried scrubbing the spray nozzle with a toothbrush with no success. Driver's side sprayer operates with the appropriate...

    So how does this rig handle interior lights?

    I have an interesting "what the fuck is going on" moment right now Swapped map lights to led. Turn on all lights with the dial, full brightness. Open door, full brightness. Close the door, turn it on with the button: 10 percent output. Click the manual button with the door open, it dims...

    Question: Trans-cooler trans-flush

    Now that I have your attention: Which hose do y'all take off to pump fluid out? I somehow can't find it now that I'm looking for it. Need to know the direction of fluid flow for a (directional) filter and seem to be unable to locate reliable documentation.
