    No reverse

    Maybe. But I don't have parking brake shoes in there anymore. They got taken out several years ago when I did brakes. I haven't ever tried to use the parking brake ever since I got the vehicle. I was using chatgpt to try and diagnose this. It suggested there was maybe something bound up...

    No reverse

    I think I can safely eliminate the rear axle from this. I pulled the cover today and drained the oil to make sure nothing was floating around that wasn't supposed to. The gears all seem to look ok and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Only a small amount of filings on the magnet for...

    Problematic P2135 code

    I've been dealing with this myself. For a while I was getting a p1516 and p2135. For a while wasn't able to really go for more than a day or two without a reduced power incident. It would usually happen during engine while driving with the engine warming up. Bumps never really seemed to...

    No reverse

    I do have 4 wheel drive. I did have all 4 tires off the ground earlier today. They all spin ok. I didn't try the driveshaft though. I have a gravel driveway so I don't have super good ground for jack stands. Not noticing any abnormal noise or catching in rotation. The only thing I really...

    Suspicious right now of the rear differential beginning to fail. I don't have any way to drain it right now though to see what it looks like inside.

    No reverse

    Let's see what you guys think here. I was out and about this morning and had stopped to grab something from work. When I went to back up from the building so I could leave, I suddenly couldn't. For some reason it was like something was blocking me from moving. But I was able to move forward...

    Overheating trouble

    @OR VietVet it had been sitting for maybe a half hour at that point so it wasn't hot. It was warm at the water pump connection. But the long stretch over the fan shroud wasn't so cold either that I couldn't squeeze it.

    Overheating trouble

    @OR VietVet the upper hose did have heat. I had checked it before I ran it here when I did the graph from this morning. @noodlesandsam2 that I'm not sure. I would have to test it.

    Overheating trouble

    I kinda wonder now if the issue is something to do with the coolant temp sensor circuit. Is there something that messing up the value being broadcast over the CAN network. Why would the data when I was running the graph spike? Was there something that was making the gauge read artificially...

    I'll get one just in case I need it.

    Overheating trouble

    This is interesting. It's running right now maintaining about 74C which is about 165F (I can't get the units changed to F). The upper hose does have heat. I have a graph running on my scan tool to show the progression of the system heating up and there was a spike where it went to 135C.

    Overheating trouble

    I was kinda wondering if it was the thermostat. The fan is moving air and nothing blocking the radiator. Coolant is full. I'm in northern Wisconsin.

    Overheating trouble

    Maybe what I should do is try taking the temperature with an infrared thermometer on like the thermostat outlet. Because I wonder if that value that's being broadcast is actually correct.

    @OR VietVet I had luckily had mine with. It was indeed that high. And got higher.

    Overheating trouble

    Anyone ever dealt with engine overheating with extreme cold? It's -30 here this morning and my coolant temperature was climbing past 240F.
