    305/70r17 will fit

    Just for the record, I wanted to let everyone know that Nitto Terra Grapplers in 305/70r17 will fit on a 2WD with a 2.5" level using the stock 17x8 aluminum alloy rims. At least they fit on my 2005 with no rubbing at all. I had to replace my 295/70r17 Terra Grapplers after 6 years and about...

    Leveling Kit Help Needed!

    It'll depend on how much experience you have, how corroded things are, and if you have any help or not. I did my level by myself with not too much corrosion in a morning...a little more maybe. The first side definitely takes longer. :) As far as tools, I rented a coil spring compressor from...

    A little hint for the 4.7 guys

    My EGR was replaced within the first 20k or so mile on my truck. I have 95k+ now. Might be worth looking into...

    Top of doors open at speed

    I noticed that my door would almost sound like it was coming off at highway speeds. It would be like an intense vibration almost, really buffeting might be a better word. What I did was adjust the latch bracket to pull the door a little tighter and up a bit....it was actually sagging some...

    Levelling Kit

    Is your truck 2WD? I went with spacers and the ride was horrible until I got front shocks for a 2500 (2" longer than the 1500 shocks). Then it was much better. Still rides like a truck though.

    Flashing check engine light.

    Is it showing any codes?

    Gas Mileage Mods

    ALMOST is right. That's just looking at numbers. Look at the extra enjoyment you get from working on the truck, the added benefit of letting loose a few extra horsepower, the grin on your face when feel and hear the extra rumble, etc. There are lots of other reasons to do mods besides just...

    LOL! I've been sick lately so I've gotten plenty of sleep and rested up.

    Gas Mileage Mods

    Keep an eye out here and craigslist, you may be able to find a used one unlocked. But think a little bit too about how much money you are going to put into getting better MPG, how much you can actually expect it to increase, and how long it will take you to recoup that much money. All of my...

    Leveling kit suggestions

    A 2.5" inch spacer (a spacer is a spacer buy cheap ones) and shocks for a 2500 (because they are longer than stock 1500 shocks). :) Cheap and effective. I got my Daystar spacers from PerformanceLists.com but I'm sure you can find them cheaper somewhere else. Looks like they have raised the...

    Test Fit New 35's

    This. Looks more like a truck you would actually use than a pavement queen with huge shiny rims and thinner tires. I like that look a lot.

    Engine Dies When Braking

    Now the weather here has been even warmer lately, but I can tell you that every morning I have driven the truck I have let it sit in neutral before backing out of the driveway and have had no further issues. There is supposed to be a cold front coming through this weekend so maybe I will get to...

    Water pumps ???

    On the other end of the spectrum I'm at 95k miles and on my 4th water pump. First one went out at about 60k miles - bearings crapped out. Second one went out at about 80k miles - was really just leaking so I replaced it. Third one went out at 80k and 20 miles. LOL. It was a reman'd pump and...

    Engine Dies When Braking

    I did replace my tranny filter and fluid not too long ago. I probably should double check the fluid level again just to make sure, but it was fine the last time I checked it. You're right, cold here probably isn't cold to anyone else in the country. :) This morning I did crank the truck...

    Engine Dies When Braking

    I replaced the front pads within the last 6 months. I didn't do anything with the rear brakes though.

    Engine Dies When Braking

    No codes at all. That's probably the most frustrating part. If it would throw a code at least I would have a starting place.

    Having issues with the truck dying when coming up to a stop and turning...

    Any details about what the final diagnosis was and what was done to fix it?

    Engine Dies When Braking

    Here's another little tidbit. So this morning when it happened as I was coming to a stop I hear a vibration sound coming from under the truck and then it did it's stumble-try-to-stall deal. Now, I have heard a similar vibration sound like that for nearly as long as I have owned the truck but...

    Engine Dies When Braking

    Ah I see. So can I find out all of this info without a tuner or do I need tell my wife that I just have to buy a new "tool" to fix my truck?

    Could you say all of that again in English and using only small words? :)

    Is there anyway to test the TC or service it? I can't seem to find too much about it.

    Engine Dies When Braking

    So yesterday morning I coasted to a stop to see what would happen and it still stalled. I have noticed that it only seems to do it when it's in gear. If I shift to neutral it doesn't happen.

    Driver Door at Highway Speed

    Well it looks like you have to remove the door to be able to adjust the hinges. That seems like a lot of work I don't feel like doing right now. So I adjusted the latch bracket instead. I moved it up a bit and that takes care of the sag. The door closes fine but you can kind of feel it bump...

    Driver Door at Highway Speed

    Ok...do you adjust it at the door side or the truck side? I can see where it looks like the top of the door is a little further from the front quarter panel than the bottom is. I also see where a bolt head on the latch side of the door is rubbing on the body where it closes. I guess after 8...

    Engine Dies When Braking

    The lines look fine. And if it was a vac leak wouldn't it happen all of the time instead of just after the truck has been sitting for 12+ hours? I did all of the steps in the Operating Check and Airtightness Check sections of my Haynes manual. Basically the steps are: 1. Depress the...
