    Ride feels like crap

    So I recently put a 2.5in leveling kit on. I got the truck an alignment and the shop told me my track bar had some play. I was planning on getting the adjustable upgrade soon but not immediately. On my way back from the alignment shop I experenced my first "Death wobble" incident, after I...

    Airbag light on. No Codes

    It was intermittent for about a week, but now its on all the time. I think I can rule out the Clockspring because the cruise comes on and horn works. I've jiggled the wires under the steering column with no result. Any thoughts on what to try next? I really have no idea what I'm doing when...

    Harland Sharp RR. Are they really necessary?

    So I'm looking to improve the performance of my truck but I'm not trying to build and tune the shit out of it, so I'm having trouble justifying spending $400 dollars on rolling rockers to myself. Isn't there a Stamped steel alternative 1.7 rocker for our trucks.

    Rocker questions

    So I am going to be upgrading my rockers in the next week or two. From the reading I've done it sounds like I am going with the Harland Sharp 1.7s My question is do I go with the stud or pedestal mount? Do I have a choice and/or the pros and cons of each. FYI-I have stock heads.

    Not using trailer brakes.

    So my uncle contacted me to see if I could haul this trailer(EMPTY) about 30 miles to his house. It is about 3800lbs empty. I have 1 question. Would it be ok to haul this without hooking up the electric brakes seeing as how its not loaded. My truck does not have the 7 pin connector just the...

    Strange Heater core issue......I think

    First some truck history. The PO had the heater core fail and he just bypassed it since it was the summer. I replaced the heater core after I bought it in August. For a few weeks after I had a slight sweet smell and buildup on my windows. I figured it was residual Antifreeze vaporizing from the...

    Death flash sticker?

    Is this the death flash and my truck's previous owner was just slow getting it or is this a completely different update? I heard the death flash was introduced in 1999 but the fact that this update was applied five years later has me confused.

    Superchip/SCT tuner with 4x4

    I'm making my first big investment in a performance upgrade. But I have a few questions before I dive in head first. 1. My truck's transmission is a "HD Jasper with a cooler" (what the PO said) is this safe to use with a tuner? I don't want to eat through a transmission. 2. Will...
