Mike,
What you’re hearing is the actuator that keeps you from turning the key to the off position so that it cannot be removed while in any other gear but park. Mine has started making that noise as well. Not sure what to replace yet, but it is still doing its job. Just being noisy now.
Thanks. Pedal definitely responds when it’s active. I just thought I remembered it tripping on when it’s actually operating.

When you’re in something slick like mud and brake to the point to where abs is supposed to kick on, is the abs light supposed to flash or anything just while it’s working?

Looking for input. My front tires are wearing much more on the outside than inside. Dealership said just needed a rotation. Had a buddy tell me that these trucks wear like that because of the extra weight in the front and turning. I’m not so sure. Anyone else experiencing this? Stock tires with...
Will that stuff work if I put it in the reservoir? My radiator doesn’t have a cap like the old style does for whatever dumb reason.

Great. Six gallons. Purchased two 8oz containers. Can’t wait to see the results. I’m going to run it for five hundred miles and probably go ahead and change out the antifreeze.

I drew some antifreeze out of the reservoir today. The antifreeze looks okay, but there are some particles of gunk suspended in it. I think a flush is definitely due.

Thanks. I’ll change it. Regardless of whether I plan to keep it or pass it on, it’ll be taken care of while I have it. [emoji1307]

Awesome. I’ll ask for the update.
Not doing airbags. I don’t haul often enough to justify the cost. I’m also not so sure how they would hold up to the farm!
I have tried feathering off the accelerator. Don't want to do too much of that with a heavy load going up hill though. I have the ability to lock out gears on my gearshifter, but have not tried that.
I would agree with you about expecting too much, but it seems to do the same type of thing when I'm hauling my ranger on a 14 ft tandem trailer. I can floor it and it will accelerate, but not downshift. This is at about 50/55 mph and not high rpms.
I want to say that it was in the 2-3k rpm range. It concerned me because no matter how hard I stomp down at that point, it does not accelerate any noticeable amount. I'd like to believe I could pass someone going up hill with a load if I wanted to. It would not have happened with this one.
I wish it was a more common issue. I have always chalked it up to torque management. When it wouldn't downshift running up the hill last weekend, I thought it may be more than that. Do you lock out sixth gear when towing?
I should add, I've experienced the same type of condition hauling my ranger (probably less than 5k total weight) on the bumper. It pulls it fine, but when I lean into the throttle it doesn't downshift. It just keeps accelerating (slowly) in that same gear.
Need some input from you guys who haul often. I had a gooseneck hooked to my truck last week and the total load (including trailer) was around 15/16k. It pulled it fine except for a few times going up some steep-ish hills. Going up the hill it would maintain speed, but not accelerate or...
