    Check Engine Light - No Errors

    Change the oil to a lighter weight and see if that helps. Maybe a 5w-20 or even a 0w-20.

    4.7L not down shifting, kick down adjustment?

    2008 1500 5.7....not enough heat coming through??

    The only way to see if the blend door is moving is to actually look at it while you are operating it. Unfortunately, that is nearly impossible. But 9 times out of ten if the hot water is circulating and the heater core isn't clogged with dust and dirt, it's the bland door. Buy a whole set of...
