    tow mirrors

    I would like to put tow mirrors on my 04 1500 for towing my camper. I have clamp on extensions now but I would like to have the regular tow mirrors. Are there any good after market ones on ebay or should I try to find some OEM in a salvage yard?

    Power locks not locking but will unlock

    My 04 does the same thing, but every once in awhile the drivers door will work just like the rest of the doors. I believe it is just a loose wire or bad ground. I just haven't had the ambition to take the door panel off to fix it yet. The drivers door gets the most use, so this is my thought on it.

    Sounds like a bad ground somewhere, but I would be concerned about the 17 volts frying something.

    lightning bolt no codes

    I have replaced the throttle body and the spark plugs. Plenty of fuel. I haven't checked the PCV valve, but would that cause the ETC to act up? There was two times last year it happend and I had to have it towed to a shop because it quit running and I was a long way from home. Both times they...

    lightning bolt no codes

    Sometimes after driving a few miles the lightning bolt will flash and the truck will run rough. I shut the truck off. Hook up a scanner and get a no codes present reading. Restart the truck and every thing is fine for a few days, only to have it happen again. CEL is not on when this happens. Can...
