    198000 miles engines seized up!

    Check and see if you grid heater cable is loose at the manifold... There is no "design flaw" more likely you have something else going on. Is the truck tuned? and modifications? More information on the truck and what happened would be helpful.

    Cruise control/turbo actuator

    Cruise control itself has nothing to do with the turbo/actuator, But just about any engine/powertrain code stored in the system will prevent cruise from working. The fact that you replaced a faulty actuator (which cleared the codes) is what fixed your cruise

    Check engine light 2012 dodge ram 3500

    We need to know what the codes are to be of any help. it's just blind guessing without them. .

    2025 Toyota 4runner Trailhunter

    Here is the 24 5th gen my wife just picked up but I'll be tempted to see what they will give us on a 6th gen. I know a lot of diehard 5th gen owners are hating on the new version and will be paying a premium for the "last of the good gen" as they say. lol. Included the Ram truck in the...

    Big Tank programming

    Look into the AlfaOBD program, pretty sure you can change it using that

    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    Do you have a trailer brake controller? Just another thought as it was something that came up when doing a google search on this issue. .

    2025 Toyota 4runner Trailhunter

    Congrats! Just bought my wife a 2024 4Runner ORP. Tried to get her to hold out for the 25 but she didn't want to wait, I wish she would have! .

    Cummins Killer Bolt.

    The stock entrance can handle enough airflow to support ~600HP which is far above what 99.99% of the people are running so there shouldn't be any choking going on. (this was dyno proven but some of the top tuners in the business). .

    Transfer case

    I suggest you get under the truck and check it out before jumping to conclusions and going down a rabbit hole. Typically these trucks have a little play in the rear differential so you may want to check that first.

    Looking at buying but have a concern.

    I would suggest you test drive it and see for yourself, but it doesn't sound good. I'd budget for a trans if you decide to purchase, as well as a complete front end rebuild if it hasn't been done already, it's probably in need of hubs, ball joints, etc being that old.

    Talk me out of a TRX!

    "Dream" cars are not practical and you will get tired of it sooner then you think and will be so upside down on the purchase you will never get close to recouping your money given the asking price. Once the newness wears off you will regret the purchase. I see a lot of people dumping them after...

    Ah, thought you had a diesel. Not sure where the gas one is

    After swapping-New 8.4" radio dead? Plz help diagnose

    The "too good to be true" price may bite you but I would check the radio fuse for starters, it's in the wiring harness in the engine bay. Passenger side upper firewall.
