    Re-keying the driver door

    Thanks! Nobody told me matching sets are available, I had just assumed they would be. I had hoped to only get a locksmith involved when it same time to program the new key to the truck. I had hoped to get a new cylinder and a couple matching keys before that time came. When you get a new...

    Fuel pump cutting out

    Closing notes: Ultimately my issue was the fuel pump relay embedded in the TIPM, which, according to anyone you ask, is a real common problem :). It finally showed a hard failure; something I could really troubleshoot. The fuse showed no voltage, and since that’s after the relay, that’s all I...

    Fuel pump cutting out

    That sounds crazy to me. My truck is obviously acting that way, so I don’t have much to argue with. What do you mean “kill it for good”?

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I could add a kill switch to the fuel pump too. Yes I meant relay.

    Fuel pump cutting out

    But 11.5V? I hear what you’re saying, it’s just that 11.5 seems a very high threshold to me.

    Fuel pump cutting out

    So this is a weird one. 2011 2500 5.7. Been running great ever since overhaul some 4 years ago. It just started this wierd behavior where it seems like the fuel pump won’t run if system voltage drops below 11.5. Has anyone run into this? Symptoms would be: cold morning no start. Starter motor...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I got a club, I am now removing the start solenoid every night, and I hid an apple air tag in there. If he’s coming back, it’s going to take him awhile to steal it again, and I’ll find him soon thereafter. A little time is all I’d need. Plus, I’m pretty sure we all know, we don’t have to keep...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I’m definitely doing the kill switch thing. These clowns might come back.

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    Well I got it back. The tank was damn near empty, but no mechanical damage that I can see. None at all. Lots of shoplifted stuff in the back seat, and they were doing some **** or fentanyl too. It’s now in the detail shop for a deep clean / disinfect. I attached a couple pics of the foil that...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I have some news! I just heard the truck was recovered in Wheat Ridge, CO (about 30-40 minutes from me). I called the towing company and they’re going to get it from the local PD right now. They can’t tell me anything about it until it gets to the towing company. This last hour of waiting is...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I only have (had) liability and medical. That thing was go ugly I never thought it would get stolen. I thought I was safe. I was obviously naive. I have theft on my other cars, just not that one.

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I just talked to a friend of mine who is in law enforcement. I asked him if I should start on getting another truck or should I wait. Just assuming mine is long gone. He said to wait. He said newer fancier trucks get chopped for parts, but older trucks like mine usually get used in the...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    Here’s my story. The truck was stolen on Wednesday. That morning, I went to the shop to do some work and get my mind off of this. I’m a mechanic and have my own business. Anyway, about 10:30, my bank calls and asks me if I wrote a check to a guy for “equipment reimbursement”. I said that doesn’t...
