Warm/hot air only and AC not working
The only thing I would add, is to first read about the basics of how an a/c system is supposed to work. Like anything - if you do not know what it is supposed to do then you won't know where to begin looking. NO MAJIC WANDS. Here is a quick basic theory. 1) Most everything will change (as temps...- 1 MEAN66

Door sticker is also the pressure recommended for your vehicle in the stock sized tire which covers everything that the truck is rated to do, fully loaded, towing etc. If it is not fully loaded and/or towing, etc. you may or may not need that much pressure. The pressure and air volume carries...- 1 MEAN66

Alfa OBD11 ???
I see that Alfa Obd11 can do more "stuff" than a basic scanner. I have a Innova 7111 scanner. Question: Is alfa obd11 a program you add to a scanner? Is it a separate scanner? Only can be added to specific scanners? OR? My scanner is reprogrammable via internet hook up to Innova, which is how I... -

All Weather Tire Question
I would just make sure whatever you get does NOT have any "Nylon" in it. As in the cold they WILL thump for a few miles (usually 5-10) In hot weather they will also but of course "warm up" quicker. Wow just noticed this is old!!- 1 MEAN66

What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?
The only problem with metal instead of plastic is the plastic is designed to take the abuse, metal will not be forgiving! If the plastic does not break what other part will the metal gear cause to break instead. C5 Corvettes have pop up lights, with plastic gears. Have seen people add the metal...- 1 MEAN66

Calibrating speedo for bigger tires
As always, it's what you like. I have stock sized tires (265/70R17's) and mine is off also about 2-3 mph. Says I'm doing 423-43 at speedometer indicated 45mph. Drives me buggy! I just tried to "fix" it. When I worked at a dealer (Albany dodge) their scanner (at the time 2002) could fix my...- 1 MEAN66

What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?
I installed (last Oct.) my Diode Dynamics Front driving -NOT FOG- lights.

1500 vs 2500 for towing travel trailer (downhill)
In my opinion: the 2500 Is a much better "mule" especially with a diesel. But if you are not buying a truck to carry huge payloads and tow "stuff" the majority of the time , why drag all the extra weight around ALL the time you are not towing or carrying? Everything about the diesel will make...- 1 MEAN66
