    husky vs weathertech floor

    I have Weathertech in my truck and I got Husky for my wife's SUV. I like the Husky better and they were cheaper. Be careful buying Weathertech, there are a lot of counterfeits out there. Weathertech advises you to only buy them from their authorized dealers.

    ABS light comes on

    It will be cheaper since they won't have to remove an axle to replace it.

    ABS light comes on

    I just went through this with my 2013 4X4 CTD with 140K miles. I replaced everything while I was into it. You can "Get By" with just changing the one, but both sides are worn in a 9-year-old truck. Is your truck 2WD or 4WD?

    Batteries suddenly fail

    Cold weather will finish off a weak battery. However, you should be getting better service than two years.

    Yet Another Clogged Heater Core

    I flushed mine three times. The first two times I did it with the water hose and an air compressor. The last time, I pulled both lines and rented a submersible pump and did a mixture of hot water and radiator cleaner in a tub. I put the pump in a pillowcase and ran it both directions for over...

    Dealership turned off dashcam before service

    Ford tech told me that he disconnects the radio/phone. He said it was aggravating when people were sitting in the waiting room and their car's Bluetooth broadcast their conversations while he was trying to work. And I don't blame the tech for turning off the camera. If I mash my finger, I...

    Jump it off and drive it.

    2021 Laramie 2500 Cummins won't start after Diesel Pre-Heat

    This is what I was typing as I got a message that someone else had posted. The grid heater and the cooler temps drained the failing batteries.

    Battery replacement recommendations

    The OP stated his truck was a 2017 and this is the first time changing the battery. Meaning he got at least 7 years use out of the OEM battery. I believe I would replace the battery with exactly the same battery it had in it. Climate, accessories and driving habits all contribute to battery...

    Replaced Heater and Evaporator Cores

    It was an intimidating job to say the least. Two hours in, the sight of my entire dash laying in my front seat and wondering if this thing would ever run again was a little overwhelming! But in the end, 4 hours later, my truck was back together with heat and no smell of antifreeze in the cab. I...

    2022 6.7 Diesel Oil consumption

    I have a 2013 with 144K and it's never used any oil. I also change my oil every 5K miles. I know what Cummins says, but I don't care. Fleetguard filters and Rotella T4 Dino oil.

    How do I remove this stuck nut on battery connector?

    Some folks need AAA for good reason.

    How do I remove this stuck nut on battery connector?

    Makes sense. Take the new battery out of your way and cut it off if you have to. Get a good hold to it and the nut may thread past the staked end. Worst case, cut it all off and replace the whole terminal.

    How do I remove this stuck nut on battery connector?

    First, I would take the terminal off of the battery to work on it. I wouldn't want to crack or bust my battery by stressing it. See if you can get a pair of vise-grips on the square end then you should be able to wrench off the nut. Lastly, get a good fitting wrench and throw that adjustable...

    I BELIEVE I have throttle body problems

    My first thought would be fuel pump. I would have sworn the 1988 would have been carbureted, so I had to look it up. You have the very first year where the 318 had TBI. Even if you're hearing the fuel pump running, it may not be keeping enough pressure for the TBI to function properly. Fuel...

    Need your opinions.

    Raise the front-end and if you do, do it right with springs. Don't go the block route.

    Smelling Antifreeze in the cab

    I've ordered the OEM heater and evaporator cores. I've read a ton of posts and comments about the blend doors problems on the 3rd gens but I'm not seeing the same issues with the 4th gens. Has Ram not corrected the weak motors and connection on the blend doors on the 4th gens?

    66rfe valvebody failure

    Common problem. As these transmissions wear, they build pressure causing this. The factory accumulator plates and bolts are too thin and weak. My 68rfe blew out on the other end on the reverse/low accumulator side. I had no codes or hard shifting. You may be able to save that valve body...

    Smelling Antifreeze in the cab

    MotorCity Mechanic on YouTube has a 4-part series on taking the dash and HAVC box out of the 4th gen. I've watched them and it doesn't look too hard, just a lot to do and a lot of hidden fasteners. He says about 4 hours so I'm figuring a day and a half! BTW - I'm sourcing parts this morning...

    Smelling Antifreeze in the cab

    Sadly, I only smell it when I use the heat/defrost. As soon as I move the blend door, you get a strong smell of antifreeze.

    Smelling Antifreeze in the cab

    Well, I guess I'm due... My 2013 2500 CTD has a sweet smell of antifreeze when I turn on the heat. Carpet isn't wet yet, but I want to go ahead and get it swapped out. OEM is nearly 4 times the price of aftermarket. I don't mind spending the money if that's the route I need to take, but we...
